The atmosphere was amazing with so many supportive industry peers, The awards saw everyone cheering on their friends and colleagues.
The Exhibition Hall
So many of the people who supply and support florists came out to meet new clients and engage with loyal longtime buyers too. They made some great stands!
The Demonstrators
Elizabeth Newcombe and Lisa Pålsson delighted the attendees with their floral creations. Bridal and Wedding fashions did not disappoint the crowd and it was wonderful to see artistic creations, which can inspire UK florists future work.
The FlowerLab
Our brand new FlowerLab was a hit! with mini demonstrations throughout the day and ‘have a go stations’ too. The area was visited and interacted with by many attendees, all coming away with inspiration.
The Masterclasses
These professional workshops were headed up by Morgan Douglas-Nuth and Helen Jamieson, giving a great relaxing and skills focused, practical element for those attending the sessions.
