Rose to the occasion: Floral décor tips to jazz up your house party
Creating the perfect ambience can go a long way for an unforgettable house party. One of the most impactful ways to achieve this is through the artful use of flowers. Meeta Gutgutia, co-founder of Ferns N Petals, shares floral décor ideas to spice up your indoor and outdoor space for intimate gatherings.
BACKYARD BASH
Planning an outdoor gathering? Gutgutia recommends sticking to a singular floral theme while incorporating intriguing elements. “For a simple yet elegant setup, consider Nargis (daffodil) flowers accented with warm yellow fairy lights,” she suggests. Integrating mirrors into outdoor arrangements also lends a whimsical ambience. “Large round mirrors, assorted glass vases and delicate tea-light candles, accompanied by white flowers, complete the enchanting setting,” Gutgutia adds.
ELEGANT EVENING DINNERS
For a sophisticated dinner affair, Gutgutia recommends opting for white flowers, such as lilies, roses, daisies, and hydrangeas. Adding candles to the arrangement enhances the overall décor.
Meanwhile, using natural jute runners and mats for table settings can help create a rustic charm. To personalise the experience, the expert advises incorporating wooden slices engraved with guests’ names. “It’s the little details that make all the difference,” she emphasises.
FESTIVE CHEER
Whether it’s an intimate Diwali party or a grand Holi bash, traditional Indian flowers and leaves can bring a fresh flavour into the festivities. “Consider incorporating small tree branches to hang tassels of mogra adorned with ghungroos. Place potted plants and floral arrangements throughout your outdoor space, utilising house plants like lady lace and small allium.” Gutgutia recommends.
