A Floral Masterpiece: The Iconic Chandelier of Floralies Ghent 2016
At the 2016 edition of Floralies Ghent—a historic flower festival with over 200 years of tradition—my floral chandelier was honored as the standout favorite among more than 100,000 visitors and the press.
As Michel Vermaerke, Chairman of the KMLP and organizer of Floralies, shared:
"Despite the presence of many internationally renowned florists, Tomas De Bruyne’s floral chandelier, an artful masterpiece, was the outspoken number 1 favorite... Tomas demonstrated that contemporary floral art in the unique historic setting of a baroque church can appeal to people of all ages, backgrounds, and origins, while adding special value to the city and a traditional event like the ‘Floralies.’ May Tomas keep inspiring future generations on the power, beauty, and symbolic value of flowers."
This project showcased the fusion of history, innovation, and artistry, proving that flowers can transcend time and culture to unite and inspire. Let me bring this transformative power of floral art to your next project.
