    Featured Wedding: Kali & Jordan

    Jan 15 2019

    Real Wedding: Kali & Jordan

    Shed 3 Eastern Market – Detroit, Michigan | Photographer – Lindsey Fender Photography

    As I think back to October, I reminiscence on Kali and Jordan’s beautiful wedding. Kali found me through Wedding Wire and we started working together on the wedding of her dreams. The whole planning process was quick, and of course, turned out magnificent!

    Ditching The Traditional

    The wedding took place in Eastern Market, a gorgeous little district in Detroit, Michigan. I have to admit that before this wedding I’d never worked in Eastern Market, but there’s a first time for everything, and I was very excited at the chance to explore a new venue. 

    In addition, Kali had one special request for her bouquet. She wanted a free style, ditching the traditional round hand-tie or cascade bouquet. I was happy to oblige, and very excited with the opportunity to take the reigns and create the art for the rest of the details. It’s always fun when the brides trust you enough to let you take the creative direction! I love surprising brides, and was very excited to be able to do this for Kali.

    An Amazing Experience 

    The color theme for the wedding was red and black, a timeless choice really. The reception linen was black and we used red flowers to make the colors pop. Even Kali’s bridesmaids wore black and red. As I mentioned before, I’d never worked in Eastern Market, so it was fun to set up there for the first time. What I loved most about this choice in venue was that the space was very open and inviting. Also, couples can have their ceremony and reception in the same place, so this saves guests the hassle of driving from one place to another, as well as having to deal with parking and walking!

    Of course, the wedding was a beautiful success. My best wishes to Kali and Jordan! Hopefully this isn’t the last time I come to this venue, as it was truly a gorgeous space! Be sure to check out the photos to see for yourself.

    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?? ⁠

    Blue is my all time favor regardless the shade. I Blue is my all time favor regardless the shade. I always have a thing for blue color, it's just beautiful. However in Floral Design, finding blue flower to work with has always been a challenge for me. ⁠
⁠
For this cover shoot, instead adding blue flower like I always do, I used troll grass and pampas grass for different element and texture. Honestly I'm pretty happy with the result presenting these 3 primary colors. What do you all think? Yes? Nah? 😉⁠

    Hey all, happy Friday and it's been awhile since I Hey all, happy Friday and it's been awhile since I've introduce myself. With new year, and many new faces here, a new introduction is definitely needed. ⁠
⁠
I'm Ching, the one-woman show behind this creative business. A couple of fun facts about me. ⁠
⁠
* If I'm not on this creative path today, I would most likely be a social worker or a family counselor. Because I'm always observing and analyzing. 🤣🤣🤣 I love to study human behaviors. ⁠
⁠
* If it's up to my family I would be taking over a restaurant business in Saline, Michigan. ⁠
⁠
* My ideal career during childhood, nurse. Because I LOVED the title "Angle in white". 😂⁠
⁠
What would you be doing if you're not on the current career path??⁠
