In the last post, I mentioned financial crisis, we are  sure many peoples wedding and event plans have been put on hold, and budgets have been cut, thats no problem. At November we work with your budget, we are honest and tell you what you can get for the amount that you would like to spend. 

There are silver linings to this problem, first of all, you can invite only those you really care about, having your close family and friends there to share your special day is far more personal and intimate than a large wedding. You can converse, share stories, and even take all kinds of pictures with everyone there.

With smaller weddings you actually have more choices for venue selection, the possibilities are endless, from restaurants, to chalets, small tents in your garden and even in your living rooms and diwaniyas. You would be suprised at the amount of places that will offer you their venues for your upcoming event, keeping in mind you follow the rules and regulations of the places.(If you are of the liberal kind, and would like to throw a mixed event, we would recommend private venues)

Banqueting options are in your favour. You can have a 5 course seated dinner or an exquisite buffet display with sushi, create your own salad, and steak stations, food can be tagged with labels and names of those that brought in the dish. Seating can be on long banquet tables, you can fill up the tables with crystal glasses and silver forks and spoons, all provided in the cost of the catering company!

Decoration can be minimal, go with what accents the location, not try to over power the space. (Dont go for a modern look in a classic room), complement your surroundings instead of working against everything, it will clash, it will look horrible in pictures and your guests will notice the lack of cohesion of the over all look.

There are many more ways of cutting costs, so every week i will be posting 3 ideas to assist you in having a lovely event, without breaking the bank and giving your poor parents a heart attack.

Wedding are tense and all of the preperations are quite frustrating, dont let budget come in between your sanity and family. Relax, discuss a figure with your family that is realistic, and then come in for a consultation and we will see what we can do to assist you with whatever event you have coming up.

Even though we don’t really have a “Spring”, we would love to believe we do!

Taking design ideas from fashion, weddings, and

celebrations from all over the world, we have become obsessed with citrus colours as well as corals, yellows and creams. The colours are happy and fresh, and will bring a smile to even those depressed and blue over the economic crisis! 

You can still have your events, just downsize! you dont need to invite 700 guests if its too much, invite 250 and let it be a close and intimate event, definitely more prestigious and elegant.

here are a few inspirational pictures taken from our favourite event blogs that maybe will help you come up with a few ideas of your own for your next event.

This weekend has been a fun one, we have been doing our orders for the next collection as well as opening boxes of new stuff! our fight with the customs is finally over and we are slowly but surely recieving our little packages, 

about 2 years ago i was in one of the design fairs and fell in love with these gorgeous laser cut bowls and dishes, cut so finely to look just like lace doilies!

There was no November shop at the time so there really was no point in ordering the items with no display area for them… 

this year at the design show i saw them again. and the designs were nicer than before.. so i did my orders… and THEY ARE HERE!!

a bit pricey but worth it!

 

 

 

 

 

Have a great day!

xx November

We have never been fans of relaxation and spas, untill we are  told, that we look so tired and exhausted, all of the time, 

so we searched in the market and didnt really find anything that

suited our needs, nothing too fru-fru and nothing that smells like fresh baked cookies.. why on earth would we want to smell like cake?!

so we found the perfect answer.. ABAHNA.

Abahna is dedicated to a philosophy of nature, so they ensure their products to being as natural, simple and effective as possible. 

Check out the collection that we have available at Tilal, we have ordered lovely bath sets where you can customize the scent of the bath salts and lotions to suit your mood and needs, candles and even travel sets.

The gifts sets are perfect for honeymoon gifts, overworked friends and even a little indulgence for yourself.

Enjoy.

November

 

 

The city of Bombay is colorful and festive, and has many interesting elements of design and decorative ornaments everywhere! Here are some photos of some things I thought were interesting – but simply put together… 

 

This picture is from a Thai restaurant, the glass front is made up of many jars of dyed spices, simple and extremely vibrant ! 

 

 

 

 

These images were taken from hallways of the hotel that were made up of glass cases filled with yarn, each case having different color themes, again really simple, but pleasant aesthetically ….

Fresh from Holland, Jane Packer, our flower providers, fly in just about any kind of flowers we ask for ! According to the event, we pick the perfect floral arrangements to go with the theme of the night or day … 

Also, smaller arrangements are put together for small gifts and giveaways… 

For any floral arrangements or event needs get in contact ! We promise the freshest and brightest blooms
