18th Birthday Debut {02.13.2010}

I worked with my mom last weekend for one of her catering jobs (my mom owns a restaurant and catering business, Magic Wok). I provided the floral decor for Kasandra's 18th Birthday Party Debut, which took place at the Milpitas Community Center. I also got to help with the actual catering portion (setting up tables and some waiting) , which I don't get to do often.

It is traditional for young Filipina ladies turning 18 to have a debut party celebrating their coming of age-- very similar to the Mexican quinceanera. Many times the planning and preparations that go into having a debut party almost equal the amount of time that go into weddings. Kasandra's party was well planned and I could tell that all of her guests were having such a good time. Her parents and sister Jackie did an awesome job!

Happy Valentines Day

Love is in the air!

Thuy and Ellis {01.30.10}

Our good friends Ellis and Thuy were married this past Saturday at the San Jose City Hall Rotunda. They asked me to do their bridal party and ceremony flowers and I was delighted to participate in their wedding as a vendor and as a guest.

Thuy was so gorgeous as she walked down the stairs leading to the ceremony area where Ellis was waiting patiently, nervously, anxiously, and enamored as if falling in love all over again. During the ceremony the officiant read stories that they wrote about each other and I couldn't help but get teary eyed. Thuy and Ellis are so perfect for one another. I wish them both a life time full of LOVE! Congrats Thuy and Ellis.
