Today, buffet again with my inlaws & family @ Grand Mercure Roxy Hotel.
This year, the bouquets we gave to our mothers were kind of special as I made them. Of course, with lots of help from hubby :) Initially we thought of getting the Cash&Carry at Goodwood (Far East Flora) which advertised to be very reasonably priced (@$15) but the bouquets were pathetically small! The bigger ones just too pricey!
And I really appreciate my honey for giving me free reign in creating my own bouquets though I've never done it before. I knew he's worried but didn't want to dampen my mood of wanting to get hands on all of a sudden. He's just concerned that I would be very disappointed & upset if it's not a satisfactory job done & also by then, we've no where to get proper bouquets. I must say it's not easy to deal with such a wifey who comes up with funny ideas every now & then, haha. And yes, he's always so supportive.
Just got our stock & all materials needed. They're heavy!
Where else to get our flowers but Far East Flora?

My work! Tis for mum as she loves lilies.
How about this? For my MIL. I assume she likes sunflowers as she's quite a lot of sunflower decors at home.
We'd have paid more than triple of what we spent if we were to get such a big one (10 - 12 stalks in each bouquet) especially on this special occasion. Everyone's amazed that I did them by myself (& help from hubby.. without his, I'd be handicapped!). Vince's family already complimented it's a pretty bouquet before knowing I DIYed it :D
It's a new found interest for me... just like how much I like wrapping nice & fanciful presents (if you've seen before). June even said I should consider starting some business for Valentine's Day. Hee. After this round of experience, I actually don't mind doing it on some weekends to have more practices, provided that I'm given the opportunity. And mine'll definitely be lower than the market price. So, any orders? ;)

you'll have some orders coming your way from not me but ahem, my 'better' half. *nudges him on the side*
Might I comment that those flowers were really wrapped very nicely!
I like dabbling in floral arrangements myself but has only done vase arrangements to date -- we could go far east flora together! :D

Work wise, I believe L's busy period just ended since the kids just finished their exams. Its a totally different story for me.
