AIFD INDUCTION










A big congrats to Brenna, who just returned from Kansas City, where she was officially inducted into the American Institute of Floral Design!

She joins fellow member (and business partner) Shelly Huynh AIFD into a prestigious group of designers, who have actively worked towards bettering their skills to keep the industry moving forward with innovation and creativity.

A rigorous testing process consists of a 4 hour hands-on Accreditation Evaluation Session, which she attended in Chicago last year. Only an hour before the session begins, the candidates are informed of what types of designs they must complete with the materials provided...think of a floral version of "Iron Chef" or "Chopped" on Food Network if you will!

The "AES" coincides with an annual National Floral Symposium, the "Oscars" of the floral industry they say, where there are incredibly inspiring demonstrations and presentations that would blow your socks off! All with a passion for this industry should be encouraged to attend this summer convention held in a different city each July. We are already looking forward to Boston next year!
