casual colonial I

recently, we had the honor of working with the incomparable Johnny Roxburgh from The Admirable Crichton for the prestigious Laureus World Sports Awards 2014 celebrations held at three different venues in Kuala Lumpur.  apart from having the opportunity to showcase our work to a prestigious pool of celebrities and sports talents from around the world, our team also won the praise and admiration of the man himself, Johnny Roxburgh, who complemented our angels for their absolutely gorgeous and professional work.  

our first collaboration with Mr. Roxburgh was at the Carcosa Seri Negara for a welcoming party prior to the main event.  Mr. Roxburgh wanted to showcase the radiant colors of tropical Malaysia amidst the romantic charms of the luxurious Carcosa Seri Negara.  so, our angels took to the task of arranging luscious deposits of orchids, heliconias and gingers in fuchsias, pinks, purples and oranges at strategic corners and surfaces to add much needed color and splendor to the pale walls of the colonial building.  generous sprinklings of pincushions and alliums were added for character and vitality.  

dirgahayu oh sultanku

‘twas another euphoric adventure for our team transforming the inner space of the Shangri-La KL grand ballroom from drab to dreamy. a member of the Perak royal family was celebrating his birthday and we were commissioned to create that majestic feel for the event. with the entire walls draped in black, all focus shifted to the center of the ballroom where we erected 3 sets of giant parasols regurgitating a profusion of grey and purple streamers onto the attending guests. the regurgitation was more than welcomed by the guests for at the ends of the streamers we attached glowing LED cubes and sparkling disco balls that were simply mesmerizing. the tables were arranged wickedly and decked with a wonderful array of our signature floral arrangements. calla lilies in graceful contortions were arranged loosely in clear cylinders, as were the delicate agapanthus and dainty mokaras. red roses were either compacted in fluffy posies or paired with brassicas and monsteras and plunged into tall elegant vases. showy yellow cymbidiums were scattered and floated on the dinner tables as well as squeezed amongst the other blooms. wherever gaps appeared we plugged them with downy hydrangeas. here are glimpses of the ballroom minutes before the start of the royal ball.

cool, calm and collected

sometimes you just want your arrangement to be in the background in silent splendor in order not to intrude on the somber occasion that's taking place. so, you might want to have these babies on your mantel.

hot & spicy

a client was inviting his friend who was from abroad for dinner and he commissioned us to create a floral ambience in his palatial abode that would reflect the bountiful warmth and colourful taste of our beloved country. so, we arranged for a floral feast that was graciously green, brilliantly bright and elegantly charming for our client. we started with the big arrangements having copious canopies of greenery made up of giant alocasia fans frilled with either tufts of bent pandanus and asplenium blades or monsteras. below these, we liberally sprinkled splashes of bright colors made up of mokara and james’ story orchids in orange and red, and hints of blue agapanthus, crimson anthuriums and purple cymbidiums. we next populated the setting with smaller arrangements in various configurations of blue agapanthus, purple mokaras, green, red and duo-toned anthuriums, and yellow cymbidiums. to add a touch of drama, we immersed vermilion cymbidiums in clear cylinders, scattered rosettes of echeverias on bare surfaces as well as upon palm-sized philondendron leaves. here’s a peek at our creation, all tropical, spicy and nice!

purple passion

It’s so divine when we have to deck an environment that’s already so lovely. This was the case when Lin commissioned our team to embellish her home in Cemerlang Heights, Gombak, for her engagement. Her spacious and tastefully decorated home set the right mood for the simple arrangements that we created for her. For the base color of purple, we used roses (of course!), agapanthus, lisianthus eustomas, statice and mokara orchids. All of which are gorgeous purples but each having its own interesting texture and feel. To break the purple reign, we added hot jerry pink roses, green hydrangeas and green button pompoms to the arrangements. And yes, we added ruscus and bear grass for the complementary foliage.
