Our design for a gala dinner for 1,600 guests!
Every holiday season we have the pleasure of designing and installing decor to warm some of the the top hotels and businesses all over Los Angeles!
A bit of the ceiling treatment on our design project in England. We custom ordered the fabric and shipped it across the pond to create this effect for a football field-sized tent! 🇬🇧
Loving this combo we did for a dinner party in the UK. Currently dreaming up looks for our upcoming design project across the pond!
Every Flower Has A Face
Many years ago I had the distinct pleasure of working with an inspired award winning Japanese designer. I had done a flower arrangement that I was not happy with. He could see this and noted to me in his fabulous polite Japanese manner, "Their faces are all confused." I had NO IDEA what he was talking about! However, that one comment opened a door to an entirely new view of floral design, the art of Japanese floral design and the ability to use each flower to its best "face."
Yes, every flower has a "face" and each flower and piece of greenery that you put into a vase has a totally different personality from stem to bud. Just as a fashion photographer finds the best angle to bring out the true beauty of the face of a model - you can, by how you place your flowers in a vase, bring out their unique beauty.
Here is a fun drill to do:
Pick up a flower and look at it, really look at it.
Hold it by the stem and turn it around in your hand and look at the flower.
Which way would you "face" it to bring out its best personality? You will find it has a "back" and a "front" and then there is the exact turn of the stem when it just says "look at me and how fantastically beautiful I am". This is it's "face."
Then, to the best of your ability, put it into a vase with its "best face forward." If you do this with each flower and piece of greenery you will find your flower arrangements begin to sing and talk.
I would love to hear your responses to this little drill.
Enjoy!
