Success Story from the 2015 World Floral Expo

-

We had the pleasure of creating floral branding and decor for a client at the 2015 World Floral Expo that took place at the Los Angeles Convention Center this year.
Our goal: to create a booth that made an impact at the expo.

We think we got it! Our client just updated their Facebook page with a cover shot of our job and raved on Facebook: "World Floral Expo booth, so beautiful!"

Thank you to our client for the compliment and the wonderful assignment!
We are sharing the details.

The Concept:

Working closely with the client, we decided to create a welcoming space by building a floral studio inside the hall, complete with furnishings and floral branding to set the booth apart from all the other vendors.
Director of Floral Design Kate Brack and Floral Designer Rebecca Motus conceptualized and created what our client and many visitors called the "best booth".

Also, visitors' reactions showed that this strategy worked!



Project Lead Floral Designer Rebecca Motus: "Originally, there were going to be four flower walls. Being the creative mind, I was oblivious to the amount of labor it would entail. Thankfully, the purchasing manager made me realize the logistical aspect of the project and we decided to do two walls. We had suggested to make the logo wall for them. The client loved the idea so the logo wall came into fruition. We decided to create the Mondrian inspired wall because of the interesting dimensions and depths. Creating these two walls took about 8000 stems and 40 hours of work!"

Rebecca recorded the process in time lapse videos.













"Kate Brack was our savior and hero --- down to the last hour, she was able to pull off the perfect furniture setting for the booth!"


















We are happy to share this table top floral the client selected as his Facebook cover! 







Five production meetings, lots of emails, tons of phone calls and text messages and many hours in the floral studio is what it took.

This client flies all his flowers straight into Los Angeles instead of shipping from South America to Florida and trucking across the country to California. The freshness degree of the product was very helpful in creating floral that lasted through the whole 3-day duration of the expo.



It's just too sad that we cannot mail you the beautiful scents we all enjoyed at the expo! Thank you to Kate and Rebecca for an outstanding success!

Wishing you a week in full bloom!

Janet.

Site Report from The Fabulous Forum in Inglewood

We recently had a Fabulous Tour of the Fabulous Forum, courtesy of our friend Jill Przelenski, Director, Special Events & Family Entertainment. In a nutshell: the re-invented Forum deserves the media hype it received. Eagles' Glenn Frey exclaimed: “The Forum is the best sounding large building anywhere in the world. Take my word for it, we’ve played them all.” It also offers exquisite event space possibilities that allow us to create a VIP Experience of any size! The legendary Forum Club serves as special entrance for private and corporate events. It's a VIP Experience from the first moment onward as this area has special parking privileges and street access.  Painting and maintenance crews were hard at work inside and outside of  the new hall that reopened in January 2014.  Jill Przelenski: "We don't allow any wear and tear. Paint, carpets, furnishings - everything gets lots of attention and is constantly updated." Forum Red, inspire

San Luis Obispo Museum of Art - wrapped in The Red Line by Doron Gazit. Since we last checked in with Doron Gazit, the artist and industrial designer has lined multiple locations in California with The Red Line and his art work is currently on exhibit at the San Luis Obispo Museum of Art as well as The Loft at Liz's in Los Angeles. He is being mentioned in one breath with Cristo! We look forward to working with Doron to wrap an environmentally themed event. We were happy to report on The Red Line at the Dead Sea in September 2015. In the 8 months since, Doron has installed his environmental awareness art project in several locations in drought ravaged California. As always The Red Line concept highlights the impact of Global Warming on the environment. In December of 2015, The Red Line snaked through the Pyramid Lake burn area, just North of Los Angeles. Doron Gazit: "After my Red Line installation in the sinkholes of the Dead Sea, I continued to draw the line

Our Floral Designer Rebecca Motus featured on ABC's The Bachelor on Valentine's Day

Love was on the air last night on ABC's 20th Anniversary Valentine's Day Special of The Bachelor; also covered by People Magazine. The floral decor was designed and created by none other than our floral designer Rebecca Fernandez Motus. We are really proud of Rebecca Motus' achievement: designing and creating all the florals for this primetime TV event! Rebecca: "I met the producers of the show through a friend who recommended me when they were looking for a designer to create the floral decor for this 20th anniversary extravaganza. It was a wonderful opportunity to show my work to millions of people. The special was filmed at the St. Regis Monarch Beach and as everything in television, it took many, many hours to produce this 2-hour special. I spent five days on set, building the floral decor. And those 5 nights were pretty much sleepless. Many days we worked until midnight and I had to get to the Downtown Flower Market by 3AM to get fresh flowers. However, des
