Bouquets to Art 2010 Floral Couture Show

Our Designers Jennifer Lato, Sunghi sonia Morsella, and Nixon Tran were entered to compete at the Bouquets to Art 2010 floral fashion show, De Young Museum. Wouldn’t these dresses be great for a one-of-a kind bridesmaid or flower girl dress?

Dress by Jennifer & Sonia: cherry blossom, angel vine, tweedia, phalaenopsis orchid, eucalyptus.

Dress by Nixon: carnation petals, lily petals. salal, leucodendrum


Q: How long did it take from start to finish?
Jennifer: Sonia and I wanted our dress to have the feel of a spring garden. We have been brainstorming for weeks, but the dress had to be made at the last minute a day and half before the show to keep the flowers fresh. We were very lucky to have these gorgeous cherry blossoms from Michael’s garden.

Q: What was the most challenging part of the process?
Nixon: I purchased fabric to make the dress form from scratch, and the flowers were glued to the fabric. It is always challenging to figure out the best mechanics to support the creation. Right before the show, I ended up gluing lily petals directly to my model’s shoulder.

Q: What was the best part of this experience?
Sonia: We got such positive reactions from the audiance at the gala. It was worth going through some pain, including accidently spraying glue all over my hair, and a last minute trip to the
market at 5:30am.

Bouquets to Art 2010

This year's Bouquets to Art was absolutely stunning. It was so great to see everyone again this year and the designs were absolutely amazing and ingenious. We have a lot of great pictures that we will be posting in the coming days. Until then, enjoy a few from Michael Daigian and our designers, Jennifer Ortega-Lato, Nixon Tran, and Sonia Morsella.

Bouquets to Art 2010!!

This post might be more than a little in advance, but Bouquets to Art is one of the most important San Francisco floral functions. San Francisco designers are given the chance to interpret works of art at the de Young Museum using their arrangements.

MD Design would like to announce that three of our designers, Nixon Tran, Jennifer Ortega-Lato, and Sunghi sonia Morsella have applied to show their work along side MD design owner and head designer, Michael Daigian.



MD Design strongly supports and hopes that Nixon, Jennifer, and Sonia are accepted into the 2010 Bouquets to Art show. Nixon, Jennifer, and Sonia are all extremely strong designers with wonderful vision and creativity. Their floral fashion accessory pieces for the 2009 Bouquets to Art Yves saint Laurent show was a huge sensation!!!

Needless to say, MD design is extremely excited for Bouquets to Art 2010, even though it may be in the distant future.

Here are some examples of the designs Nixon Tran and Jennifer Ortega-Lato created...
