Floral Design Shows at Galas

[mcf]

Funny, but I never get invited to these type of floral design shows...

"They came in gowns. They came in suits. They came in feathers, and they came in gender-bending drag to the 16th annual Headdress Ball, a fund-raiser benefiting AIDS charity the Hope and Help Center of Central Florida. About 910 people attended the outrageous charity event at the Omni Orlando Resort at ChampionsGate."

I hope the designer

I hope the designer was not old school and did not follow the old school teaching of beating anything "woody" with a hammer.

Wonderful article with state-of-the-art event decor. Stunning. Thanks!

Don't know if y'all caught Julie's post (with the help of Rich) about the famed Las Floristas Headdress Ball. If you're ever in LA during the last weekend April, it's an amazing sight to see, too.

Clay...Oh no you didn't !!!

P.S. I edited the photo prior to posting on the AFH site for exactly that reason.

Julie has a great post about last weekend's Las Floristas Headdress Ball on her blog - http://www.humanflowerproject.com/index.php/weblog/comments/1128/

Rich has added some fantastic photos from the event on his shop's website - http://theflowerplacefv.com/Outandabout.htm. I found this gem (from 1979) further down the page:

See Rene' - Studly guys in headdresses aren't really new. :>
