Bloom Tour Launch: Botanical Couture Fashion Show
Kick off this year’s Bloom Tour at this free floral fashion show in Director Park. Head over on your lunch break to see showstopping designs from internationally renowned artist Françoise Weeks and nine other floral designers who take the concept of “flower crown” to a whole new level. The first 100 attendees get a free swag bag; I recommend using it to pick up a bouquet from any of the stores featured on the Bloom Tour. SHANNON LUBETICH
