On Saturday in Port Hercule, Her Royal Highness Princess Caroline of Hanover, His Serene Highness Prince Albert II of Monaco, Miss Mélanie-Antoinette de Massy, and the Minister of the State of the Principality of Monaco, Mr. Christophe Mirmand, attended the 57th edition of the Concours International de Bouquets at the Yacht Club de Monaco.

Established in 1968 by the late Princess Grace of Monaco, the annual floral competition is organized by the Garden Club of Monaco, of which Princess Caroline serves as President.

The theme of this year’s competition was Celeste, with floral artists drawing inspiration from celestial imagery, light, and atmospheric phenomena through a series of elaborate botanical compositions.

According to organizers, participants from multiple countries, including professional floral designers, amateur exhibitors, and young competitors, presented works across seven themed categories inspired by storms, eclipses, lunar illumination, and the northern lights.

During the event, Princess Caroline, Prince Albert II, Miss de Massy, and Minister Mirmand toured the exhibition stands and met with participants alongside members of Monaco’s cultural and civic community.

The competition concluded with the presentation of several distinctions, including Gold, Silver, and Bronze Insignia awards, the Grand Prix Général, and the Princess Grace of Monaco Prize.
