1,2,3 Tablescapes, By Pavitra Rajaram



Its that time of the year again. In Mumbai, raucous sound of drums and trussed pandals have heralded the arrival of the Gods a while back.  The noise and gaiety of it all will last well past November.  An invitation to a decor workshop at this juncture may or may not mean too many things  given that so much is available online and offline.. ( Thanks to pinterest,  the world always looks like it's drowning  in picture perfect celebrations any way). Only this one was organized at the flagship store of Goodearth,  in Mumbai, and was going to be a ticket to hear designer and stylist
Pavitra Rajaram.   The time just had to be made!

T he well attended afternoon organized by Essars Learning initiative, Avid Learning had over 55 participants jostling for  pearls of decor wisdom Pavitra generously and very entertainingly  doled  during the course of the three hour workshop.  Turned out even those three were not enough and she had to breeze through her very thoughtfully researched and well put together presentation in order to complete it in time.

What goes into making mood boards, why make them? Colours, what shades? decor trends, table-scapes, entertaining at home an endless list of delicious conundrums.

 Engorged with information and thankful for the tea, participants were treated to three delightful table-scapes laid out with the approaching festive season in mind. Without further ado here are a few pictures from the afternoon.

Watching Pavitra and her team at work was like watching master juggler/ magicians at work as they  put together three entirely different looks together in a matter of minutes.   Although it is hard doing justice to their work with mere pictures, you will do well to open this link  here in another window before you go on with the rest of the post ..! :)






















Have a good time table setting good folks, and do come back for lots more to come from  girlabouthome's Diwali post list. Watch this space !!

Wedding moods

Four mood boards for three days of celebration. The brief: A traditional setting that marries (no pun intended!)  contemporary and kitschy elements.. Lends three distinct looks to the three evenings. Is fun and makes the most of the location..a renovated palace in Rajasthan. I am no wedding planner , but compelled by the colours  and light of   all things Indian that a Indian wedding usually epitomises, I found myself putting the `looks' together.
Sharing it here, if only for the fun that went into it...!









What to you guys think? Do indulge me.. let the suggestions and ideas flow!
look forward to hearing from  you :)

Most images used for the mood boards are courtesy the internet.
