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.

Show rules and detailed information are available in the registration schedule. Corsages should be entered under either Class 130 (Orchid Corsages - amateur) or Class 131 (Orchid Corsages - professional). Please note that orchid flowers must dominate in the arrangement, and that artificial or dyed flowers are not allowed (refer to rule 17 in the schedule).

REGISTRATION DEADLINE IS APRIL 21.
