Mints is a design studio and a blog dedicated to wedding & event design as well as all forms of beautiful things. Opened in Feb 2005, Mints is known for East meets West in Style, blending contemporary European and exotic Oriental elegance into floral art.  We spend days dreaming up new ideas to make ordinary designs luxuriously fresh and stylish, creating new twists on tradition, searching old treasures and new products. In 2007, we launched a lifestyle brand Charlyn Koo and debuted our very first stationery collection, which our work can be found at the San Francisco hip boutique, the New York antique store as well as Neiman Marcus. We heart and create pretty things. From our daily interaction with brides-to-be and other design professionals, we are challenged to think beyond the box and we love to share our inspirations, tips & finds, as well as our journey with you.
