"Passion" 2013

The American Institute of Floral Designers held their annual design symposium in June 2013 at the Paris Hotel in Las Vegas and it was another wonderful event. In the last post I shared pictures of last years symposium, "Caliente," held in Miami, so now I want to share some of the beautiful work from this year.

One of the wonderful things about symposium is that there are flowers everywhere you look. My room was full of pretty blooms, the dinning roos was gorgeous and unique at every meal, and the shows were so inspiring. After every program, the designs were taken into a separate room to allow everyone to take pictures and inspect them up close. The room had hanging bubble chairs and white couches but the "simple" floral touches on the tables were the best part. 
               



Towering designs were showcased in just about every presentation on stage (pictured top) and in the dinning rooms (pictured bottom). Everyone is always worried about centerpieces being to big to talk around but let me tell you, we had no problems talking around these giants!

 
 
 
There were beautifully intricate wedding designs from tabletops to backdrops, bouquets and beyond. Truly one of the best parts about attending symposium is the inspiration it provides. We may not have a reason to recreate each of these ideas but the mechanics behind them can be put to use in so many ways.
 
 
It takes an army to put together designs like these and the world class designers at AIFD Symposium have teams of designers assisting them in the production of each of these creations. It's a pretty awe inspiring event to be a part of. I hope these images give you some ideas for different ways to use flowers. Thank you to all the amazing talent at this year's "Passion" symposium.
