Anna Loshakova BFF of the year<\/h2>\n
\n

On November 4, the Bredefleur booth at the Trade Fair Aalsmeer hosted the unveiling of the BFF of the Year Contest 2025. Levi Evers, as one of the judges, announced that Anna Loshakova is the eventual winner. The other judges Hanneke Frankema and Peter van Delft also unanimously agreed that she is the outright winner and that she stood out head and shoulders above the rest.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnna Loshakova's creations look top notch, are innovative, she dares to take risks. The picture is complete with make-up, photography, model, technique used etc. giving it a very beautiful, unique atmosphere,\u201d said jury member Hanneke.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n \n \n \n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n

On Wednesday, November 5, Anna accepted her award in person. What makes it even more special is that her creation for our May BFF of the Month was already on display on the wall of our booth earlier this year.<\/p>\n

Anna says, \u201cWow, I never expected this! I only recently started making floral arrangements and this was my very first competition. I can't believe I've already won, it feels unreal.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n \n \n \n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n
