WEDDING FLOWERSIN BAHRAIN

摘要

I was invited to visit the Kingdom of Bahrain in the Persian Gulf this March, and it was great to leave snowy London and land in 77 degrees. was there to talk to 18 shop owners from Bahrain, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia - all with a keen interest in the flower industry. They were eager to know more about European trends, ways to teach their staff and, most important, how to make more money from their businesses.Organizing the occasion was the dynamic NahlaAlMahmood, who owns LalaBella, a prestigious floral and event-planning company in Muharraq, Qalali, Bahrain. Nahla's aim with LalaBella is to create memorable experiences for her clients, incorporating new andexciting ideas, while running a one-stop shop to supply everything necessary to make events a success: flowers, chocolates, gifts and more. I asked Nahla to tell me about weddings in the Gulf and something of her experience of the floral industry.
