Just before Christmas, St. Louis hosted the Veil Prophet Ball which has been a St. Louis tradition since 1878. This social event is filled with splendor and pageantry, and the most beautiful flowers of the season.
For almost 40 years I have been asked to create the bouquets for the queen and her court. Each year the queens bouquet consists of over 300 orchids all of which are donated by the Missouri Botanical Garden. The retiring queen and the special maid's bouquets are designed to compliment their magnificent gowns.
I have included pictures of the queen's bouquet and the 2009 retiring queen, Elizabeth Hailand. She was so thrilled with her bouquet, she sent me this note. Now...how cool is that!
WITH FLOWERS IN HER HAND...EVERY WOMAN IS A QUEEN.
