The weeks of big Indian festivities have begun. Within upcoming days arrives Diwali, and our homes have already become madhouses of intense cleaning and Diwali decor. The fragrance of fresh flowers, diya lamps, fairy light decorations and Lakshmi poojan — the entire vibe of this celebration is filled with positivity and hope. People decorate their houses in the best possible way to welcome positive spirits and Goddess Lakshmi into their homes. Exchanging of sweets, the celebration of Govardhan poojan and Bhai Dooj are what comprise this festival into one of the biggest in India. Wedding Affair recommends some outdoor decor ideas to light up this Diwali –
Fresh Flowers
The classic decor of fresh flowers adorning the wall or railings of the verandas and rooftops never goes out of fashion. Besides, it is a super affordable and hassle-free way of decorating your outdoors. The fragrance of flowers also keeps the mood alive. While we all go frenzy in cleaning and decorating our house for the festival, a few bright blooms are all you need to have your festive decoration game on point. Whether you want a beautiful floral centrepiece or redo your Puja Area with garlands, unknowingly flowers are an integral part of Diwali Arrangements. Agree?
Lanterns
Lanterns also look particularly beautiful for the vibe of Diwali decor. Putting lanterns on the main gates, in the gardens or the balconies is a great way to make space look Diwali ready and festive. When you dress up a lantern in other ways, a simple white candle is all you need! Something as simple as tying sprigs of greenery and pinecones to the top of the lantern with pretty ribbon dresses it right up.
Green Rangoli
Traditionally, rangolis have been made out of fresh flowers or special rangoli colours. When flowers are used for rangolis, the stems, buds and other parts of the plant are simply thrown away as waste. This time, you can use the stems and buds too, to create a green rangoli decor.
Light Bulbs
These are also classic decor for Diwali. This time you can go minimalistic with the lighting to highlight the aesthetics of your veranda. One strand of light bulbs is perfect to light up the outdoors in a minimalist fashion.
Jars and Candles
From small to big — candles in a jar look very appealing in outdoor decor settings. Place them on the staircases, verandas, outside the main doors or porches, these are sure to beautify the surroundings with a cheery appeal. Candlelight is representative of many things. Peace, serenity, relaxation and romance are just a few. We are no doubt drawn to candlelight for the same reasons that our ancestors were once drawn to fire. Candles are an easy and elegant way to access our primitive attraction to the flame.
