Originated in 1942, Floral Exhibits has been the leading plant and floral tradeshow provider throughout the United States and has worked in all of the major convention centers nationwide. Floral Exhibits has been the plantscape provider for the International Housewares Association (IHA) since 2003, adding that special touch, not only to the show floor and lounge areas, but also to specific booths. Supplying floral arrangements, plants, booth enhancements, coverings, custom designs, dividers and eco friendly accents, Floral Exhibits awes clients and attendees alike.
In the past, Floral Exhibits produced an over the top indoor garden called “Patio Park” for IHA, at McCormick Place. Complete with verdant foliage, blossoming floral, faux rocks and a bellowing fountain! Attendees rested 
their feet in this cool and relaxing environment, while shopping the show. Floral Exhibits and IHA are continuously thinking of new ideas to attract and assist visitors.
Not only is Floral Exhibits a plant provider, but they also offer on and off premise event design and decor. In 2008, Floral Exhibits became a division of Kehoe Designs, an innovative, full-service event décor and design company specializing in gala fundraisers, corporate functions, luxury weddings, social parties and festivals in the U.S. and abroad. Kehoe Designs offers: custom artwork & graphics, fabric solutions, floral design & fine detail, furniture collections, lighting environments and plantscapes.
In the winter of 2011, Kehoe Designs created the décor for the Global Innovator Award (GIA) Gala, held at the Four Seasons Hotel. Each year Kehoe Designs is challenged to incorporate the GIA award statues into the centerpieces. Thus, this intimate thirty-one table event incorporated playful garden inspired floral and literally connected each floral arrangements to an award (or two) with flexi grass and silver wire. Also a photo opportunity panel was custom designed with the new GIA logo, to perfectly publicize the gala and its’ attendants.
The day after GIA, Kehoe Designs set up and designed the annual Housewares Charity Gala at the Hilton Hotel Chicago. The ‘Housewares Has Heart’ tagline was displayed throughout the ballroom, with a rose pink and gunmetal palette of linens and floral, plus variations of the logo printed onto vases, bar fronts and auction tables. The silent auction included celebrity chefs showcasing new appetizers and treats on a variety of Kehoe Designs’ custom graphic bars. The one-hundred-eighteen dining tables, for top houseware industry professionals, consisted of hot pink hydrangea and pale pink roses, within clear glass vessels, hosting the gala logo.
Floral Exhibits and Kehoe Designs are the perfect combination for your IHA tradeshow and event needs. Whether you desire an intimate booth reception, a small dinner party, an exotic cocktail reception, or a large scale company anniversary party, they will create a memorable experience for you and your guests.
