Flora International Magazine

The festive season is nearly upon us and I am so pleased to present to you our winter issue which is packed full of inspiration to help flower up your life.
Being able to be creative at this time of year is very rewarding what with all the scents that are available to us and all the long-lasting foliages we can use.
As always, we have brilliant tutorials for you to tackle and, continuing with our quarterly competitions, I know you will draw inspiration from the entries we received for the Festive Flair theme which have made it into this issue (page 47). Huge congratulations to everyone who
took part, and especially to our overall winner.

Also in this issue, we are introducing Vincenzo Antonuccio who is an Italian master florist with superlative work that is admired the world over. Turn to page 16 to see a fantastic selection of his skills.
In our business section, we are covering topics that include marketing, dried botanicals as well as wreaths for every occasion so again there is
plenty for you to enjoy and learn from.
And last but not least, with the new year looming, we take a look at the trends which will feature in the new year (page 39) to give you a head start.
As 2024 draws to a close I want to say a huge thank you to all our contributors who have helped to make each issue this year so very special, and also to you, our readers, for being with us on this journey - we simply couldn’t do this without your support!
Have a wonderful festive season and all the very best for 2025.
