A Floristry Guide to Diwali
Diwali, the Festival of Lights, is a time of celebration, reflection, and renewal. As the Hindu community prepares to welcome this auspicious occasion, the team at BLOOM & SONG is delighted to share our floristry guide to help you create the perfect Diwali ambience.
Colour Palette
The traditional Diwali colour palette is a vibrant and joyous blend of hues. Incorporate shades of gold, orange, red, and yellow into your floral arrangements to capture the warmth and radiance of the festivities. Marigolds, chrysanthemums, and lilies are excellent choices that embody the spirit of Diwali.
Symbolic Flowers
Certain flowers hold deep significance during Diwali. The lotus, a symbol of purity and enlightenment, is a revered bloom that can be used to adorn puja rooms and entryways. Jasmine, with its delicate fragrance, is another popular choice, representing beauty and auspiciousness.
Diwali Garlands
No Diwali celebration is complete without the vibrant garlands that adorn homes and temples. Crafting your own Diwali garlands using flowers, leaves, and other natural elements can be a thoughtful and creative way to decorate your space. Consider incorporating marigolds, roses, and fragrant herbs for a stunning and meaningful display.
Candle Arrangements
Lighting is an integral part of Diwali, and floral arrangements featuring candles can create a mesmerising ambience. Arrange votive candles amidst a bed of flowers, or incorporate tealights into your centrepieces to illuminate the festivities.
Gifting Florals
Diwali is a time for exchanging gifts, and a beautifully curated floral arrangement makes for a thoughtful and elegant present. Consider creating bespoke bouquets or potted plants that can be gifted to family and friends to celebrate the occasion.
