Lilly Singh Instagram – A Royal Time was had 👑✨
Insight into what it takes to throw Love & Light each year👇🏽
I spend about a year planning my Diwali party, which means yes, I’ll be starting 2026 very soon. It’s not just because I’m Type A and mildly unhinged, it’s also because I truly love throwing events. It’s my little light throughout the year.
I base every decision on ✨vibes✨. I think about what a guest might need to have a good time. I’ve been to too many parties where I leave hungry or my feet hurt. Not under my roof 👏🏽
This year, my event planner was @panacheaffair_shveta and her team at @apanacheaffair. Shveta, I need to give you all the roses. Throwing an event with me is no easy feat, but you crushed it. Thank you for being so organized and allowing me to be crazy with the details (custom Diwali happy meal boxes?!). Even my family was raving… and they’re tough to impress.
For the 5th year in a row, Saman and her team at @2createdesigns made the party feel like another world. With exotic florals, vintage rentals, and a gorgeous fountain surrounded by Kathak dancers (choreo by @chasinglife), it felt like a real palace. My fave look yet!
Music is everything. For the 5th year, @3dsounds @amit_3ds @djnitro absolutely delivered. My guests text me every year about how fire the music is. Everyone LIVES on the dance floor. This ain’t a networking event… it’s a Punjabi party.
Special shoutout to @m2ray who did a guest set. Her mashups of dancehall, hip hop, Hindi… obsessed. I didn’t sit down once.
Most common thing in people’s hands while dancing? Biryani. @mantraindiancuisine nailed it again. The live stations, the passed apps (chaat cones?!), 10/10. Plus, @chaiwaleandco’s chai with fresh jalebis by @garmagaramjalebi. HEAVEN!
Comfy feet = nonstop dancing. I always set up a free slide booth, and @cushionaireshoes came through. Dropping it low in a lengha is easier in slippers!
@desibeatcollective crushed the 360 booth. Because let’s be real, everything is better in slow motion.
And huge love to @julioparedesfilms for capturing every single core memory in cinematic brilliance.
Thank you all for helping make this party my Royal dream ✨💜 | Posted on 21/Oct/2025 06:16:02
