Wedding: Sherril & Anand, in a Garden by the Sea

A wedding that was 8 months of planning and full of delightful details. Sherril loved the idea of using succulents in the wedding and naturally that became our starting point. Next up came a beautiful colour palette that ranged from rich plum to jadeite green, which she shared with all attending the wedding and in true form guests arrived wearing apparels inspired by the colour theme! Next we added all the shabby, chic, rustic details and voila the pieces fell into place.

Behind the scenes at Nook Flowers: The chiller packed to the hilt with with rustic compositions of eustomas, mums, hydrangeas and baby's breath.

Love how the jewel toned succulents in each bouquet pops out to announce its presence!

Each bouquet was just slightly different from the other - specially made for the lovely lady carrying it.

The bride and her bridesmaids. This photo perfectly describes the joy and fun that surrounded this wedding.

Fairy lights everywhere added a magical ambiance.

Single cymbidium orchid sits pretty on the place setting.

All the theme colours of the wedding gloriously made up this sculptural wishing tree.

A river of colour poured down from the wishing tree onto the table.

Submerged orchids dotted with flickering light from floating candles were placed everywhere in the cocktail area preceding the ballroom.

Blooming at Mud: The Story of Kuala Lumpur

It took a couple of weeks after the show opened but we finally had a break in our schedule and promptly took the opportunity to watch MUD: OUR STORY OF KUALA LUMPUR from start to finish and what a visual treat it was. We did catch bits and bob during installation stages and it looked very promising but watching the actual show in itself from start to finish will leave you wanting more. If you haven't caught it yet, please do go and get swept up in this heartwarming production which is set against historical events of early Kuala Lumpur. You can get details on show times and ticketing at MudKL.

On a special note, I am proud to add that when you step into the grand dame that is the Panggung Bandaraya, the towering floral displays in the foyer were created by Nook Flowers - we'd like to say a huge thank you to Puan Sri Tiara Jacquelina, the Executive Producer of MUD Kuala Lumpur, for the free hand and letting our Principal Florista design, compose and create ' some floral magic' (as Puan Sri Tiara says).

While we specialise in fresh flowers, for this display, we used the highest quality selection of flowers we could find (as the displays are permanent and will be used for the duration of the show). The design in itself with it's muted shades of white, ivory, green and gold accents, has a lush, throwback feel which is fitting for the historical setting in which these large urns have been placed.

Chris & Magdalen: A tale of love and pink peonies

Chris and Magdalen tied the knot at St. Ignatius Church in Kelana Jaya last December (yes ... it sure did take us a while to post this). Here are photos of their wedding in church followed by a reception at the Concorde Hotel Kuala Lumpur.

Instead of a traditional basket, we made a sweet little cone filled with rose petals for this wee flower child.

How precious is this sight?

A photo that makes your heart sigh. Magdalen carries this delicate bouquet of peonies, alstromeria, eustomas and roses. For a fun and flirty twist, candy cane striped ribbon was used on the handle.
