Sakura Blossom Bliss at Gardens by the Bay

White, Pink, Red, Yellow, these Sakura Blossom all look stunning 🙂
Gardens By The Bay’s latest campaign Blossom Bliss has brought Sakuras (樱花) to humid Singapore!

Sakuras in Full Bloom, but do hurry as the flowers will wilt away by 24th Mar.

No bad shots. Just aim in any direction, capture some bokeh effect and the Sakuras just pop! I would recommend morning Sun for the dreamy effect.

The bokeh effect, either front or back seems to pull us into the beautiful Sakura domain.

Go low and shoot skyward with the dome (and blue sky overhead) for that dreamy effect (sun rays). Personally, I would recommend viewing the Sakuras in the day rather than night.

Everyone is eager to snap a Sakura memory, it would be a challenge to avoid photo bombers 🙂

Take a Sakura shot with the Japanese style bridge or pavilion, or even cosplayer, it does add another dimension of “Feel”.

Gardens by The Bay’s (GBTB) Sakura Blossom Bliss is unique and sensational in an unique way because so many variety of Sakuras have been brought under one roof (I meant Dome). Although we cannot Hanami (picnic under the blooms), the picturesque landscape does make our hearts flutter and camera clicks.


This pink variety does looks a bit like Chrysanthemum.

I got one recommendation for GBTB, do introduce some man-made breeze, let the Sakura branches sway and petals fall. It would be such a romantic sight.

Even the buds look so pretty.

Do book your tickets online to avoid the crowds, and be prepared for long queues at carparks, and entry to Flower Dome. More updates about Sakura Blossom Bliss can be found on Gardens by the Bay (GBTB) Website, Facebook and Instagram.

Gardens by the Bay’s “Blossom Beats” feature a variety of cherry and peach blossoms in a Japanese-style garden setting. The Cherry blossoms (樱花) looks nice from far, and even more spectacular upfront.

Wefie and Selfie craze! How many times do we get an opportunity to pose with the pretty Sakura (white, red, pink). We only need mats to picnic under the Sakura 🙂

As this is the school holiday, a list of activities was designed to captivate the young ones.

We saw some cosplay characters, they were dressed to blend in with the Japanese culture. We also noticed that some Cherry blossoms had already withered.

Even on the floor, the petals looked mesmerising.

The attention to details (moss, water) is impressive. Even the reflections off the glass panel look good!
