The Ikebana Association invited me to their annual Christmas Lunch, which was held today at the Grand Copthorne Waterfront's ballroom. I arrived late and the fashion and flower show was already well underway. It was quite a theatrical affair with many a socialite all garbed with flowers and leaves and playing out a fantasy theme. THe florists who helped them stage the whole show and created the elborate botanical constructions was Harijanto Setiawan of Boenga Florists, who also did the floral arrangements for the 25th Anversary Tatler Ball in October. He's very talented and does great work - check out www.boenga.net.
