Getting ready for the party

Yesterday, I hosted a party for 35 of my neighbors and friends. I wanted to host a candle light dinner before the summer ends. The theme of the party was candle light dinner at the Nunna farm.  The day of the party began with harvesting flowers from my garden to make arrangements for the party. Since it is a candle light dinner, I pulled out the candles that I wanted to use.

The flowers were arranged and the candles were gathered in the morning for the party.


Recycled bottles were used to serve beverages. I dressed up these bottles with raffia and a leaf cutout (I used a Martha Stewart leaf punch). I am a sucker for any leaf motif. Even my company logo was designed with a leaf motif.

I have a lot more to share about the party in future posts.

For more memorable centerpieces, tablescapes, and recipes (including vegetarian, gluten free and vegan recipes), please check out my book, Entertaining From an Ethnic Indian Kitchen, at my website komalinunna.com.

I am joining Susan's Between Naps on the Porch for Metamorphosis Monday, Patty's Weekly StorySeasonal Sundays, Table top Tuesday and Savvy Southern Style.
