FSN at the 2012 Alabama State Florist Association Convention

The Wizard of ASFA

Off to see the wizard… the wonderful wizard of ASFA!

Our team had the fabulous opportunity to attend the Alabama State Florist Association‘s 2012 Annual Convention this past weekend in Montgomery. How fun is a Wizard of Oz themed event, especially for florists? Just imagine all you can do with ruby slippers, Emerald City and yellow brick road inspiration!

Flower Shop Network was off to see the Wizard with our very interesting booth arrangement for this show.

Can you spot the ruby slippers?

One of the most exciting events of the convention was the Wreath Design Competition. This year, they did the wreath competition a little bit differently. “Now, instead of focusing only on Christmas designs, you can bring any kind of design that you desire…a bridal wreath, something seasonal, a holiday theme…it doesn’t matter!  Let your creativity go wild!” The competitors did exactly that, these wreaths were WILD!

Alabama Florist Convention Presentation

Alabama State Florist Convention also hosted many great presentations on design and the floral industry to keep florists on the forefront of trendiness. These events always give designers a big boost of inspiration and confidence. (Who doesn’t need that?)
