Photogaphy : A Cabbage Story

I love having real flowers as decoration around the house. It just brings the house or area to life. I used to be able to buy real flowers every weekend when I was in Melbourne. In KL however, I find it really hard to get fresh flowers, especially in the area that I live in.

Today,

Gateauxlicious

' big boss, 

Asma'

, brought me to a florist wholesaler. Unfortunately due to the festive season, most of the flowers were gone! I had to settle with the flowers above (not that I'm complaining!). While looking for flowers, I stumbled upon this cabbage looking flower. The colour and the look of it is so unique, I decided to just get it. The cabbage looking flower is actually called Brassica. It looks like a mixture of cabbage and rose. I love the combination of green and purple together, it's just too pretty. Hydrangeas are one of my favourite flowers, I'm so happy I was able to get a decent bunch and it's in my favourite colour purple as well! The carnations were a last minute decision, I thought the vibrant red colour would go really well with my turquoise vase. When I went back home, I quickly arranged the flowers so I can capture it during sunset. It was just so magical.

Wish I have the luxury to buy fresh flowers everyday.

Cheryl & Jack's Engagement Party

Date: 10th March 2013

Venue: Cafe Vue, Bulleen, Victoria

Two days ago, a very good friend of mine, Cheryl had her engagement party at Cafe Vue in Melbourne. Needless to say, the decoration was amazing and it was done solely by Cheryl herself. So glad I was able to make it for her engagement and have the opportunity to take pretty pictures of her decoration. All the props you see in the above photos are all hers, including ALL the bottles. 

She handmade each and every single bottle for the flowers in mint green and pastel pink hues. Yup, every single one of them. I've to applaud her for her dedication and preparation in making that day so, so beautiful. She even custom made those rock candies, cake pops and fortune cookies for her guests to take home. Also, each guest gets to take home those fresh flowers with them! I was so happy and got a little bit greedy and took the bottles home with me too. Hehe, sorry Cheryl.

What do you think of the decoration?

Pretty, ain't it?

Merry Christmas!

Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and an awesome New Year ahead!

My Christmas has been great just staying home with the family, eating lots of good food and watching Christmas movies. 

Hope yours is just as good, if not better!

Sharing some of my Christmas-y pictures and some sent to me by friends :) 

How rad is the decor at Cartier London? 

Ending this post with a picture I took with Marissa and one of the Jackson 5 brothers, Jermaine Jackson! I was a little bit star struck when I first spotted him while having lunch at BSC! 

I mean he's the closest thing to Michael Jackson ok! :)

Actually Rusty's picture will be the end of this post. I just had to share this picture I captured of him. He was falling asleep while looking at me wrap my Christmas presents.
