The World Cup Floral Art 2025 in The Hague reached a sparkling moment with Task 4: A Touch of Rose Gold. In this challenge, the 23 competing designers were given just 60 minutes to showcase their talent and creativity. And they truly delivered.
The assignment? To create a hand-tied bouquet with a single binding point – a task that might sound simple but demands precision, technical skill, and a deep sense of design. To make things even more interesting, each competitor received a surprise package of botanical materials with at least 50 percent with a stem length of 70 cm, a day before the assignment. No planning, no prep work – only raw talent, stunning prepared structures, and on-the-spot creativity.
Adding to the excitement, the organization provided an exclusive vase especially for this competition. It complemented the rose gold theme perfectly and allowed each bouquet to shine once placed inside.
Task 4 World Cup Floral Art – Hand-tied Bouquet With a Touch of Rose Gold
The atmosphere in the competition hall was electric as the designers worked against the clock, balancing form, color, and structure while honoring the one-binding-point rule. The results were nothing short of spectacular – 23 unique interpretations of rose gold beauty, each reflecting the designer’s individual style and vision.
Task 4 reminded everyone watching why the World Cup Floral Art is the ultimate stage for floral design: it celebrates not just technical expertise, but also innovation and the courage to create under pressure. The bouquet must be carried by hand; the judges must be able to take the bouquet out of the container. The vase will be judged as part of the design. And at least 80 percent of living materials must reach the water. And last but not least, it’s the designer’s choice how big they make their bouquet, and what they make when it comes to construction or structure, or framework. It was an exciting view, and everyone is super excited to find out how the 23 designs are being judged: who will be the winner of this task?
