'Tis the season... Christmas decorating galore for an opening of a hospital!

As the title reads, Christmas decorating galore for an opening of a hospital. This is the latest project that I've been working on! I was asked to design and decorate a new hospital tower with Holiday/Christmas decor, which is scheduled to open next week! Christmas trees, ornaments, garlands, glitter and lights are just a glimpse into what the past few weeks have been about. Oh and did I mention Christmas trees??? Yes, I did! The fun part of this project is that each Christmas tree is thematically different from the next. Stay tuned for the photographs coming soon!

Ester and Raffi's Wedding

Romantic with a classy touch, describes this wedding! Ester, as a designer herself, did not want to go with the traditional florist for her wedding. Originally, contemplating between another florist and myself for her wedding, she ended up going with her first choice, me! Ester came in with ideas of how she envisioned her wedding arrangements to be. She wanted her arrangements to consist of red roses in a pavee look. As she was informing me, I was already visioning and formulating the design,with a fusion of ideas. Generally, I like to incorporate other details of the wedding day that a client brings in, into my design. For example, I asked Ester to tell me what her invitations looked like and they had crystal details on them, so I incorporated that detail into the arrangements. The result, beautiful centerpieces, as seen in the following photographs, consisting of deep red colored roses on custom made Swarovski bases. Although, the deep red roses were the floral focus for this wedding, there were fuschia and white roses, as well as calla lilies, incorported throughout different pieces as well. For example, Ester's bouquet consisted of white roses and calla lilies,which was accented by an elegant crystal brooche.

Lala & Albert @ Castaway - Verdugo Room

When Lala and Albert came to see me for their event a month before their wedding , They both had different Ideas as to how they wanted their wedding to be. Lala wanted something small, cute and colorful and Albert wanted something chic.

Lala and Albert told me that they trust my judgment and therefore, my job as a consultant was to fuse their ideas together and the end result was a bright, chic and fun event.

The arrangements consisted of an eclectic array of flowers; from Roses, Orchids, Hydrangeas and Spider Mums. Each Table included 9 different floral arrangements accompanied by many floating candles. Each place setting was accented by an individual cymbidium orchid.
