Four looks in four shades offer a fresh take on celebration

Verdant: This was all about bringing the outdoors in. “We used a lot of plants and combined them with colourful cushions with covers made out of amazing textiles from various saris. There is also a lovely phulkari chair. The flowers we used were the white daisy, like someone would decorate their own home. We wanted to go subtle and fresh and evoke a laid-back vibe. This has a very Indo-Chic bohemian sensibility.” 

Indigo: Blue made for an elegant shade in which to colour the space. “Everything was in indigo. We had cushion in indigo, as well as lovely jars and glassware in the same shade.” The pop of colour came through with yellow and white—yellow chrysanthemums and white baby’s breath.”

Serendipity: An unexpected, yet welcome combination of colours, material and fresh flowers led to the creation of two table settings.

One featured a combination of blue and yellow. The tableware was dominated by blue pottery—“we largely used blue jars and plates and complimented them with bright yellow marigolds”. The yellow popped through in some of the smaller plates as well.

The other table setting was a tasteful amalgamation of silver and porcelain tableware with the boldly red local, seasonal cockscomb flowers offering a dramatic counterpoint to the set-up.
