I was fortunate to be able to travel back to KL to attend a friend's wedding dinner. We made a short shopping trip (haha) to my favourite mall 1 Utama, also just in time to check out its Chinese New Year decoration.
This year's theme is titled "Splendidferous New Year" and their decoration centred around spring flowers, paper fans and cute piggy displays.
From 1st floor, the display on the Oval is bright and festive, thanks to the colourful floor decoration which matches the round paper fans on display. I love the hanging baskets tanglung that were filled with flowers, hanging over one side of the Oval.
As I went over to LG, one can see the towering display of gold geometric nuggets and pots, the large and beautiful flowers, huge banner with the paper fans. I did not get to see last year's Christmas theme in person, but based on the Facebook photos, I suspect the geometric blocks were recycled from the Christmas theme, this time sprayed with gold colour. If it is really reused design, good on 1 Utama for maximising the use of these festive decorations!
Have you met the three little pigs? They are named 新 (New), 春(Spring) and 福 (Prosperity) respectively.
I am always a fan of huge blooms, and this one won hands down. The flowers are lit up in the middle section by round bulbs, very creative!
After admiring the main display at the Oval, I walked towards the Old Wing and Centre Court. The long and narrow pathway along Uniqlo did not mean it was left empty and bare. Instead, the hanging tanglung baskets hung over the pathway, while Chinese style round table and stools are placed along that pathway. There were also tall structures decorated with peonies and cherry blossoms.
The centre court has been transformed into a vibrant marketplace! I love to see the stalls so colourful and matching to the theme.
Probably not related to the 1 Utama decoration, but this window display in one of the watch shop in Old Wing caught my eye. So elegant and pretty!
