On Newsstands Now!

A few months ago, were excited to find out that a wedding we had done in September '07 was chosen to be a featured wedding in The Knot Magazine.

(previous season's cover)

It's on newsstands now - buy a magazine, or browse to page 60 (Charlize & William). You might recognize the wedding from our St. Regis website gallery.

Charlize definitely had a vision and an eye for detail (and no wonder - she's a professional photographer and photo editor for a fashion & lifestyle magazine) but she allowed us to do what we do as designers.

Our collaboration was not just fun but also valuable. We were definitely challenged with rigging the structure to hang capiz shells and crystals (I've never been on a 20ft ladder til that day). Traipsing to Dana Point in the wee hours of the morning meant careful planning and logistics. And when it was all over, we were able to sigh with relief that we helped celebrate their story with style. Go see for yourself! :)

As December is here and our wedding season coming to an end (for now), we finally have a chance to take a few moments to reflect on the year and think of ways to better ourselves as people and as a business (something we should do everyday). We're definitely getting our gears going as to what we'll do next year, how our website is (finally) going to be done, and how we're going to use flowers in a different light. We hope you stay tuned to see more of our projects! :)

*our arrangement for the day

Since we've had a some down time, we've also had the chance to get together with some truly talented vendors at a luncheon hosted by Picture Perfect Events at La Mill Coffee. We met Loyd from Red 5 Studios, an innovative wedding cinematographer. There were also a handful of amazing/fantastic/awesome/badass photographers, such as Steven Lam and his wife Carmen, Scott Robert Lim, Francine Yang, Victor Sizemore, and Ja Tecson. If i were to get married, I'd have a hard time picking between all of these photographers. Their work speaks for itself! On hand were also two creative letterpress designers, Mable from Lala Press and Tianyi from Tiselle. We have a secret adoration for letterpress (and i've gone link crazy).

Meeting people in our field as well as talking to creative minds always inspires us to work that much harder. It's a good feeling going into the next year!

Here's a random shot of my food at La Mill. Ja has much better pictures on his blog.


Because we're not the greatest at blogging, this is probably our last post for the year. We hope you have a great season celebrating life with your family! See you in 2009!
