"I won the 'Sheri Renee Montgomery White, AAF, TMFA Memorial Scholarship' from Texas State Florists' Association's Floral Endowment, and I plan to use those funds for my Texas Master Florist certifi cation," she informs. "I know many talented designers who applied for the scholarship, and I greatly appreciate receiving the honor! At this point, I have to take only three in-person classes to fi nish my certifi cation, which I hope will take place this spring." In addition to her active Instagram account, Prokhorova continues to grow her business with out-of-the-box ideas. "I collaborated with the local chef Dean Sprague, CEC, executive chef at the Omni Corpus Christi Hotel and the Texas Chefs Association's 2019 'Chef of the Year,' to come up with ideas for the fruit-and-veggie combos I used for my most popular arrangements," she shares. "It was a hit! Clients had so much fun sending arrangements to each other, cooking the veggies and sharing what they made later." Today, Prokhorova's work includes creating fl oral walls and installations for weddings and fundraising events, as well as her interesting veggie/fl ower bouquets and fl oral design classes. Several publications have featured her work recently, and she regularly styles cover photoshoots for lifestyle magazines. She is no stranger to attention; however, our notice of her talent gave her pause, and her response humbles us. "When I saw one of my designs reposted by Florists' Review, I cried. No kidding! I never considered myself as a fl orist until that day." Join Julia online at YouTube.com/FloristsReview for a delightful tutorial video coming soon.
