flowers in the forest

a friend, and big fan of ours, had attended a mexican-themed wedding reception that we did almost 3 years ago and he was curious to know why we did not feature that event in our blog. we were dumbfounded. in our haste to gratify our current demands, we have forgotten to look back to our past for inspirations, for old times' sake. so, thank you Dr. Kamarul for helping us to be mindful of our past and remind us to share what needs to be shared. here's that wedding reception we did that july in 2009:

it rained again on a wedding reception we did at the Mandarin Oriental last Sunday. but this time it was all ribbons in yarns of nylon and organza, tipped with glorious wisterias and chiffon orchids. we made sure that every attending guest would be rained on by having the splendid shower of ribbons at the main entrance. of course the newlyweds and the VIPs had to endure their own dazzling downpours throughout the entire night because we created even more splendid sprinkles where they sat. working with fellow floraphiles from Singapore, we added a whimsical flair to the tables with fanciful topiaries of roses, eustomas, hydrangeas and eucalyptus that we alternated with stands of salix garnished with tulips, roses, matthiolas and hydrangeas. have a look:

actually, the bunga pahar we refered to earlier are meant for a baby shower that will be held over this weekend. apart from the ferrero rochers, there are lollipops in the arrangements as well. sweets for your sweets...sugar for your honey!
