Illinois State Florists' Convention Spring 2012

Michelle and her fellow florists have worked all year to bring the annual spring show to Springfield and now it's here!

Maria Buskirk, Designer of the Year for 2011, showed us lots of new wedding ideas.

Our vendors are showing us the best of the best of flowers from all over the world. These tulips are the size of peonies!

And yesterday's highlight was a hands-on class with Hitomi!

Stay tuned! We'll have more pictures to follow :)

About Michelle

Michelle began designing in 1982. She opened Petals & Co's retail location in Rochester in 1997, which is a full service floral and gift shop where you can find selections for weddings, funerals, hospitals, and all your floral and gift needs.

One of the highlights of Michelle's career was when she, along with two other local designers, provided the backdrop for President Obama's stage when he visited in 2009.

Michelle is especially proud of her wedding work. She feels blessed and honored to be chosen to be a part of such an important life event. Last year Michelle and her team provided florals for over a hundred weddings and events.
