Picture this: you're ambling through a meadow when an unusual sight catches your eye. A table dressed to the nines with flowers, candles, exquisite serveware and a cornucopia P of dishes is perched delicately on the grass, the tablecloth fluttering in the wind to the babbling of the brook nearby. If this scene feels like it has been plucked from the folds of a dream, stylist and creative consultant Kirthanaa Naidu can take credit for being its architect.
