These flowers are not real but the joy they bring to people is


Tan's paper flower crafting skills have been going from strength to strength since he stumbled across the art form three years ago.

He watched wide-eyed in bemused horror as the guests, dressed in their Sunday best for a wedding, enthusiastically clambered onto chairs and plucked colourful flowers off the wall. But rather carefully, of course, because they were all made of paper.

“We had decorations everywhere – they were hanging on the wall, pedestals, walkway, tables and chairs ... and the guests removed almost everything we had put up for the wedding. We were horrified in the beginning, but it was indeed a rewarding experience knowing that they loved it so much that they were willing to go to all that trouble to dismantle the decor just so they could bring it home,” recalls self-taught artist Bryan Tan, 36.
