The Bal Harbour Shops were filled with the vibrant colors of the Fleurs de Villes, where thousands of fresh flowers were skillfully crafted into captivating designs by some of South Florida’s finest florists. The space was transformed with numerous mannequins, each inspired by renowned female artists such as Yayoi Kusama and Georgia O’Keeffe. This year’s theme, Artiste, celebrates International Women’s Month, with special events and activations planned throughout the exhibition to showcase the breathtaking installations florally sponsored by Jet Fresh Flower Distributors, Jet Fresh Flower Growers and Details.
