Marriage at The Salib Suci Church

On April 6^th, 2013 I went to the ‘Salib Suci’ church to attend my friend’s son of marriage there. The church is located on 25 Kemuning street, so it’s also popular in Bandung as the church of ‘Kemuning’. And while I was there, I had the opportunity to look around the church decor. And here's the overview report. Let's have a look ...

This is the candle decor for Easter 2013 at 'Salib Suci' church. Look white and pure. ... so great, amazingly!

This is the tower of 'Salib Suci' church. The building belongs to the ancient church and it's quite well maintained. 

The atmosphere when the bride and groom prayed and gave flowers offerings to Mary.

Easter Church Décor 2013

Here’s the church décor at St. Peter Cathedral Bandung on Sunday Easter, March 31^st,  2013.

Some materials we seldom use are sun flowers, cigar flowers and calathea flowers or here it’s famous as ‘bunga uler-uleran’ which has a unique look.

The other materials used are lilium of ‘Kongkadon’, roses, chrysanthemum … etc.

The members of Margriet who got duty to décor the church wall décor, lead by Mrs. Diana.

Here’s the altar décor taken from the right side angle of view.

And this is the flower arrangement in front of the Easter Candle 2013.

Palm Sunday Church Flower Decor 2013

Okay, now that the Easter season has passed and we can take a bit breath, lets move on to the tutorials!!!

A few days ago, we just post on the mass, but now we'll take a closer look on the Holy Week flower decorations.

 Here's the Palm Sunday flower design on the altar, mostly we used kinds of palm leaves such as cycas, big cula palm lady palm or raphis exelsa and baloon flowers. And as focal point, we used woven palm leaves which made of yellow palm. We also have the tutorial.

Credits to the ladies from Margriet team who had done all these lovely flower arrangements for the Palm Sunday. Rome wasn't built in a day and so were these flower decorations,...very tiring.

Easter Mall Decor

Still with a topic of Easter décor, but now it’s not a church décor but a mall décor. Sometime ago, we went to Riau Junction Mall to have lunch there. And when we reached the third floor where many food stalls are, we saw interesting sight near the children playing area which was an Easter decoration of three giant eggs painted in cute characters. Wanna to see?

Easter Mass on St. Peter Cathedral 2013

Happy Easter 2013 guys….

Here's the atmosphere of Easter Sunday at St. Peter Cathedral when we attended the 10.15 mass. Solemn but full of joy and of course crowded as usual moreover lot of visitors from Jakarta as it's a long weekend holiday.

before the mass began ...

The choir on duty at that time, they sang very melodious. Good job guys!!!

After the mass was over, giving an Easter congratulation to each other.

Good Friday Church Flower Decoration 2013

This day was not the day for the Margriet team to shine, why? Because it's Good Friday. And we didn't have any flower decoration whatsoever, the only decor inside the church were this black fabric background with Jesus Picture and coffin in front of it. Pssstt... don't tell anyone, but I actually kinda missed the old days when we got to pour sow flowers into the Jesus crucifix, yeah sure it made lots of flower trash afterwards, but the 'feeling' is more intense, right?

 As usual, even an hour before the mass began some already came to book the seats...

The details....

Maundy Thursday Church Flower Decoration 2013

This time's flower arrangements for the Maundy Thursday, the overall theme is white & green.  Thanks to Mrs. Helena as the coordinator and her team for this gorgeous flower decor.

As seen in above pics, the flower arrangements on the altar consist of 3 parts ie the left - center - right which each of them can stand by itself. They're united into one by using small branches or you can use salix for practical reason. The tutorial for this stunning flower design can be seen here.

And this is the one in front of the psalmist altar, if you want to know how to make them, you can view the steps in here. In this church flower decoration, we used roses, shamrock or spider chrysants, hydrangea, antirinum, carnations while the foliage we used was monstera, curly asplenium but mostly palm leaves.

And this flower arrangement is in front of the Mary statue.

A closer look on the arrangement

For the outdoor area, these flower arrangements were used. We also have the tutorial for making them.

Lastly, here's the design for the flower offerings used in the mass.
