Decorating miniature weddings cars are actually much more complicated than their actual-sized counterparts. It took me nearly seven hours to complete decorating everyone one of them, including making the miniature roses.
Here is a bridal bouquet with pretty earthy hues of green dendrobiums and creamy champagne roses for a pre-wedding photo-shoot session. I always love to pair some dendrobium orchids with flowers of softer look such as roses, because it brings out an edgy touch to the overall feel of the bouquet. Don’t you think that the green dendrobium orchids in the bouquet resemble so much like butterflies?
Sometimes, I have clients who requested for artificial butterflies in their bridal bouquet and wedding centerpieces to complement their garden or fairy theme. You know, those butterflies made of wires, nylons, and tons of glitters. As I have always believed in using natural ingredients in floral designing, I usually prefer to substitute these artificial butterflies with orchids because it’s more organic and natural. Moreover, it is more cost-effective to use natural substitutes than artificial factory-made ones.
My best friends are tying the knot today! A sweet bouquet for the bride filled with luscious imported fresh cream roses accented with pink eustomas. I called it ‘My Strawberry Parfait’ because it looks so edible and soooo deliciously sweet!
My Strawberry Parfait
Congratulations to the lovely couple, Justin and Gracie!
This year also mark my 10th year of friendship with the couple! Time flies but I sure hope we all stay happy and healthy forever. =)
Cheers and lots of hugs to the newly wed!
On another note, thank god the bad haze had toned down a little bit. The past two weeks was dreadful! Have a great day y’all!
This fabulous cake was one of the main attractions at the fairytale wedding of the two lovebirds, Tony Parker and Eva Longoria, in Paris last year. Created by celebrity cake artisan Sam Godfrey of Perfect Endings in Napa, California, who also made Oprah’s 50th birthday cake, over 1200 sugar-dough handcrafted red roses adorned this edible work of art. Apart from the insanely gorgeous roses, the cake itself was a vanilla-bean pound cake filled with crushed organic raspberry preserves and white buttercream.
This five-tier wedding cake in bold monochromatic red color is softened by its quilted fondant covering and the addition of cascading bows, made of colored white-chocolate fondant. However, pretty cake does not come cheap. This cake reportedly costs the couple a whopping US$40,000, since it was flown with an escort from Los Angeles to Paris – first class!

This one is for the orchid lovers out there! Hand-crafted sugar-dough white orchids cascading against a three tier pale cantaloupe-colored cake. White dots of royal icing and the hexagonal shape of the cake convey a fresh and different tone from the usual round wedding cake. You can always opt for fresh dendrobium orchids instead of the sugar flowers for a more tropical vibe. Alternatively, you can also go for cymbidium or phalaenopsis orchids if your wedding theme and setting is going to be a more intimate and classy affair.

The fourth floral wedding cakes in this series are these graphically delicious cakes. If your budget permits, try a “display of multiples instead of a normal, single colossal cake”. Varied sizes of anemones on the cakes resulted in a combination of a modern and Victorian twist in a very subtle way. All stamens were individually sculpted and were hand-placed inside the sugar-dough anemones to create a more realistic look to the flowers. You may also substitute the anemones with your favorite flowers to match your bridal bouquet. I envisioned these cakes to appear in a very stylish Victorian-themed wedding!

For a long time, wedding has always been associated with white. Nothing speaks more than a bride donning her beautiful white wedding dress walking down the aisle holding a bouquet of white flowers. So, if you have always been dreaming of having a classic white wedding, this two tier rolled fondant with sugar-dough stripes and a bouquet of sugar-dough lily-of-the-valley spray will be the perfect cake for your big day!

This lovely hand-crafted sugar dough violets delicately placed on a four-tier chocolate rolled fondant is the second wedding cake in the series. Flowers with every shades of purple, notably a mixture of tulips, eustomas, dahlias, and freesias are a great choice to complement the bold colors of the cake.

Early this month, I attended my close friend’s wedding dinner at the luxurious Ritz Carlton, Kuala Lumpur. The theme of the evening was purple with a subtle hint of creamy white.
The wedding table centerpieces were elegantly arranged with a mixture mainly consisted of purple hydrangeas, purple eustomas, and white roses with green foliages. Sweet lavender rose petals were scattered loosely, surrounding the centerpieces to create a dreamy, fairy-tale like ambience.
The overall design of the centerpieces and the additional usage of tea light candles complemented well with the entire wedding theme and were all very well executed.
Congratulations to the lovely couple, Esstte and Ivan!
