BFA European Floristry School – what a fabulous time

The EFS 19 is over but what a fantastic time we had. Gorgeous designs made by our 3 designers, Niina Minkkenin-Westerlund from Finland, Alex Segura from Spain and Roman Steinhauer from Russia. Over 20 florists each day were treated to all 3 designers work and took away with them some inspirational ideas as well as any left over flowers and sundries to complete some more work at home. BFA member Sarah Louise Glynn from Petals by Sarah Louise said

”I just wanted to say what an amazing 3 days I had. My brain just wouldn’t switch off last night, processing everything I had seen and done. All 3 designers were outstanding and so inspiring. It was also so lovely to meet so many other florists and have a good old chin wag! Thanks so much organising everything”.

Huge thanks must go to all the 3 volunteers that helped. Charlotte, Mary, and Heather. Also to Fleurametz for their gorgeous flowers and Warwickshire college, tutor Jane Benefield and Claire Hammond for sorting the buffet each day. The next EFS will be held in 2021. Details of the designers will be advertised next year.
