Inspiration: Styling your centerpieces for Diwali

I saw a peacock feather inspired centerpiece and was floored by the vibrancy and the life the colors brought to the table. Not too many colors, but the color play from blue and green has a stunning effect over all against the dark wood table. It’s fresh, nothing like you’ve seen before. The silkiness of the fabrics, ribbons coordinate well with the peacock feathers. The simple white vase accentuates the beauty. Would you use this idea for your Diwali setting? Combine this with a few floating candles and the picture is perfect. Craving for more? Stay tuned for more styling ideas tomorrow. Pat: This is for you. I’m sure you loved it.
