1. Printed Trays

When you’re choosing a serving tray, especially for a festival like Holi, it's quite evident that each type of tray offers a distinct vibe. To begin with, printed trays are the best way to infuse a sense of playful vibrancy in your Holi table decor. Such trays are usually filled with bold and aesthetic patterns like floral motifs and abstract designs and even mirror the colourful spirit of Holi. Not just this, choosing the printed tray would bring an instant cheerful atmosphere onto the table, and hence would make your gathering much more fun-filled.

2. Hand Painted Trays

It is quite true that the joy of celebrating Holi is uplifted when you serve the food in beautifully styled trays. Moreover, these kinds of trays exude uniqueness and even showcase the intricate designs and cultural motifs that ultimately reflect the rich cultural heritage of Holi as a festival. Not only this, these handpainted trays are special. Why? Because these had a personal touch, which in turn enhances the dining experience of your guests, and would truly make them feel overwhelmed and welcomed warmly.

3. Multifunctional Serving Platters

Multifunctional serving platters often come in a variety of materials like ceramic, wood, or metal. Well, this kind of tray offers practicality and adds versatility to your Holi feast. Additionally, there is a wide range of dishes that can be added to these trays, such as sweet treats like gujiya or savoury snacks like pakoras. In the end, these kinds of trays are constructed in a very sturdy form with ample surface area, which makes them ideal for a wide range of festive delicacies and ensures that all of your guests have everything they would need to enjoy the festive occasion fully.

Holi-Inspired Tray Arrangements

If you’re confused about what Holi-inspired tray arrangements you must follow for Holi, then we believe your confusion will be over when you read below:

1. Colour Coordination

When you’re crafting the holi-inspired trays, it's really important to keep color coordination in mind. Holi is a riot of hues, which must be highlighted in your tray arrangement. Hence, you must incorporate brighter shades in your tray, like pink, yellow, green, and even blue. Moreover, such colour arrangements can be used for food presentation, which may be in bowls or even trays.

2. Layering with Textures

Willing to add visual interest to your tray? You must focus on layering your tray with textures. For this, you must use elements such as fabric coasters in contrasting colours, brightly coloured napkins folded creatively, and more. Doing this not only creates an engaging experience but also enhances the look and feel of your tray.

3. Incorporating Traditional Elements

Nothing is complete on festive occasions other than adding that traditional element to it. For this, you may choose to serve in brass bowls and keep a small lit diya that will add a spiritual and warm glow to your table. Moreover, you can use terracotta figurines, which would add a layer of culture to your dining arrangement!
