2008 Floral Designer of the Year

Posted June 22 2009

We're honestly and truly humbled that the Canadian Wedding Industry Awards have chosen Vintage Design Co. as the recipient of it's national 2008 Floral Designer of the Year Award!!! When we received the notification by email late last month, we were totally blown away! Canada's wedding industry is filled with some amazing talent, true floral artists ... and we feel incredibly honoured to have been chosen as the best among them in 2008!

The Credits ...
Of course, the real credit goes to the greatest team a girl could dream of having ... the dedicated and truly selfless Jen Christie (Assistant Designer Extraordinairé), the talented Heidi Taylor (Über Designer) and, my favourite team member, my partner in life and business, Mark Elliotson (Marketing Exec, I.T. Guy, Graphic Designer, Photographer and Lifter of Heavy Things)!!! There are also many who have traveled in the VDC circle at one point or another over the years ... Cara, Monica-Maria, Shirl, Teresa, Muggs and Lisa ... you each deserve a little piece of this award!

Thanks also to our awesome clients who let us creative types at VDC flex our design muscles each and every week as we strive to produce just exactly what it is that makes them gasp and say, “That’s it! That’s us!” ... we totally love our job!!!

The Details ...
Presented in part by WedLuxe (Canada's Luxury Wedding Magazine), this year's panel of esteemed award judges included the reigning king of event design Preston Bailey, Los Angeles based celebrity wedding planner Mindy Weiss and Canada's own Laura deCarufel, Senior Editor at ELLE Canada Magazine ... talk about industry heavy-hitters!
