Retirement Open House and Luncheon

In March we provided florals for two retirement events hosted in honor of Barry Fisher (center), the Crime Lab Director for the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department (LASD). An Open House was held at the new Hertzberg-Davis Forensic Science Center, home to both the LASD and LAPD crime labs, on the campus of CAL State Los Angeles. The Captain and Commander attended, joining those wishing Director Fisher a happy retirement.

Guests were treated to a sumputuous buffet served on silver and crystal.

A large arrangement, elevated by a silver pedastal base, featured submerged cymbidium orchids and underwater LED lighting. Additional feature flowers included dendrobium orchids, calla lillies, hanging amaranthus, curly willow and monstera leaves.

A luncheon was held two days later at the Monterey Hill Restaurant. This is a beautiful venue, featuring stunning views and a garden entrance complete with koi ponds and water falls.

The Grand Ball Room can accomodate 200 guests, and we found the staff to be very professional.

For this event, we designed elegant modern arrangements which included orchids, calla lillies, curly willow and monstera leaves in high luster silver circular vases.

These same flowers were used, in addition to hanging amaranthus, to create the guest book table arrangement in a tall silver fluted vase.

Nearly two hundred people attended the luncheon including the Sheriff of Los Angeles County, Lee Baca.

It was a lovely event and we were happy to be given the opportunity to participate in the celebration. We congratulate Director Fisher on his retirement and wish him well!
