What an honor to be a small part of such a special Minster tradition! 🌸🇩🇪
I was so grateful to create the 2026 Miss Oktoberfest bouquet and to contribute to a tradition that means so much to our community and celebrates our German heritage.
This bouquet was grown right here at Rosebud Flower Farm and designed with the beauty of the fall harvest in mind. Rich burgundy and w**e, soft blush, creamy white, and touches of purple came together with dahlias, zinnias, snapdragons, celosia, foxglove, ageratum, feverfew, gomphrena, cinnamon basil, and Mahogany Splendor. The dahlias offer a special nod to their long history of cultivation in Germany, while the tall, feathery celosia brings a beautiful wheat-like harvest feel to the design.
A very special thank you to Brooke Cordonnier and Jamie Piening, who lead the Miss Oktoberfest committee, for trusting me to create the bouquet for such a wonderful occasion. And a big thank you to Becky Baumer, our Miss Oktoberfest emcee, for doing such a wonderful job leading the program and celebrating all of the contestants. It truly meant so much to me and to Rosebud Flower Farm to play a small part in this special Minster tradition. ❤️
Congratulations to our 2026 Miss Oktoberfest Queen, Evelyn Hanson! 👑 You looked absolutely beautiful carrying the bouquet, and I hope your year as Miss Oktoberfest is filled with so many wonderful memories! And a big congratulations to all of the lovely Miss Oktoberfest candidates! Each of you represented our community so beautifully.
There is something pretty special about seeing flowers grown right here in Minster become part of a celebration of our community, heritage, and traditions. So grateful for this opportunity!
Prost! 🌸🇩🇪
