Committee on Arrangements Announces the Official Florists of the 2016 Republican National Convention

Committee on Arrangements Announces the Official Florists of the 2016 Republican National Convention
 
Cleveland, OH – Today, the Committee on Arrangements is proud to announce six local businesses as the official florists of the 2016 Republican National Convention. After an extensive selection process, the Committee on Arrangements has sent six letters to florists from around the Cleveland area. These florists are:
 
• Blooms by Plantscaping, Cleveland, OH
• The Greenhouse, Hudson, OH
• Heatherlily, Cleveland, OH
• Tokar Event Design, Cleveland, OH
• Lowe’s Greenhouse, Chagrin Falls, OH
• Cloud Florist, Cleveland, OH
 
Several months ago 34 area florists were sent a survey. From there, 15 were selected to attend the Convention's Florist Day where each florist provided two displays to be judged. We thank everyone for their involvement and are excited to have these six florists representing Cleveland at the Convention in July.
 
“Floral arrangements bring vibrant colors with a local flair to every Convention,” said Committee on Arrangements CEO Jeff Larson. “We’re very excited about the opportunities for local businesses surrounding our convention and are looking forward to our preparations over the next 74 days.”
