1st Time Wedding Flowers!

My friend, Haemin, commissioned me to do ALL her flowers for this past August at her Los Angeles wedding. You may think.. hey.. no big deal. But, being that this was my very first time ordering and arranging flowers, it was a HUGE deal. I had no idea what I was getting myself into!

Needless to say, the flowers were a big success, and most importantly, Haemin was happy about them to the point of tears (which, I guess, doesn't say much since brides cry a lot, as you'll see in my next post). I have to give a gimongoid shout-out to Caroline Nguyen, without whom none of this would have been possible. She's the flower guru who gave me all her wisdom, ideas, and time from her own past experiences to help me get going and get through with this huge project. You're the BEST Caroline!

This is my AMAZING floral team who worked tirelessly day and night in order to see this thing through. These girls made the experience so enjoyable! I was so lucky to have some crafty hands to help me out as well as persevering spirits that did all they could to keep the energy level up! Sue, Jiun, Angela, Carol, Emily.. I'm forever grateful to you. (Oh, gotta give a shout-out to Monica too, who helped me with pre-prep! She designed the gorgeous invitations!)
