All we can say is ‘Wow!’ after attending the AIFD South West Region’s design show in Las Vegas – “Your Vegas Is Showing”.
From the oustanding planning by Mike Sinanovic AIFD from Executive Floral, to the fine flowers and event hosting by the team at Mayesh Wholesale Florist, to the witty and enlightening commentary provided by Alex Jackson AIFD of Phoenix Flowers, to the the three feature show-stopping designers – Rick Krause AIFD , Julie Reed AIFD and Kenneth Snauwaert AIFD – the presentations left the audience on their feet and pleading for encores!
Here’s just a small sampling of the centerpiece and wedding bouquet decor masterfully created and presented by this outstanding design team:
