It's hard to believe that we're only two months away from our yearly hafla. . . A showcase for Rusty Belly Dance students to show friends and family what we've been up to when we disappear for a few hours every week.
Keeping in the spirit of the hafla - which literally means party in Arabic - we're enjoying this fun-filled evening in true bedouin style. For our new students, it may be a foreign concept, but have no fear!
Tonight I will give you a few decor ideas to get the creative juices flowing. Enjoy!
 |
| For those selecting a spot near a wall can indulge in deluxe draping to give it that secluded feel. |
 |
| There is no rules - mix and match colours, textures and sizes. Round things off with some brass/gold accessories. |
 |
| Keep table decor bright and exuberant - crazy colours, flower petals, candles, etc. |
 |
| Since you'll be seated on the floor, keep your guests comfy with lots of pillows, throws and even a few low footstools. |
 |
| This pin has a link to awesome DYI tips to make these vases yourself (for the creative types!) |
 |
| More patterns and bright colours - no rules! |
 |
| This is another simple DIY idea - cheap trays that you can spray paint gold, glitter paper and tealight candles. |
 |
| To keep things a little more muted and sophisticated, stick to two complementary colours. |
 |
| The shops are full of bohemian inspired drinking glasses like these - fill with sand and stick a tealight in or use it for serving refreshments. |
 |
| Daybeds for those who cannot go down to the floor is also a great idea. |
 |
| Poufs in complementary colours also provide a slightly raised seating option. |
 |
| Reminiscent of an Indian aatri plate - always a nice centre piece. Just a word to the wise: KEEP CANDLES AWAY FROM VEILS AT ALL TIMES!!! |

| Another idea for wall drapings if you are up for it - or maybe a wild idea for our photo booth?
Hope you've got some inspiration and that you're all getting ready for our big night!
Enjoy your weekend!
