Magazine Photoshoot

Yesterday, I was helping out with a photoshoot for a magazine called Best Flower Arrangement. The Summer edition of the Magazine features Dutch Floral Design. There was so much I didn't know about what goes into a photoshoot. It took 6 hours to get 3 pictures. lol 

Talk Show and Demonstration at Takashimaya

Back in March, my designer had a talk show and demonstration at Takashimaya. It was a great experience and I had a lot of fun. I was also able to create an arrangement for the event. There was a lot to learn from my designer on how to teach people. There's still a lot I need to learn, but I'm thankful that I'm getting there.

Flower Show at Takashimaya

In March, there was a Flower Show at Takashimaya. There were wonderful array of flowers at the show including a display by Shane Connolly. In case you didn't know, Shane Connolly is the designer who was appointed to do William and Kate's Royal Wedding. I had the privilege of meeting with him briefly after his demonstration. He was a really nice man, very polite and down to earth. It was nice to understand his aesthetics and his approach to design.

Bouquet with Hellebores

More Hellebores

三月下旬に高島屋でフラワーショーが行われました。すばらしい花がディスプレイされててとてもキレイでした。ショーの中ではロイヤルウエディングを手がけたデザイナーの見事なディスプレもありました。彼のデモンストレーション後に会うことができました。とても優しく良い人でした。彼の美学やデザインに対してのアプローチも理解できて良い経験でした。

Daffodils for my b-day

A friend of mine gave me 40 stems of daffodils for my b-day. The fragrance was AMAZING. It literally perfumed my whole apartment. It was such a thoughtful gift. Daffodils aren't my favorite flowers, but it's up there with my favorites :) They're such  a wonderful flower and they always make me smile. If you wanna know more about daffodils, you check it out on my "Flower of the Week".

友達が誕生日に４０本のスイセンをプレゼントしてくれました。スイセンの香りってすごいですね！部屋中がスイセンの良い香りで充満してましたｗ　春の球根花って笑顔を誘ってくれますよね！最高！

Bordeaux Bouquet

This is a bouquet I made recently. I love the using hues red and deep reds in an arrangement, Bordeaux :) Red is so elegant and lush. I used my favorite tulips in this arrangement, the parrot tulip "Rococo"isn't it amazing?? Love parrot tulips. 

これは最近僕が作ったブーケです。　レッド、ダークレッドをアレンジメントに使うのは大好きです。レッドって本当にエレガントでラッシュですよね：）　このブーケには僕の大好きなパーロット咲きのチューリップを使いました。これは、パーロット咲きのロココという種類です、すばらしいっす！
