Party Decorations

Decorations for an indoor party are mostly in 3 areas. The Entrance, the Rooms and the Table. Use the ideas given in the list below to suit your special evening.

The Entrance

• Frame the main door with flowers or fabric or little lights or torans (bandhanwars).
• Have large arrangements of plants or flowers
• Line the entrance corridor with covered lights and flowers or small potted plants
• Stick colorful paper windmills into pots near the entrance, or in the garden for a garden party
• Make Alpana/rangoli arrangements in the corners and along the walls

The Rooms

• The corners are good for large dramatic arrangements. These could be with plants, fresh flowers, dried plants, drift wood or fabric . Use them to great effect to  set off your color scheme
• The ceiling is suitable for streamers, fabrics or flowers or leaves strung on thread. Little lights or gold or silver paper or glass balls add to the impact.
• Use Streamers and balloons on the walls.
• Use colored lights to create a different mood.
• Highlight the doorways into the living and dining rooms with flowers, lights and leaves.
• Helium balloons can also be used to good effect on the ceiling and in the corners.
• The sideboard is a popular place for stunning arrangements. Here even the crockery could be arranged to great effect

The Table

• Small arrangements in the centre or at each place setting are popular for sit downs but for buffets the limit is only your imagination.
• Fruit and vegetable decoration with some flowers and leaves as a central panel.
• Small light strings around the dishes.
• Paper or satin streamers criss crossing along the tables.
• Small arrangements interspersed with candles or diyas.
• Bunches of helium balloons rising high with the base hidden with flowers.
• Petals forming alpana patterns.
• Coloured rice or dals for making a central mosaic.Use holiday souvenirs to great effect as table centres. They make for good conversation pieces too!
