Don's 70th Birthday Party

A couple months ago my friend Julie asked me to help her with her uncle's surprise 70th birthday party. Julie wanted to do most of the planning herself and asked me to do all the floral centerpieces. The concept for the centerpieces was simple and modern and I was so excited to help her do that! To add to the tablescape, Julie designed these fun labels with golfing and fishing in black and bright neon green since those were her uncle's two favorite hobbies. The party was held at the Braemar Country Club and needless to say the food and setting was just perfect for her uncle since he's a big fan of golf. Julie's aunt was so sweet and invited me to stay as a guest too! See the pics below!

Enjoy!

Madison Bleu Girls Night Out Event

Last week I had a great time at Madison Bleu's Girls Night Out shopping event. I did the event planning and floral arrangements and my friend chef Anahita made all the delicious food for everyone to enjoy. The guests were treated to some delicious hors d'oeuvres while they were shopping and the live DJ was the perfect addition to the night. This was Madison Bleu's first holiday event and I hope they will have more events like this more often :)

See below for some pictures taken by yours truly :)

Enjoy!

I had a blast this weekend with Bony and Ryan's wedding. I first met Bony through my friends Hieu and Loan almost 4 years ago.

Helena's House Warming Party

This past week was a super busy one for me. Not only was I planning a wedding on Saturday, my friend Helena asked me to do some flowers for her housewarming party. I was bummed I couldn't attend since it was the same day as the wedding I was planning in San Diego. I had to do the flowers really quick Friday morning and head down to San Diego for the wedding rehearsal too so it has been nonstop for me.

Helena wanted something very vibrant so I was really excited to do them in fall colors! Check out the pics!
