Some floral projects stay with you long after the flowers themselves are gone. One of the most memorable large-scale events we have worked on was back in 2015, when we created an extraordinary floral installation for the opening night of a Ballantynes fashion event in Christchurch. It was bold, dramatic and completely different from everyday floristry — exactly the kind of event work we love.
