Short days and chilly temperatures don’t seem so cruel when
you love to decorate and celebrate the approaching festive season. I have
started putting on the glitz to kick start the madness and magic of Diwali at
my end. From rustic to glam and goldly to earthen, the possibilities are
delightfully endless when it comes to dazzling Diwali décor. Just like last
year, I have whipped up something bolder and playful this season for my Diwali
special flat lays.
Flat lay is a perfect way for me to experiment with clusters
of my favorite thing in new combinations
to spread the festive cheer. Come Diwali, out comes my hidden treasures. They
are actually nostalgia bearers. Taking them out each year is like discovering
pieces of history. Updated here are some old standbys and left new classics
untouched for Diwali flat lay styling.
Some colors have power to transport you, red itself being a spirited
color, it adds lot of impact and vibrancy anywhere you use during festive
season. A classic look of red and gold that
never dips out of style here looks sassy and stylist with little bit of green thrown in.
I went for a traditional look with a twist by hopping the
fence for this flat lay. Instead of implementing the typical gold details, I
enjoyed toying in calmer shades
with soft and delicate pastel hues of silver. Mishmash of unrelated
things lends a wonderful texture and vibrancy here. I have a thing for all ‘bajoths’. I own quite a few of them..in all shapes and sizes....Did you notice?? In mostly all flat lays I have used different ones….go check
it out. This rectangular one is a new
addition in our collection that I recently fetched from BAPS temple in New
Jersey.
I absolutely love the natural color and rustic appeal of
terra cotta. The Vintage bits and pieces of terra cotta never fail to
add festive vibes in any corner they are placed. Whatever will be the era, the
charm and instant glamour of terra cotta will always be appealing. The natural
ones as well as the newly fashioned diyas look gorgeously eye catching and chic
in this mod meets old scheme. Last few marigolds that survived the cold front came
in handy on this flat lay :).
The terra cotta love continues in this last flat lay also as
I had to style and show off newly fetched diyas from my recent India trip.
Beside their decorative look, I always look for the ones that can fit the
tea-light candle. It minimizes the mess and hassle of working with oil.
Flat lays work as a visual delight; it is a quick, simple
way to show off my collection in a creative way. A strong luxurious statement through my shiny
brass, play of flickering diyas and swapping out the accessories spread the
perfect festive cheer.
Hopefully these creative assemblage will put your creative
juices into overdrive, so you, too, can craft a festive look that’s just truly
your own. Circle back again to see our "Diwali Exchange" post to get you Diwali ready. Until we meet again, toodles!
