fashionably green

we felt much privileged and honored being chosen to decorate the serenely magnificent interiors of the Seri Negara for the premiere of an up-and-coming fashion brand from the middle east.  inspired by pictorials of models posing in the brand's exquisitely tailored abayas amidst a verdant garden scape, we created a lush green backdrop for the epicenter of the fashion show in the lobby of the Seri Negara.  elsewhere, in the corridors and the tea room, we installed more austere decorations which are nonetheless dramatic.  have a look..

enchanting, we were told.  indeed.  if only we could populate the setup with actual denizens of a true rainforest.  but lest we ruin the real intent of this reception dinner, suffice it to scatter the treetops with incandescent lights in place of fireflies, bird silhouette lamps for live perching birds, the recorded calls and songs of tree frogs and crickets for the real sounds.   

but the bride was so enamored with the overall look and feel of the decor that she canceled her booking of an afterparty scheduled at another venue, requested the musicians to setup their instruments right beneath the tree canopies and invited her crepuscular friends to celebrate her big day amidst all the enchantments till the wee hours of morning.  of course that meant more to us than any mention of gratitude.

flora resort spring/summer 2014

for this wedding reception at the Mandarin Oriental last friday, our dear client wished to engage her arriving guests to a leisurely time at the foyer before continuing into the ballroom for the main event.  the client's fancy for mid-century chicness prompted us to transform the newly refurbished foyer into a luxe lounge replete with glorious flower gatherings.

our angels had a marvelous time transforming the grand ballroom of the Shangri-La hotel from regular to ravishing for this wedding reception.  the look was a radical departure from that of the relatively sedate solemnization ceremony the day before.  but it reflected the nature of our client who relishes adventure nonetheless.  the pelamin was an eclectic marriage of martha stewart's shabby chicness and lady gaga's gothic elegance with tendrils of spanish moss, amaranthus, dendrobiums and crystals raining onto a garden of bright gatherings upon a velvet canvas.  similarly, the dining tables were adorned with elegant orchids, tulips and lilies juxtaposed with succulents and lotus pods set upon moss-covered branches and undulating lianas.  see for yourselves...
