四季花嫁 . 靈感流轉

Decorating is simple when Mother Nature is your guide, so let the natural colors of the season be your inspiration. Just make sure that the wedding colors you choose complement the blooms and foliage that are naturally available during that time of year.


Spring Garden: 春日


Whether soft and subdued or bright and punchy, spring gives you a multitude of color choices to get creative with.

- Combine a wide variety of blush shades like soft pinks, apple green, ivory.
- Green and white are an elegant accompaniment to a garden setting.
- Though an obvious choice, green never gets old in spring and should be a theme throughout. Plant grass in terracotta pots and design your event around an overall garden theme.
- Seasonal blooms – Classics include tulips, daffodils, peonies, lilies, magnolias, gardenias, hydrangeas, gerbera daisies, and apple or cherry blossoms.




Summer Passion: 夏熱

Warm sunshine, vibrant colors, and outdoor setting opportunities abound during the summer months. Take advantage of the season with these tips for summer theme weddings.

- Color palette – accent with touches of yellow, aqua with beige.
- Fruits – fruits like lemons and limes look whimsical and chic when filled in tall clear vases
- Seasonal blooms – abundant flowers are always in style at a summer wedding. Use bright and cheerful blooms like sunflowers, peonies, hydrangea, mums, daisies, dahlias, zinnias, and roses.
- Add a summer motif - such as a seashell, starfish, tropical flower or plant - to your wedding decoration.



Autumn Romance: 秋色

Looking for autumn-spiration? Here are theme weddings ideas to get you started towards planning a wedding with a fall twist.

- Color palette – colors of the season – adhere to mother nature’s fall color palette: reds, oranges, browns, rusts, and yellows. - Back to nature – use simple décor to subtly enhance the season’s natural bounty.
- Use the autumn harvest for inspiration; think gourds, pumpkins, squash, gold dipped fall leaves, bales of hay, jugs of cider…you get the idea.
- Seasonal blooms – popular fall flowers include montbretia, hypericum, mums, sunflowers, roses, and daisies.
- Add a autumn motif - such as an acorn or maple leaf to your wedding decoration.




Winter Magic: 冬戀

Winter theme weddings can be uber chic and ethereal - an absolute wonderland, if you will. Read on for inspiration.

- Color palette – new-fallen snow - use whites and red accented with silver
- Go glam – deck your halls with crystal detailing for a sparkling winter effect– adorning linens and chair covers or sprinkled over table tops. The result is deliciously glam.
- Liberal use of candle light – the glow will add warmth and elegance.
- Seasonal blooms - white stephanotis, poinsettia, holly, amaryllis, camellias, roses.
- Add a wintery motif – such as a snowflake or holly branch to your wedding decoration

花見教室. 15/9/2012

美麗的花課時光: Emily以花者之心分享花念和靈感、技巧。     在圓環上作花: 草苔為陰,銀河葉列陣為陽,寄意天地一片。      銀河葉排列後便是是整個環狀之律動和線條元素。   以小菊嵌入花泥球(pomander),令環上花境的元素延續,使之具延伸性, 亦可擴闊視覺和想像空間。     黑繡球子點綴其中,亦是 “重”的色調元素,使之豐富,有如著墨之神韻。 雲龍柳之陳設足以貫穿空間, 有裡外之別, 讓空間婉延。 Emily有幸得"木+木" 好友 Michael and Tommy 誠邀,所以今回的花見教室移師滿有禪雅向度的 “木+木生活館”, 以更盡致地映襯文殊花度的古風氛圍或時尚。 內容: "禪寂雅淡" 靈感分享及製作 (清雅出塵之東方花尚) **實踐優雅的東方花葉美學及建構呈現,令你在森羅萬像 的繁花草木中--- 領悟靈感,一瞥驚鴻。 花課筆記 之 節錄 : -禪, 原為漢傳佛教術語。最早源自於禪那,漢譯靜慮,即於一所緣境繫念寂靜、正審思慮。 - 略解~~《青原惟信禪師語錄》中有一段話,並不斷地為美學家所引用:老僧三十年前來參禪時,見山是山,見水是水;及至後來親見知識,有個入處,見山不是山,見水不是水;而今得個休歇處,依然見山祇是山,見水祇是水。 ﹣淺說人生三重境界: 常識境界 ,參禪境界 ,開悟的境界。論及人生之歷煉、本心之觀照及於美學感悟上之起承或轉合。 ﹣“美之為美,有其客觀的存在,不滯於美的美,才是真正的美。超越美而直探美的實相,與直接面對美的表象,其內涵意義自不可以道里計。” ﹣禪思花境可讓人復返自然,領悟樸拙,沈穆靜寂中的安頓和歇息。 **Emily只是拾前人或智者之牙慧,粗疏分享一下其所認識---禪思和花念之關由。請各位指正賜教。

花葉 . 修行 + 行旅

於我,作花是工作、是藝術、是生活也是觀照內心的修行旅程, 究竟寄願以達致: 【猶如蓮華不著水,亦如日月不住空。】 一期一會 . 一步一風景 王陽明《傳習錄》記載 陽明先生遊南鎮,一友指巖中花樹問曰:「天下無心外之物,如此花樹,在深山中,自開自落,於我心亦何相關?」陽明先生曰:「你未看此花時,此花與汝心同歸於寂,你來看此花時,則此花顏色一時明白起來,便知此花不在你的心外。」 以上了悟正是我所想的 "文殊花度" 的向度 -- 美麗, 是當下知見 。 花的美亦復如是 。 重要所在: 「此花與汝心同歸於寂,你來看此花時,則此花顏色一時明白起來,便知此花不在你的心外。」---- Emily 願 每一位來文殊習花的學生、訂花的客人、朋友 ----當見文殊花作時,亦在當時能有 "一時明白起來", 以印証文殊的花不在你的心外。 若然如此,我便無負交託。 Emily Chong 如是想 #文殊花度   #宋人花尚   #東方花美學   #東方插花   #中國插花藝術   #茶席花境   #文人花境 #mdimension   #花見教室   #師法自然   #emily_chong_floral_scener y   #猶如蓮華不著水   #亦如日月不住空  #終得心源 #花嫁 #wedding_flowers #wedding_bouquet #花見行者 #初心初衷 #以花說法 #移花入景 #移景入室 

Happy Birthday to myself

Good Morning Fans & Friends here, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO myself...   忽然想起一個比擬: 在林懷民的"雲門舞集"裡我看到許許多多一心一意的舞者 ,舉手投足眉宇間舞步裡盡是不一樣的美麗與哲思。 也期望,每一位在"文殊花度"的你,在這丁方的花葉國度 裡能看到用心的花者Emily、看到她那詩一般的心志和 美學......但願在文殊花葉詮譯都有你的擁戴和勉勵 。 文殊花者Emily 上         10.1.2012
