For instance, we had one florist use our sculpting sheet to make a pave design with candles for Valentine&#8217;s Day. It was so striking and so different from the tall vases you typically see for the holiday.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, Smithers-Oasis wanted to encourage its customers to teach one another and to take pride in their originality.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think it&#8217;s a real confidence booster,&#8221; Mace said. &#8220;For florists on the fence about testing for AIFD or state certifications, or entering design competitions, this can give them the nudge to go for it. We absolutely love to see\u00a0winners share their ads and blog posts on Facebook and watch the compliments from their customers and peers pour in.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2466\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2466\" style=\"width: 200px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.florist20.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/prom-group.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2466\" src=\"https:\/\/www.florist20.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/prom-group-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2466\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">an outtake from Garrett Skupinski&#8217;s photo shoot<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In every ad, Smithers-Oasis\u00a0tries to recreate the backroom look. &#8220;We want it to look like they&#8217;re in the act of creating the design.
