Central Allied Florists of Mississippi’s Christmas Conference 2012

FSN’s Amy at the entrance of the CAF Mississippi Christmas Show

Flower Shop Network was in Jackson Mississippi this past weekend for an inspiring Christmas show by the Central Allied Florist Association. Attendees were treated to hands-on workshops and design shows, as well as a Christmas-themed vendor showcase.

FSN’s Shelly with Frank Cade from Southern Oaks Florist in Hattiesburg MS

One of our favorite aspects of going to these conferences is meeting florists in our network face-to-face. In the photo above, you see Frank Cade from Southern Oaks Florist in Hattiesburg MS.

Christmas Trees at the Central Allied Florist Association of Mississippi’s Conference

Above you can see examples of new Christmas trends you could learn about at the show. Cleverly, Christmas ornaments have been hung from long green string attached to a central point at the top. This gives the illusion of a modern-style Christmas tree.

It was a great show and we came back excited and ready for Christmas! We hope to see you out next year!
