Anya E.'s photo of model Jessica Serna, wearing the Hanabira ring with pave white sapphires and a center white pearl. Kim Clay did a beautiful job creating a soft look for Jessica's makeup. The backdrop is a hand painted black and white sign for a great restaurant, 'Tenpusu', in the village where we live.
Last week, traveling through a Japanese airport on my way back to the East Coast, I was amazed by this sculpture of a floral wedding dress. The entire wedding dress is constructed out of white orchids. The visual texture the blossoms created was incredible. If only it were wearable!
The Japanese revere the orchid and soon the International Orchid Festival will begin in Okinawa, Japan. This dress was made in honor of the festival, but thousands of orchids fill the Naha airport year round.
This was the actual dress that I saw with the skirt, train and boostier formed by white Phalenopsis orchid petals. From far away it looked like a million butterflies descending in unison on to the dress. Pretty spectacular. Along with many other Japanese travelers, I was taking pictures with my Japanese cell phone (which I still have not figured out how to upload to my computer!).
