Open House 2014:
FEATURE DESIGNER / PRESENTER
Vincenzo Butera AAF, AIFD, PFCI
Vince began in the floral
industry at age 15. Following
graduation from Delaware
Valley College in Doylestown,
PA with a business degree in
Ornamental Horticulture, he
opened Butera The Florist as a
wedding and event business in
1980. The Butera’s opened a full service retail florist in
1986, and over the decades redefined and moved their
business a few times to evolve with the changing
marketplace. In 2014, the Buteras joined the renaissance of
their hometown city and located Butera The Florist in
beautiful Downtown York. The circa 1860 historic building
showcases the exquisite wedding artistry BTF brides and
grooms have valued for more than three decades.
Vince is not only a local florist; he is also involved in the
floral industry as a whole. Vince Butera is recognized by all
three of the industry’s highest accreditations: American
DILLON
FLORAL
CORPORATION
®
Institute of Floral Designers (AIFD), Professional Floral
Communicators-International (PFCI) and the American
Academy of Floriculture (AAF). He is a floral design
teacher/entertainer to both consumer groups and floral
professionals. He currently serves on the SAF Retailer
Council and recently served as PFCI Chairman of the Board
of Trustees. His design programs have been enjoyed by many
Federated Garden Clubs, civic groups, Philadelphia Flower
Show attendees, Pennsylvania Garden Show of York visitors,
and have been televised live from the PA Farm Show. Vince
has traveled around the country presenting educational and
motivational programs to floral professionals, and has been
featured in a number of floral trade magazines.
A dedicated and loving husband and dad, Vince and his
wife, Carolyn, were married in 1979 and together have
raised four children. A variety of talents evidenced in the
fields of art, music, science, innovation, design, education,
entrepreneurship, community development, writing, and
compassion ministry can be found in the Butera families.
