Are you looking for some last minute decor tips for Diwali ... or just another feature to add to the well planned out all done up home ... a series of miniature arrangements could be just what you are looking for ...
... a set of glasses and flowers of the same kind ... is probably all you will need ...
... I even thought of using them as a centre piece ... and how about a lovely gilded frame ... for a base ... :)I swiped one of the paintings done by my daughter ... a nostalgic piece from when she was just about 2 yrs. old ... I love the colors and the gold of the frame ...
... each individual piece placed around the house....just pulls the whole decor together like a common thread ...
... its the simplest decor you can think of ... but when you stand back and look at them ... they look rather charming ...
Did I say Indian brassware was really happening with me this year ... ahh! hope you liked this bit of last minute affair ... do let me know what you think of miniature flower arrangements ... :)
Its brilliant Rajee.... If I'm strugging for time day after... this is something I'm surely going to do!! Loved it!
ReplyDeleteLove it!! love it!! love it!!!
ReplyDelete:) This is the simplest it can get. I'm going to go buy some brass stuff rt now!! Er? where can I get those from??
n oh.... Which camera do u own??? I am unable to post any stuff bcos the camera is dead!! Ur pics always come out stunning. It could have more to do with the photographer than the camera but I'm just curious.
ReplyDeletegorgeous...just gorgeous...what a could warmer than a deep red...
ReplyDeletenice pics, brass work really stands out to catch the eye...
ReplyDeleteDiwali is just around the corner but this year will be a rather damp affair. Hoping for a big one next year in the new house though, that would be something to watch out for.

Wow, Gurgaon is like the backyard. Whenever life drives me to the hills, I head for Gurgaon. I live in Janakpuri as of now, no reason so far why it should change by this time next year.
ReplyDeleteRajee, I decided to have a garden party. Kids, dogs and all. The problem is not the your flower arrangements(brilliant), but the lighting, there is breeze - a lot of it, and Diwali without lights is not good. So back to my Arabic lanterns again.
ReplyDeleteRoyal and beautiful..silver and rose makes a great combination
ReplyDeletePraji, be ready to drive over to the hills,often ... :)
ReplyDeletePraji, be ready to drive over to the hills,often ... :)
