Indian Sweets in a traditional decor way!

Its that time of the year again!Song,dance,dinners ,lunches,sweets,and tonnes of festivities that call for an evening.Whatever festivities,it all ends up and sums up at the party table.So why not bow to the tradition and face it.From table covers that could be made with old sarees to flower decor on the table and pretty diyas to amazing sweets on the table and the decoration that goes for them..let everything be traditional.

There are an awesome bunch of food bloggers out here who cook up a storm,decorate and spread the fragrance of good food.Lets see how dramatically with props they have changed the simple looking food to gorgeous dishes on the table.
