Valentines
E
very February 14, lovers worldwide celebrate with flowers. Across the United States and in other places
around the world, flowers, candy and other types of gifts are exchanged between loved ones, all in the
name of St. Valentine. We wanted to share floral inspiration for the upcoming holiday of love.
Let's get ready for a busy and successful Valentine's Day in 2022. We created a contest where designers
submitted photos of their best Valentine's Day floral designs in any or all of four categories:
Gift Boxes
Arrangements
Hand-tied Bouquets
Floral Photography
Non-rose Options
We received many beautiful submissions from designers
in countries throughout North America, Europe and Asia.
We consider this feature an inspirational global take on
floral design for Valentine's Day. Our panel of judges
selected their favorite designs in each category.
e winning designers have their work featured in
this issue, and the overall winner will receive a "Florist
Spotlight" feature in an upcoming issue of Florists' Review.
Congratulations to all of the featured designers.
Design Idea: Here is just one design idea that will enable
you to show off your artistic flair : Create heart shapes out
of curly willow, Liriope (lily grass), OASIS™ Midollino Sticks,
decorative wire, and other botanical and nonbotanical
materials. And a bonus is that you can create many of these
accents well in advance of the holiday rush.
