“I love flowers! Showcasing some of our
work is a big deal to a small, relatively new
business. Being selected as a finalist was a
very big highlight for 2014”.

“I was very excited to be named finalist
in the competition as being a one woman
small business, I do not have budgets
for marketing and PR, so being given
such exposure in a free competition was
absolutely fabulous.What really felt great
was the lovely comments to accompany the
entry from peers in the industry.”

“2014 was the first year I entered and
surprisingly I was nominated as a finalist
in the flowers to carry category. I shared
the facebook post with my clients, friends
and family and we checked it every day to
watch the votes racking up.The winner took
the lead on the first day and although I
closed in towards the end, I didn’t quite get
enough votes to win! Considering the large
number of entries I was very happy with
second place...”

“The bride requested wild and rustic but
with bright vibrant colours. I loved the bright
colours and the long flowing ribbons we
used for this bouquet. The part about the
day I loved the most was the photographer
catching this picture with a cow in the
background which epitomized the rustic
country feel of all the flowers including the
bridal bouquet for the whole day. If I could
do a bouquet like this every week I would
be in heaven. I love the organic flow and
free spirit of it!”
