We were honored to create florals for President Obama, Monday night at the Banderas residence.

This home is one of the most handsome in Los Angeles and we always feel lucky to be able to work in this historical house.

Linens from La Tavola tied with gold cording and tassels, set the stage for overflowing abundant arrangements of jewel-tone flowers.

We used ruby red dahlias, amethyst and green hydrangeas, deep red and Latin Curiosa roses, butterscotch Fujis and rust China mums with burgundy hanging Amaranthus trailing down over the urn.

Michael Brooks of Michael Brooks Creates, organized the event and Bread and Butter Catering presented many delicious items that evening.

A few standouts were Crab and mango salad on wonton chips with wasabi aioli,   Roasted parsnip & coconut soup in Espresso cups,  Mini-pea and potato samosas with savory mango and herb chutney and  Griddled chorizo, caramelized onion and Manchego cheese sandwich triangles.
