Diwali in the Garden

Where the festival of lights met the magic of the garden.

Each year, we look forward to celebrating Diwali, and this year we transformed the garden into a glowing wonderland. Hundreds of handmade lanterns filled the night sky, while floating lotus flowers cast a gentle shimmer over the pool. The pool deck itself became part of the celebration, adorned with intricate patterns reminiscent of the client’s grandparents’ home in India.

Guests were treated to culinary delicacies from North and South India as well as Pan-Asian cuisine, alongside a roaming chocolate cart from our favorite chocolatier, Cacao & Cardamom. Cocktails were garnished with ice sculptures filled with blooms, topped with edible flowers and delicate silk butterflies. As guests departed, they were greeted by colorful rangolis created by the children, decorating the driveway with vibrant designs. A lush flower bar awaited them, inviting each guest to curate their own bouquet to take home, along with teas sourced from England.
