Iftar table decoration ideas
1. Choose a calming colour scheme
A soothing colour scheme sets the tone for the table. Go for warm, earthy brown tones such as golden, beige, ivory, and moonlight silver for an elegant and calm look.
2. Add warm lanterns
For a warm decor, do not forget to add soft glow lanterns. Place a mix of metal, glass and Moroccan-style lanterns along the centre table to add aesthetic to the feasting table.
3. Use natural flowers
Fresh flowers on the table instantly uplift the spirit with aroma and calmness. Choose lilies, baby’s breath or jasmine for sublte and refreshing arrangement. For a budget-friendly option, add eucalyptus leaves or simple green branches. These natural elements bring balance and add a touch of sophistication to your Iftar table decoration.
4. Add table runner
Instead of a full tablecloth, opt for a textured or embroidered table runner with crescent-moon patterns, Islamic geometric motifs, or simple gold borders. A table runner draws attention to the centre and lets your food platters shine.
5. Date platter display
Dates are the first food of Iftar, so create a designated date platter that becomes the hero of the table. Arrange Medjool, Ajwa, Safawi, and Deglet Noor dates in a crescent shape on a platter.
6. Add place cards and napkins
Napkins folded into crescent moon shapes or simple, elegant fans add personality to your setup. Add handwritten name cards for guests for a warm and thoughtful touch to the celebrations.
7. Add height with a tiered dessert stand
Tiered stands add dimension and allow you to display mithai, dried fruits, Turkish delights and small desserts beautifully. A gold or white stand works best with most Iftar table themes.
It is a time of reflection, calm and coming together to celebrate the spirit of festivities. Combine soft, light and meaningful elements for a personalised setup and enjoy feasting at the Iftari table with your loved ones.
