FLORISTRY students from Bishop Burton College had a worthwhile journey to the prestigious FleurEx competition held in Birmingham .

The students who were victorious are all on the final year of their FdA floristry design course.

Theresa O'Grady from Cherry Burton took first place in the category to decorate a chair.

She was inspired by an art noveau and sea theme, incorporating items such as dried star fish, crab and sea shells to decorate the chair which was covered with sand.

Flowers used included phalanopsis orchids, anthuriums, seedum, succulents and hypericum. Theresa also won the bridal category last year- watch this space. 

 

Katie Gilman design  pictured below , from Hull, took third place in the decoration of the chair category. Her theme for the chair was inspired by nature - Katie used roses, anthuriums and foliage such as aspidistra and  galax leaves, twigs, moss and ivy - to recreate an enchanting chair.
