Balconi Scene

I hope some of you had the opportunity to visit the Epic Expo in the new Vancouver Convention Center over the weekend. The show focuses on green and sustainable living. I was able to stroll through the show and sampled a variety of different eco friendly goods,  wines and beers.

One of our dear clients, one planet Catering, featured their products at the show and we were able to provide some floral to help decorate their booth. They have a great vision for “green” catering and their lunch box(reusable) is great for help saving environment.  Check them out… http://www.oneplanetcatering.com

I have included a few pictures of the booth with some floral

We had a great opportunity to decorate a beautiful home in West Vancouver for the holiday season just last week.  Our client wanted us to provide decorations that they need for a  welcoming Christmas holiday.  We had such a pleasure to working with this warm and kind client.  We were glad to hear that they are very happy with the outcome of this project.

Beautiful mantle arrangement with various Christmas greens, hurricane vases and soy candle inside.

9ft tall long lasting Noble Fir Christmas tree with red and gold ornaments. The noble fir produced an amazing fragrance to the whole living room.

Simple and elegant chandelier decoration with hanging christmas ornaments.

Romantic Mistletoe waits for unsuspecting guests to get caught under it by the entrance door.

Paperwhite plant arrangement in over sized cylinder vase. Imagine the beautiful white flowers growing everyday and producing a wonderful scent over the holidays.

Entrance arrangement decorated with natural wooden ornaments to give it an organic look and soy based candles sitting on river rocks in a hurricane vase.

Illuminated garland decoration for the stair case to give a magical feeling.

Last year, I attended the Table Decor and flower fair in Seoul, Korea. I wanted to share some photos that I took during the show. It was the third time for me to attend this show and I found it so interesting. It was such a good opportunity to see some of the latest trends on table decors and interior designs. I particularly liked the eco wall with green tropical plants and I am tempted to build a smaller version of it at my house one day. Hmm, I need to figure out how to water all of those plants before hand. Please check back next time for more photos while I was travelling in Singapore and Malaysia as well. I will post photos of beautiful orchids!!!
