ORCHIDOPHILIA OTTAWA

CORSAGE CLASS INFORMATION


A new feature of the 2008 Show will be a special class for cut flower corsages to adorn a dress loaned by the well-known couturier Richard Robinson, created specially for our show. As you can see from the photo below, the dress will attract a lot of interest and will be a focal point of the show. Corsages will be judged on their artistic merit, and on how well they complement the style and colour of the dress itself. The dress will be prominently displayed on a mannequin, and all entries will be exhibited close by. If possible the winning entry will be displayed on the dress, as it would be worn in real life.

You are invited to enter a corsage in this exciting and fun competition!

REGISTRATION DEADLINE IS APRIL 21.
