Hello everyone

Today's blog is all about the garland that I have prepared along with my grandmother. We prepared those garlands for the home decor but it's wasn't a easy task at all. As today is Diwali in Indian therefore we are trying our best to decorate our home in everyway possible. Preparing garland and hanging them above the door is one of them.

My apple farm is full of marigolds these days, I plucked some of them to make the garland. Always remember, you should pluck flowers with same size as they will look better together and gives a perfect look. Also if you want the garland to last longer than the flowers you have plucked should be fresh.

Marigold is believed to brought wealth and prosperity to the home that's why we have decided to prepare garland from them also we have plenty of them in our garden.

I loved how soft the flowers were, like a soft silk blanket.

Here you pay attention to every small details, the petals and the flowers, their color, the smell, everything. The process make you fall in love with it, it is so relaxing and calming.

It took us an hour to prepare 6-7 garlands as it's a detailed work, you need to pay attention if you don't want to hurt yourself and want it perfect.
