Why This Theme for Fleur Floral Fashion?
This year's theme is A Castle Deserves Art! So it will be a very artful edition with a lot of attention for the artistic side of floristics, Floral Art pur sang! The castle has been completely redecorated with new wallpaper ... and this deserves an artistic floral decoration!
Fleur Creatif and [email protected]
Our Fleur Creatif and [email protected] teams are already looking for inspiration from artists and art directions. They will unleash their creativity on the theme of art and present grand floral arrangements as a kind of art exhibition. Moniek Vanden Berghe gets to work artistically with materials such as cardboard ...and breathes new life into it with flowery power. Rita Van Gansbeke will design several frames with floral and natural materials, pure...and for her flower table, Rita has it all in her mind and just waits to unleash her creativity. Sören and Aymeric will bring a different feeling with the "Eternal Roses" from LULU Roses. (Naranjo Roses Ecuador)

The New World
Andrea Stör's Team from Roumania will be joining us at Fleuramour's Edition: Fleur Floral Fashion. She has a great idea to bring to Belgium:After one year when the world stopped from the normal spinning, my perspective about floristry is different. I remember so vividly the moment when during my travel to Germany, as a Horticulture University student, I’ve discovered the "Fleur Creatif August issue", 16 years ago. A powerful thought told me: "This is what I have to do in my life, flower design!" And now I am proudly representing my country as an international flower designer, together with my students, for the second time at this amazing Castle from Alden Biesen. With the new vision about what floristry means in 2021, I am so excited to create amazing installations that reach the minds and enhance the spirit of humankind. Even though many of us wanted to come back to what was before the pandemic, the new normal is not the same, because we are not the same. That is why our project at Fleur Floral Fashion by Fleuramour is named: "The New World".
What Will Be the Eye-catcher on the Court?
In recent years we have always enjoyed a great spectacle at the Court. Also this year it will fabulous again. You know we only just decided to organize this event, and Tom de Houwer played with the thought of doing it again, but he wants to give the opportunity to somebody else. Tom:It's a great experience and it's amazing to see how all your effort of thinking and designing comes together and creates such an impact. The rewarding comments of people entering the Court and the emotions they show are the biggest gifts I could receive. That feeling should be for another designer every year.YES! YES! We found the best designers possible for the Court!! Viky Vangampelaere en Mieke Hoflack. They are working with the thought of a Pond, exciting.
