Inspired Wednesday

As we are approaching the middle of January and going to February, there is another big day coming up that I think a lot of couples need to be prepared especially for the guys! If you are still shopping for gifts or flower bouquets, we have some tips for you when choosing the right number of flowers inside the bouquet and make it meaningful. (Of course, I think it is important for those to know if you are thinking of proposing on this special day!) Take a look at the list below to see different number of flower(s) you give would mean.
Number of Flower(s) and Meaning
1 - Love at the first sight. The single rose, whatever its color, depicts utmost devotion to a single person. "All my deepest affections are concentrated in you"

2 - Mutual feelings, especially if they are in red color. Speak of two people who are deeply in love and together form their own happy little world

3 - Stand for the three words in "I Love You"

5 - I love you very much

6 - I love you, I miss you. Speak of the need - to be loved and cherished

7 - I'm infatuated with you

9 - Long lasting love

10 - Perfect lover

11 - I am your admirer

12 - Heart to heart

13 - Forever friends. Also indicate that there is a secret admirer waiting to be discovered

15 - I'm really sorry

20 - Love you forever

21 - I love you most

22 - Love each other

24 - You're always on my mind. Stand for the twenty-four hours of the day, and say that the loved one is thought of during every hour of the day.

36 - Belongs to you

40 - My love is genuine

44 - Pledge a constant and an unchanging love.

50 - Signify a love that has ripened well, and has never been regretted.

99 - Love you till I die

100 - I'm totally devoted to you. Signify a happy union of two loving souls till death or till a hundred years

101 - Would you marry me?

111 - Long lasting love

365 - Love you every day

999 - Everlasting love

1001 - Never ending love

Wow, when it gets to 1001, it's a lot of flowers but interesting right? So guys, make sure you order the right number of flowers! ;-)

Inspired Wednesday

To continue with our Wednesday blog post series, with the New Year, we are going to do Inspired Wednesday to fresh up in the middle of the week and look at something inspired, colorful, fun, and happy...you name it.

And this week, we would like to share some party ideas for the New Year! Yes... I know we past all the holidays and celebration time, BUT, we can keep the spirit and plan for the next one, right? =)

A damask themed party will always be a classic. No matter the occasion, whether it’s to ring in the New Year, celebrate a wedding or even the coming of a new baby, the damask theme is so versatile. It can be played up so elegantly; yet can also be very playful when you throw in a little bit of color.

A fun New Year’s Eve dessert table – the purple really pops against the black and white and adds a lot of flair and fun to this New Year’s celebration.


Believe it or not but damask can take you anywhere…even to this fun, rockstar wedding.
I guess this is what it real call "Party like a Rock Star"!

Stay Tuned for more inspired ideas for next week.

Every time when I see my clients' wedding video, it brings back all the good memories and all the happy moments from during the wedding planning, as well on their wedding day. Today, I would like to share with you all, my beloved and special client from last month. They are not only my client. Sarah (the bride) is also my friend back from high school. It is my honored to be the wedding consultant for my friend and also seeing them starting a happy journey in their life.

Congratulations once again to Mr. and Mrs. Michael and Sarah Yu!

It wasn't a sunny, bright weather on the wedding day; however, the rain actually made it more romantic and intimate for their special celebration with their beloved family and friends. Some people may think plan B wouldn't be the most perfect plan, but it proved in this case, with a well plan and team effort, the imperfect can be perfect. =)

Enjoy the video~

A Touching Wedding - Dalena + Norman

This is one of our favorite weddings this year and to be part of Dalena and Norman's special day. I remembered when I first met Dalena, it was beginning of this year in Hong Kong when I was visiting my family. At our consultation, we chatted about 3 hours with not only wedding but everything in life. Since then we became friends. We share wedding ideas and a lot more throughout the journey of the planning process. Most of the time we chatted over LONG emails just to share all the fun ideas and everything that happened around them nights and days. They both grew up here in the Bay Area, but not located in Hong Kong. Since most of their family and friends are here in the Bay Area, it didn't take them a long time to decide for the wedding location whether to do it in Hong Kong or here. What so special about this wedding to me is that I know Dalena and Norman work so hard to put this wedding together, oversea. A celebrate between the two of them, beloved family, and friends. Nothing over done, no big grand ballroom with lots of lighting and decoration. But everything is well planned from dresses to flowers, location and decoration that gave all guests a warm welcome feeling, simple and clean style just like the personalities of the two.

All the best to my beloved couple with the new journey and new living environment.
