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 

久被遺忘的中國花藝之歷史與精神

Emily Chong 早前榮幸獲浸會大學邀約,主持17.3.2016的文化研究通識講堂。   題目:久被遺忘的中國花藝之歷史與精神   同場設置一簡意的瀹茶席 境及示範枯木上的東方淡遠,以讓同學們真情實感地體驗中華文化的 其中點滴及花見面貌。   是次花講座,實在教學 相長,而到來選修的BU學生也很用心,在學期末趕論文之際也抽空參   與!同時亦謝謝我的 "花見行者" 來支 持、協助各項花事細務!   老師花暖心也暖。 願我們重拾這久別的遺忘並重逢,莫讓悠久且珍貴的文化涵 養一直散落、散失或扔掉。   photography by Sgally Chu     "花見行者" 師生合照

宋人之美

宋朝的白山茶花及今時的玉繡球 初春的櫻桃葉配白桃花古畫扇面   讓心坎無染 讓紛擾無痕 我相信,人在歲月裡對世間的起伏感悟可流轉百年和更多 Emily 總說: 我忘了昨天,却又想起從前! 上古並不湮遠, 就如:我們在純然靜默的花葉裡可經歷詩般的時光流逝却又復還 ;要體會要洗煉或沉澱。 我回到宋人之美; 那心懷那景致; 那駐足那守候。 想起我台灣朋友常說的: Emily的老靈魂又來了! 我一看古籍、古畫册、古裝大河劇、老電影就逃不了老靈魂來襲!! 也許如張愛玲所論調: 「我寄住在舊夢裡,在舊夢裡做著新的夢。」
