Canadian Stephen Gogolev takes the Gold at Grand Prix Finals

As part of our ongoing role as the Official Florist of Skate Canada, Bloomex was happy to supply flowers and teddy bears for the ISU Grand Prix Finals in Vancouver! Our floral team created red and white themed bouquets that included fresh holiday greens for the top 3 finalists in each category. Bloomex also supplied flowers and fresh pine and cedar boughs to give the VIP lounge some holiday beauty, as well as fresh hydrangea centrepieces for the Official Dinner.
