Well it has been a very hectic week here at Amanda's. Mostly because Amanda is finding it hard to keep her mind on what she is doing rather than the most inspirational weekend she has ever had.
The Icelandic volcano has caused so much chaos over the past 2 weeks. Planes grounded and people stranded all over the world. It was because of such chaos she got the chance to work with some of the best designers in the floral world.
Many international designers were unable to make it over for the Fusion Flowers magazine's annual photo-thon. It is one of the industries leading magazines, filled with innovative ideas and the most gorgeous designs you will ever see.
Proving that Scotland has talent and that Scottish florist's are up for a challenge, 3, chipped in to lend a hand with designers which had already made it safely to the lovely village of Kippen, near Stirling.
Amanda also offered to "pop" down the road to help in any way that she could.
"Just being there seeing what those designers could do was an experience on its own. These guys are at the top of the game and the bouquets and arrangements they produced were to die for! The concepts, the attention to detail and the work put in can only inspire anyone to push their own boundaries. There are no limitations apart from those that you put on yourself!"
"It was an amazing weekend and I can only thank Alison and Denis Bradley, Sue Phillips, Debbie Gough, John McDonald, Lorna McGuire, Wendy Andrade and John Hosek for taking the chance on a rookie. I have come away with not only completely new out look on the world of flowers but also on myself!" - Amanda.
To have a look at what Fusion Flowers is all about and how it continues to break the boundries of modern floristy take a look at their website.
