After five exciting VaseOff! Challenges, friendly online design competitions among florists to create arrangements around a theme, we’re hosting the grand finale. We’re bringing back the past VaseOff! winners to compete for the ultimate title — the VaseOff! All-Stars Champion — and we want you to vote right here May 15-29 to help crown the victor.
For the All-Stars challenge, each florist has been tasked with creating an arrangement that inspires a friend to live life to the fullest, encompassing one of the areas from the Live Like a Flower series: Live Colorfully – Dare to be Different.
We’ve seen their arrangements. As expected, the florists delivered — their entries so perfectly illustrate how a gift of flowers can be inspirational and empowering. We can’t wait to see which floral design inspires you most!
So please, check back here starting May 15 to vote. The florists going head-to-head in the final matchup are:
- Walter Fedyshyn of Phillip’s Flowers & Gifts in Chicago, winner of the Surprise Flowers Challenge in November 2013.
- Rowena Johnson of Rochette’s Florist in Farmville, Va., winner of the Mother’s Day Challenge in May 2013.
- Bryan Swann of Karin’s Florist in Vienna, Va., winner of the Victorian Christmas Centerpiece Challenge in December 2012.
- Tony Medlock of PJ ‘s Flowers & Events in Phoenix, winner of the Summer Challenge in July 2012.
- Coby Neal of The Flower Studio in Austin, Texas, winner of the first Challenge, The Great Gatsby Inspired Bridal Bouquet, in April 2012.
