Deepavali Decoration Guide: 4 Dried Flower Vase Designs

Looking for Deepavali decoration that lasts? These four dried flower vase designs can light up every corner of your home this Deepavali (Sunday, 8 November 2026), and none of them need water or will wilt before your guests leave.

Fresh flowers struggle in Singapore's heat and humidity, and they rarely last the week of open houses and visits. Dried flower arrangements keep their colour for months, so you style once and enjoy them through the whole festive season and beyond.

Four dried flower vase designs for Deepavali: golden pampas, lilac and terracotta, olive and magenta, and peach and gold.

Below are four of our handmade designs, each in festive tones of gold, marigold, crimson and silver. For each one, we share where it looks best and who it suits as a Deepavali gift.

1. Golden Pampas in a Gold Vase: the showpiece

This is the most festive of the four, built in the classic Deepavali palette of gold, red and silver. It catches the glow of diyas and fairy lights, which makes it the natural star of your living room.

Design 1: Golden pampas, crimson bunny tails and silver seed pods in a faceted gold vase, our most festive Deepavali showpiece.

What's in it: golden pampas plumes in honey and caramel tones, crimson bunny tails, silver-painted seed pods, broad dried leaves in sage and copper, tiny yellow star flowers, lime-green feathery grass and a cloud of dried buds.

The vase: a faceted gold vase with a patterned rim, which you can reuse long after the festival.

Best for: a living room console, the main table at your open house, or a generous Deepavali gift for parents, in-laws or clients.

2. Lilac and Terracotta Pampas: the open house centrepiece

This tall, bold design brings the colours of marigold garlands and rangoli straight to your table. Its height makes it easy to see across a busy room of guests.

Design 2: Marigold amaranthus, lilac pampas and red and yellow bunny tails in a tall terracotta vase, the perfect open house centrepiece.

What's in it: tall orange amaranthus plumes at the centre, lilac pampas, red and yellow bunny tails, silver-painted seed pods, dried wheat, tiny yellow star flowers and mossy green buds.

The vase: a tall, ribbed vase in a warm terracotta tone, with an earthy, handmade look.

Best for: the centre of your open house buffet table, an entrance console, or a living room corner styled with festive cushions.

Design 3: Magenta plumes, silver seed pods and lime-green grasses in a frosted olive green vase, styled with a flameless candle for a welcoming entrance corner.

What's in it: magenta pink plumes, lime-green grasses, golden wheat tones, silver seed pods, crimson bunny tails, green star flowers and a cloud of dried buds.

The vase: a frosted olive green glass vase with a handmade finish.

Best for: an entrance shelf, a hallway console or a side table by the sofa. It also makes a thoughtful housewarming gift.

4. Terracotta Pampas in an Olive Green Vase: soft peach & gold

If you prefer a softer festive look, this peach and gold design is warm without being loud. It sits comfortably in modern, neutral homes as well as traditional ones.

Design 4: Golden grasses, peach pampas, coral star flowers and golden bunny tails in a frosted olive green vase, a softer take on Deepavali colours.

What's in it: peach pampas, golden grasses and wheat, golden bunny tails, coral-pink star flowers, silver seed pods, airy lime-green sprays and a base of soft green dried buds.

The vase: the same frosted olive green glass vase, so it pairs beautifully with Design 3 as a matching set.

Best for: a bedroom or study, a quieter corner of the living room, or a gift for friends who love a gentler colour palette.

Deepavali decoration tips: how to style your home with dried flowers

1. Start at the entrance. Guests form their first impression at the door, so place a compact arrangement on a shelf or console nearby.

2. Make one big centrepiece. Choose your tallest or most golden design for the buffet or main table, where everyone gathers.

3. Add light safely. Use flameless LED candles and fairy lights for a diya-like glow. Keep real oil lamps and sparklers well away from dried flowers.

4. Layer with texture. Set your vase on a round wooden slice or a brass tray, and repeat its colours in cushions or table runners.

5. Pair a matching set. Two olive green vases (Designs 3 and 4) side by side on a long console look intentional and stylish.

6. Mind the airflow. Keep arrangements out of the direct path of fans and air-conditioner vents, which can dry out and loosen delicate stems.

Caring for dried flowers in Singapore's humidity

With a little care, these dried flower arrangements keep their look well beyond Deepavali, often for a year or more.

• Never add water. Dried flowers are already preserved and water will spoil them.

• Avoid direct sunlight. Strong sun fades colours over time, so place them away from bright windows.

• Keep away from humidity. Bathrooms and kitchens are not ideal spots for dried flowers.

• Dust gently. Use a hairdryer on its coolest, lowest setting, held about 30 cm away.

• Handle with care. Pampas and grasses are delicate, so move the vase by its base, not the stems.
