America's Cup 2013

Wow, it's been so long since I last blogged!  But I have an exciting post for today!  We were so honored to be part of last year's America's Cup by providing flowers for their event spaces.  This year, we are working with them again to provide flowers for the new America's Cup Hospitality Building, now located at Pier 27 of the San Francisco Embarcadero.

The LV Cup just finished its recent round of races last week.  Now we are looking forward to the America's Cup Finals which will start on September 7th, 2013.  Here are some pictures of arrangements we recently did for America's Cup Club Park Hospitality Spaces to share with you all.

By the way, Jason Mraz is coming to the Bay Area to have a concert at the America's Cup Pavilion on September 1st, 2013!  It's going to be an exciting one, can't wait!

Bouquets to Art 2012

I know this is a late post about Bouquets to Art because it already started for a week.  Tomorrow will be the last day to view all the beautiful floral art exhibition at deYoung Museum in San Francisco.  Actually I wasn't planning on writing this post because I don't feel comfortable tooting my own horns.  Also I've been so busy lately with wedding work and planning my kids summer schedule (yes, I am a full time working mom!). 

But I was with a couple of my vendor friends today, and Beverly from Especially Yours Chair Covers, one of my best friends in the industry, highly encouraged me to blog about it.  And later this evening when I went back to the museum to refresh my arrangement to get ready for tomorrow's Bouquets to Art "Finale", I heard a lot of compliments from viewers and many told me that this is one of their favorites.  All these kind words highly encouraged me.  So, here it is, below is my floral piece, an inspiraton of the Tea & Coffee Service by August Tiessenlinck.  Hope you all like it.  Enjoy a full platters of floral desserts!

Valentine's Day Elopement

Happy Valentine's Day! As I spent most of my day delivering flowers all over the city, I am exausted. But what a sweet surprise to find that a recent styled shoot I partnered with Frances Liu from Charmed Events Group got published on Green Wedding Shoes Blog today, on Valentine's Day!

Below are some images from the photo shoot to share with you all. It was a very fun day spent at Nimitz Mansion on Treasure Island (What a hidden gem!). Photographer Gladys Jem captured the most romantic moments from, what it is called - A Valentine's Day Elopement. Yes, Valentine's Day, the love day, what a perfect day to elope!!

Enjoy.

2012 Wedding Faire & Symposium

Happy New Year to you all! I started my new year with a wonderful project being the featured designer for Preston Bailey's book signing at the 2012 Wedding Faire & Symposium at the Santa Clara Convention Center, which goes from 1/6-1/8.

Preston Bailey is an extremely successful celebrity event & wedding designer whose specialized in transforming spaces into spectular party scenes that's beyond imagination. He is one of my most admired American event designers. So you can imagine how excited I felt when I was asked to design an arrangement for his book signing. I chose to re-create one of his most famous signature art piece as my salute to the "flower god" of my heart - the floral peacock.

Below is my interpretation of the floral peacock. I had much fun making it, hope you all like it.
