Surprise Party @ (Private Residence) Los Altos, CA
"The overall concept for the design work has been based on complimenting the incredible hand carved panels that will be enjoyed in the living room as well as the mirrored walls of the dinning room. The goal is to compliment these elements in a natural outdoor setting. The contributing gleam from the pool as well as all the plantings in the garden will reflect the white, soft lavender, and grey tones, creating an almost seamless color story."

Heena Shah Wedding @ Doubletree Hotel
"This color palette includes a collection of precious metals: silver, platinum, and gold with red, fuchsia, and pink to complete the spectrum, while incorporating the use of oriental lilies, hydrangea, orchids, gentiana, and roses. To complete the overall vision will adorn with crystals, mirror garland, and bands of satin ribbons."

Bloomster's Participates in 2009 Bouquet To Arts in San Francisco
Bouquet To Arts is an annual event hosted by the San Francisco Auxiliary of the Fine Arts Museums featuring fresh floral designs which interpret works from their collection.
We take pride in participating in this annual fund raising event in which the Bloomster's design staff puts their unique minds to work from which derives brilliant artistry by incorporating the use of fresh floral designs to interpret a fine collection of artwork.
Here at Bloomster's we are proud to say that we have taken part in the Bouquet To Arts fund raiser event for 18 consecutive years. Here is a look a look at our 2008 & 2009 contributional interpretations to Bouquet To Arts.
Throughout the Bay Area Bloomsters is known for its unique designs and out-of-the-box thinking when it comes to floral ingenuity. Moreover, Bloomsters has positioned itself as the florist of choice for those with discriminating taste and a respected design source within the local floral retail industry.
In April of 2008, owner Kren Rasmussen was invited to Tokyo by the Japan Institute of Floral Design (JIFD) to demonstrate Bloomsters unique floral design emphasis and its out-of-the-box creative thinking strategy. Kren was flattered by the invitation and welcomed the challenge knowing that both sides had much to learn and gain from this upcoming experience.
Before Kren departed in late April for Tokyo, he knew that there was an exciting challenge on his hands and pondered many ideas on how he would go about tackling this particular assignment. The challenge would lie in how Kren would incorporate the use of a free style altruistic way of designing into a culture that was very rule and structure oriented. However, Kren was up for any task and believed that the best way was simply just to show them.
During his week stay in Tokyo, the JIFD scheduled four separate events for Kren to demonstrate work that Bloomsters puts out on a daily basis. The first of the events were at two JIFD Schools of Design where kren showed off his work to up and coming designers to the floral industry. During one instance in his presentation, Kren had accidentally cracked the foot of a vase. Instead of discarding this vase, Kren chipped away at the foot of the vase creating a smooth structure and incorporated it into his design. The students were amazed and ecstatic because they would have thrown the vase away thinking that the vase was lost.
This particular incident truly emphasized the out-of-the-box thinking that every element in design is artistic in nature and can be used regardless of what the rules may state.
The following two events were just as successful as the first two as kren lined up a business presentation along with a floral design event for a group of shop owners in Tokyo. Unknowingly, Kren found himself quite the celebrity over there as he was asked to take countless pictures and sign autographs. The JIFD was delighted with Kren's professionalism and have asked him to come back next year as well. Needless to say, Kren was overwhelmed by the entire experience himself and was happy to provide lessons as well as bring some back home to Bloomsters.
By providing unique floral designs and personal service Bloomster's has delighted many customers based in San Jose over
the past twenty years. "We assist many interior designers with floral and plant designs for their projects, however our primary business base is to the residents and professionals throughout the Bay Area," says owner Kren Rasmussen. The Bloomster's store is located in the Almaden Valley of San Jose. Our services include, but are not limited to, installation of permanent and living plants, permanent designs and assistance with accessories. We are proud of the
fact that we are on the Preferred Vendor's listing for many of the fine hotels, golf and country clubs throughout the entire Bay Area. Kren states, "I strongly believe that the services we provide directly improve the quality of life of
our clients and feel that our expertise and creativity helps bring success to all the projects we participate in."
