The last few weeks have been packed with decisions to make, plans on how our new venture is going to look, how to market the products and services we will provide and all the little details that will make the place a destination worth everyone's while.
The first of three chandeliers going up... took our breath away!
The place where many of our heart-warming and mouth-watering meals will be made... with love, of course!
We have done our research on the local shopping experience and have, with most of our customers, friends and associates, come to the conclusion that there really isn't a shop that is all encompassing. The experience of going into a store which not only enthuses you but inspires you, is so important these days. Most of the big stores tend not to deliver in those areas mainly through their lack of differentiation in terms of merchandise and service.
Everything is homogenised and there is not much to make you smile, think or even decide to feel you wish to part with your cash, for the sake of possessing that object which should ultimately bring days, months, and years of enjoyment.
Here's a taster of what is to come at The White Orchid Living store. Let us know what you think!
Beautiful floral arrangements and our usual inimitable bouquets,
wall art and ornaments,
repainted, vintage furniture - mainly French,
a very exclusive collection of well-chosen pieces of beautifully made occasion dresses,
ideas for wedding or dining celebrations,
delicious and pretty cakes to tempt you to tea,
two main new ranges of room sprays and candles with the most mesmerising scents by Christian Tortu - celebrated florist of Paris and Ines de la Fressange, the all time-face of France and muse of Karl Lagerfeld of Chanel,
interiors to make you go change a whole room scheme,
various shades of candles to add to the splendour of Autumn and Christmas,
new glass and ceramic vases for all your floral dreams and inclinations,
and altogether a different new approach to living the dream of a beautiful life...
