One of our designers recently competed in the San Diego County Fair’s Floral Design Competition – Professional Category. We are so proud of her. She participated in 2 events. For the competition, the designer needed to bring all their own container, flowers and props.
The first had a theme of “Taste of the Orient”. Kristine received a 3rd place for her design. Here is a photo.

For her next competition, the theme was “Java Jive”. Take a good look at the photo and check out the “coffee” coming from the coffee pot. The “coffee” is strings of hypericum berries (otherwise known as coffee berries). She is so talented. She won a 2nd place ribbon for her efforts.
Here is a photo of her second competition:

If you want to see some of her 1st prize arrangements, stop by Adelaide’s.
I have had the opportunity of working with Kristine on some of my party flowers and she is amazing. All I want to say is that all the designers there are so talented and the staff is so friendly and great to work with.
