2012 AIFD SYMPOSIUM CALIENTE

It has definitely been awhile so why not come back with a bang! 2012 AIFD Symposium was in hot hot hot MIAMI! Hence the theme CALIENTE!
This is my photo journey :)
Bye for now Vegas

Right after our student Orientation we went straight to the PFDE room which held all the arrangements from this years brave designers who tested to try and become AIFD!

Good Luck to everyone that tested, I hope you hear the great news and we will see you in Viva Las Vegas!

The next day was competition time! Bright and early in the morning! Since I plan to do a post dedicated to the competition I'll just attach a few photos for now...

Congrats to all my fellow student competitors everyone did amazing!

Our Student Chapter Advisors and our College of Southern Nevada team!

As usual the Lobby of the Hyatt Regency was DECKED out with fabulous flowers in ingenious creations and designs!

Moving on to one of my favorite things about symposium, the Partners Expo! The ballroom was filled wall to wall and floor to ceiling with all of the latest products the floral industry has to offer! From the bling from Fitz, and great vessels from Accent Decor to the gorgeous flowers from Mayesh, United Floral Exchange and Green Valley floral!

And these are Mayesh's "Bat Flowers" super cool!

Then it was all about the learning, inspiring and creating going on from one artist to the next! Everyone who presented this year did such a great job! Here are some pictures from some of the great programs presented this year.

To finish things off here are a few pics from the great dinner and lunch events!


ADIOS!
