Right after your Diwali cleaning, celebratory shopping and guestlist for the dinner party you’re hosting is in place, it’s time to focus on the finer details. The list for that may be long, but start off by planning your dinner table setting, and the elements it needs. Sounds daunting? It doesn’t have to, because we’ve rounded up the most statement-making serveware and decor accents to make your Diwali dinner memorable.
A Splendid Tablescape
The highlight of any dinner table is a cheese board placed at the centre of it. Make your charcuterie board the talk of the table by adorning it with exquisite aged cheeses, exotic fruits, savoury dips, and crackers! In addition to this, table runners with rich and ethnic motifs do a fine job of amping up the feast!
Light Up The Night
Since Diwali has always been known as the festival of lights, your dinner party cannot look like just another get-together. Scented candles are sure to amp up the ambience of your home. With pleasing aromas wafting through your living room, the dinner experience will be etched in the minds of your guests forever. Complement the candles with aesthetic candle stands that magnify the charm of your dinner table.
Add A Dose Of Freshness
Festivities demand flower decorations! So, there’s no denying that your dinner table is incomplete without blooming accents. Pick a standout vase to create a stunning arrangement that visually aligns with your table setting and acts as a spectacular centrepiece.
Bring Art To The Table
While coasters are an when it comes to avoiding those nasty stain rings, they can get boring and irrelevant – unless you play around with them. Make offbeat choices with artisanal resin coasters that make the drinks all the more interesting, whether it’s just a simple glass of water or cold-pressed juice.
Raise Your Spirits
What are dinner parties without amusements? If you’ve got a Taash game planned for the evening, elevate the excitement with regal cardholders that are in line with the festive theme. Raise the spirits of your guests literally and figuratively with champagne served in elegant flutes that are as exquisite as your Chardonnay.
With all these things checked off your list, your Diwali dinner party is sure to be a total hit!
