Governor of West Flanders Carl Decaluwé and US Ambassador Howard Gutman paid Magical Winter Moments a visit. They were both surprised by the floral creativity of our Belgian and international florists. Mrs. Gutman was in awe of Anne Huttener’s vegetal dresses and felt that the magnificently lit table decorations by Anneke Catrysse and Paul Pierre were a wonderfully festive idea. The grand decorations with Kalanchoe created by Frederiek Van Pamel, with Anthurium by Belgium’s top florist Tom Nackaerts from Young Amadeus and with white Phalaenopsis by Stijn Simaeys were greatly appreciated. The works by the regular Fleur Créatif team featuring Geert Pattyn, Moniek Vanden Berghe, Ivan Poelman and Jan Deridder surrounding ‘the most expensive candle in the world’ from Hautekiet Candles, were also widely applauded. Stijn Simaeys presented a beautiful bouquet to Mrs. Gutman. Of course, Magical Winter Moments was very honoured by the visit of these dignitaries.
