Diwali is the most visually beautiful celebration worldwide. It is the Hindu festival of lights, a feast for your senses. It is also an excellent time to gather with your loved ones to exchange gifts, have fun, share delicious meals, and make lasting memories. While you decorate your home with lights, you should also prepare for God’s worship and guests. The best way to make your home welcoming is to attach torans at the entrance.
They are decorative door hangings made with marigolds and mango leaves or a string tied on the door with flowers at festivals and weddings. Other decorations you can consider for your Diwali party include:
Lights
Diwali is the festival of lights, so this is arguably the most important part of your party decor. While real candles and diyas create beautiful warmth, LED votives and tealights are ideal alternatives. Decorate your entrance with colourful paper lanterns and strands of twinkling lights indoors and outdoors to enhance the overall ambience.
Floral flourishes
The traditional flower of Diwali is marigolds, so brighten ...
... up your space with loads of these vibrant blooms in orange and yellow. Decorate your tablescape, mantle, and other areas with fresh marigold flowers. Use plastic versions of marigold door toran to drape over door frames, bookshelves, bannisters, mirrors, and tables.
Rangoli displays
Even if you are not planning to make an authentic rangoli pattern with colourful powdered rice or flour on your floor, you can find decorative rangoli designs to place around your home or event space. Look for rangoli wall and floor stickers with beautifully detailed acrylic beading. These are available at most home décor furniture outlets.
Bar cabinets
Make sure to get all the ingredients for crafting delicious Indian cocktails. You can buy a bar cabinet for your home to place these drinks and let your guests enjoy them.
Sweets and party favours
Known as mithai in Hindi, traditional Indian desserts such as burfi, jalebi, laddoo, halwa, and kaju katli are customary gifts during Diwali. Dry fruits are another favourite. You can also arrange for party favours such as a stash of sparklers, colourful wine stoppers, elephant-shaped tealight holders, or goodie bags with chocolate coins.
Veneration preparations
Performing veneration at home with guests is a delightful gesture. You can invite them before the auspicious time and worship Goddess Laxmi with a pooja thali filled with diyas, vermillion, and other decorations.
Conclusion
Whether you plan an elaborate affair or a small get-together, the beauty of Diwali gets your guests to celebrate. With these ideas for decor, you will create a memorable and fun experience for all.
