NOT JUST A TABLE

An abundance of florals, the soft glow of candles, and accessories that define elegance - a quick scroll through the Instagram page of Dining Couture is a visual treat in itself, and stylist Ami Kothari is the force behind it.

Table styling is so much more than just 'setting a table' - it goes beyond simply arranging cutlery and plates in an aesthetically pleasing manner. After a decade of dedicated service to teaching special needs children, Kothari took an unexpected turn as she delved into the world of table styling during a break from teaching. What started as a passion project soon evolved into the birth of Dining Couture - a serendipitous fusion of her love for design and her desire to craft unforgettable dining experiences. Ha led over 300 wor globally and worked with international brands, Dining Couture has now emerged as a testament to Kothari's innate ability to infuse warmth and style into every setting.

Where the magic begins

"It's all about capturing the soul of the hosts, the spirit of the guests, and the essence of the occasion. Each setting is a tailored reflection of their personalities and the unique gathering. For me, candles and flowers have that kind of touch that adds magic to every setting," says Kothari.
