It’s (Moon) Lit
Your Mid-Autumn Celebration Cheat Sheet
As one of the oldest holidays centred around family reunions, Mid-Autumn Festival is on-par with Chinese New Year in weight and significance. The usual trimmings of this holiday are embodied in its centuries-old lore, with customs and traditions celebrating the eighth full moon of the lunar year. It is an occasion for expressing gratitude, and goodwill toward those in your family and social circles.
Although we don’t know how to get our hands on Chang’e’s husband’s immortality elixir, we do know a thing or two about what to get your loved ones, coordinating outfits for moon gazing, and offering fresh tablescaping ideas to let you celebrate unity and harmony in style during this annual affair.
On gifting...
While a delicate and delectable mooncake gift box or gourmet tea set is always a winner during Mid-Autumn Festival, for those looking for an alternative, consider delighting your loved ones with something that’s equal parts luxurious and quirky – Ichendorf’s whimsical drinkware or an Agresti Mahjong Set.
On the dress code….
Comfort is key (because we all need extra room for the ‘food baby’) when it comes to dressing up for a moon-gazing party or a family feast. Lean into your wardrobe staples teamed with this season’s hottest accessories to exude effortless sophistication.
On setting the table...
Add instant charm to your table with floral arrangements in vibrant vases and beautifully crafted tableware. Pro tip: light a candle or two to add to the cosy atmosphere.
