Japanese floral styles on show

Thistle Johor Baru Hotel’s lobby area will be filled with flowers of different shades of pink for the Ikebana International Johor Baru Chapter 19th annual floral exhibition.

The event, held in conjunction with the club’s 19th annual dinner will showcase Japanese floral arrangements by 30 of the club’s members.

The club’s Johor Baru Chapter president Shirley Cheah said the exhibition’s theme was Shades of Pink.

“About 30 of the club’s members from Singapore, Kuala Lumpur and Johor Baru will be displaying their work at the hotel’s lobby and foyer of the ballroom.

“The participants are required to stay true to the theme and use only flowers of different shades of pink,” she said, adding that the exhibition was open to public.

She said besides the exhibition, there would also be a floral arrangement exhibition by Christopher Lim, a famous floral designer from Singapore.

“Lim will demonstrate how to design different kinds of Japanese floral arrangements.

“He has more than 27 years of experience in floral designing and in teaching the art, so it will be interesting to watch the master display his talents,” she said.

Cheah said that the annual dinner would begin at 7.30pm on May 15 after the exhibition.

“Guests are encouraged to come early as cocktails will be served at 6.30pm.

“It will be a great opportunity for guests as well as members to mingle with each other while enjoying the refreshments,” she said.

Dinner tickets are priced at RM80 per person for members and RM90 per person for non-members.

“The dress code for the night is the colour pink so guests are encouraged to come in pink attires.

“Other than a spread of fusion food, guests will be entertained by live music and lucky draws throughout the night,” she said.
