“Hard work and through preparation days ahead of the festival were key to our win,” said Vandana.

An orange flower arrangement titled Mohe Range De Basanti, white lily arrangement titled Saadgi, dry and fresh flower arrangement named Beauty and the Beast, and other arrangements titled Udte Parinde and Ghar Vaspsi had an emotional impact on guests and judges, and helped the two teachers win big.
