Vince is Co-Founder and Floral Artisan of Butera The Florist, which opened in 1980 in York, PA. His love of floral design began at age 6 when he crafted centerpieces from cut pine branches in his yard. Now six decades later and a few letters behind his name, Vince is still passionate about his artistry. He and Carolyn, his wife of 42 years, recently fulfilled their dream of living in Maine. They now operate Butera The Florist as a Wedding & Event only business in a studio attached to their circa 1840 sea captain’s home on the Blue Hill Peninsula. The Buteras are Floral Management’s 2015 Marketer of the Year.
