silk road

the damp weather last Friday didn't bother us one bit when we arrived at the swank dwelling of a client in Duta Nusantara. the flowers loved it we knew. our client was hosting a Raya do and we were on site to liven it up with colors and textures befitting our client's spicy color palette. but, alas, the cozy setting of the guest tables in the car port was rather unexpected as it did not accommodate the size of our glass islands where we'd intended to populate with loose floral gatherings. so, we shoved the glass islands aside and rearranged our flowers accordingly. and everything looked stunning still.

inside the lovely dwelling, we melded our flowers into the different chosen surfaces that were exquisitely draped in rich Oriental colors and patterns. we kept our arrangements low and compact on the coffee and dining tables but let the flowers reach up and out from above the piano and cabinet. before we left, we lit all the accompanying block candles but saved the tea lights for the hostess to light just minutes before her evening started.

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.

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!
