I have watched @normacohenproduction create magic for others for years.
When her own daughter’s wedding arrived, she turned that same gift inward — and built a world from scratch. Breathtaking. Completely original. Completely her.
Congratulations, my dear friend. You outdid yourself.

Beneath a structure of breathtaking scale, the ceiling told a story — stars shifting into cascading florals, light wrapping every surface in something between dream and memory. A floral dance floor. A stage dressed for royalty. Every detail layered, intentional, alive.
A royal wedding that felt like its own universe.
Because it was.
Paid a visit to the @wynn.macau , on a break from the @dwp_congress , I got to visit one of my floral installations for the very first time. It made me a little emotional to see the public engagement. Keep creating your art., folks. The world needs more beauty. 😊🤡❤️
Two environments. One unforgettable evening.
Designed by Preston Bailey.
❄️Ceremony - A Winter Wonderland of hanging crystals creating luminous trees.
🌞Dining Area - A Summer Garden reception with garden projections wrapping guests in warmth and color.
The brief is almost always the same. Give me something I’ve never seen before.
Our track record for delivering is high. Occasionally, we get close.
Slide One: A client came to me with four words: totally over the top. I may have under-delivered on the candles. I’m still not sure.
Slides Two & Three: Fresh wisteria. Available two, maybe three weeks in spring. Extraordinarily fragile. Nearly impossible to source in quantity, harder still to arrange without losing half of it in the process. The window to execute this is unforgiving. We caught it.
Slide Four: An archived concept — floral columns. Some ideas belong in the permanent record.
Slides Five & Six: A floral canopy for an intimate dinner. The table arrangement beneath it: a miniature French garden. The ceiling and the table in conversation with each other, neither one competing.
Which is your favorite?
A floral chuppah. A castle.
A reception under flowers raining from above.
A ceremony steeped in meaning.
A celebration soaked in beauty.
A night no one in that room will ever forget. This is the standard.

Designed for a Royal wedding:
A custom structure.
Retractable ceiling.
Crystal installation at the entrance,repeated above the bridal party.
Centerpieces holding the entrance and stage motif throughout.
Pool decor integrated into the architecture.
Nothing unintentional.
“Preston, we’d like something never seen before.”
We hear this often. We don’t always land it. But we try every time.
Here are some of my successful and not-so successful designs.
Slide One: A Centerpiece made of Fruit and real fire. Yes. It’s real fire. 🔥
This is an outdoor only design, non-negotiable, unless the fire brigade is outside on standby. Note the chair covers, each one different.
Slides Two & Three: Hanging orchid installations. A Hawaiian concept, client’s idea, executed exquisitely, and I’ll own that.
Slide Four: A closeup of the floral birdcage we referenced last week. We did warn the client about the obstruction. They didn’t care. Neither, apparently, did the guests it blocked.
Slide Five: Cascading fresh flowers, hand-sewn. Each hanging strand of rose petals takes ninety minutes to construct by hand. The arrangement stand beneath it is covered entirely in fresh flowers — kept alive for the duration of the event. There is no shortcut in this work. There is only the work.
Not every attempt is a triumph. Every attempt is genuine.
Which is your favorite?
