    Highlight A Wedding Vendor – Hair Stylist

    Apr 01 2020

    I followed Simona Vigh on Instagram after someone mentioned her name to me. All I knew about her at the time was that she did amazing hair stylings and specialized with weddings. One of the techniques that she used back then and still does now is to weave fresh flowers into the brides’ hair. I loved the thought of combining the two elements, making the bride look graceful and one with the nature around her. I immediately wanted to see how my floral designs could be incorporated with her hairstyling skills in the Detroit area. Creating Magic at a Wedding-Style Photoshoot  Simona Vigh I later invited Simona to the barn wedding-style photoshoot in Clarkston back in the fall of 2018. This photoshoot was huge with over 25 vendors ...

    Highlight A Wedding Vendor – Floral Designer

    Jan 01 2020

    In the line of work I do, collaboration is important and networking is a must. I typically go to monthly meetings for networking, such as the Rising Tide Society meetings. It was there that I met Kelle. She opened up her studio, Flower Smith Studio, for the Livingston County group meeting. And guess what? She is a floral designer and does eco-friendly flower arrangements and large installations!  Friends to Styled Shoot Partner I met Kelle in late 2018 and our friendship has blossomed since then. I sometimes wonder if it’s because she’s a Capricorn like me (lol). We’re both pretty conservative people and we think alike. It’s fun bouncing ideas off of one another about custom flower arrangements and coming up with creative ...

    Highlight A Wedding Vendor – Photographer

    Oct 02 2019

    Introducing Ilze Lucero I met Ilze Lucero at our Tuesday Meet over a year and half ago but I didn’t have the chance to work with her until my barn wedding-styled shoot. She’s the one that introduced me to Leanna, the barn owner in Clarkston where we had the successful yet massive Greek influenced wedding styled photoshoot. About IlzeIlze has a background in graphic design and creates wedding invitations available on Minted, Redbubble, and Zazzle. Notably, she has a passion and love for fresh flowers. Some of her specialties include senior, baby, and family pictures, but weddings are where we come together. My Go-To PhotographerDuring our first wedding-styled photoshoot, she went above and beyond to make sure every vendor ...

    Highlight A Wedding Vendor – Makeup Artist

    Aug 21 2019

    Introducing Rossa Alcantara Rossa Alcantara was the makeup artist that a dress vendor found during a purple and green wedding-styled shoot we worked on. (read the blog post about this shoot) I didn’t know much about her but she was such a sweetheart to work with that I was immediately drawn in. Her personality was charming and refreshing, so I liked having her on the team even before we got to see what she can do with a brush. www.ilzelucerophotography.com Makeup That Makes You Stand Out Our second collaboration together was the Alpaca styled shoot which she did amazing hair and makeup for. The setting for the wedding was outdoors, and Rossa’s style shone through. The dark lips and curly hair of the bride highlighted the ...

    Highlight A Wedding Vendor – Cake

    Jul 15 2018

    I love being a wedding professional! Not only do I get to create beautiful arrangements for blushing brides, but I also get to meet other amazing wedding professionals. Many of us go on to create exciting designs together, which is a truly rewarding experience. The Dulce Experience During a styled shoot some time ago, I met Ashley, who is the owner and phenomenal cake artist at The Dulce Experience. The first time I met Ashley she let me know up front that she's a little wild and crazy with some of her ideas. I thought to myself, wonderful! She's very straightforward and always willing to help, which is what I love about her. I'm glad that we were able to work together at the styled shoot because later on, we worked together on an ...

Love receiving photos from the photographers as been a florist I don't usually see the "full" photos from the wedding. From first look, to ceremony then reception... These gave me the whole picture as to how the wedding went and I just love it. 🥰⁠

    How about an introduction Thursday?? 🤣 Because How about an introduction Thursday?? 🤣 Because I love to share!! 🤷⁠
⁠
I'm Ching, and most of time I don't remember my age because I stopped counting after 29 so I can always be 29. 😂😂😂⁠
⁠
Often time I live in my own la-la land and day dreaming with all the crazy ideas and thoughts. ⁠
⁠
Infertility was my biggest struggle and now I'm blessed with a beautiful girl and a handsome boy. ⁠
⁠
I was laughed at school because of my flat nose and was asked if my parents had "dropped" me. 🤷 ⁠
⁠
I grew up with 6+ birds, 2 bunnies, 2 fish, 1 turtle, 3+ hamsters, 1 dog and many many small creatures and bugs. Now I'm a proud cat owner. ⁠
⁠
Tell me about yourself. Do we have any similarities? Differences?⁠

    I've been trying to describe my art style lately.. I've been trying to describe my art style lately...⁠
I've been told I'm traditional which I don't agree 100%. ⁠
Perhaps I'm traditional with modern twist?? 🤣🤣⁠
I love classic and elegant art but not in the traditional "box" form. Does that make sense?? ⁠
