During the floral design event Fleuramour in Alden Biesen floral designer Lana Bates was asked to decorate the church.

Together with her team she made a gorgeous design and created a beautiful ambiance and atmosphere giving most visitors instant goosebumps on entering the church.

We have followed the creation from the start and in this article you can see step by step how the church was decorated.

Our lives are just a moment between past and future. Such a short moment full of happiness and sorrow, hopes and losses and hopes again! This project is my vision of capturing the fragility of the time given to us, a chance to fill our souls with love and hope.
