There are milestone projects you always hope to do, and creating custom equestrian parade florals has been a bucket list goal of mine for years. Getting to design one for a stage as huge as the historic Portland Rose Festival Grand Floral Parade and seeing it broadcasted on television was an incredible experience! 🌸🐴📺
This project was a true labor of love. Every single piece was completely handmade, from the garland to every single flower individually wired to ensure it was perfect and secure for the ride.
Thank you lewiscountyrodeocourt and our 2026 Rodeo Queen, Kylee Smith, for giving me this opportunity to help represent the Lewis County Rodeo Association and the Southwest Washington Fair.
