Dressing for Dinner

Home ZoneHere’s how you can create a perfect setting for a get together.

For setting up a dinner get together, it is important to select the right elements that characterize the occasion. Be different by doing away with candles and roses. Place coasters and playing-cards that feature paintings by famous artists. The paintings by popular artists add to the luxe quotient.
Instead of delectable cuisines and sweets prepared with desi ghee, opt for a light and healthy alternative for the diet-conscious – such as a fruit basket with a tempting selection. Instead of roses and carnations, use anthurium leaves as beds for lotus buds. Sea-shells on the serviettes, jasmine flowers in glasses, randomly-placed fragrant candles and crystal and pearl strings around t-lights give a plush look to the setting.

Tip
Do away with plain wooden coasters and use hand-painted designer ones instead.
Decorate goblets with ribbons.
For a low-seating arrangement, use metallic silver or fuchsia cushions to add a dash of colour.
