The florist, who has operated in the community since 2011, has received nominations for Bathurst's Favourite Business, Innovation Leader, Business Leader, Excellence In Retail, Excellence in Micro Business, Excellence in Construction and Trades and #keepitlocalbx.
Owner Vanessa Pringle said the number of nominations was an overwhelming result for the business.
"We've pushed hard this year and we didn't expect to secure nominations for all seven categories we entered," Ms Pringle said.
"While awards don't make or break your business at the end of the day, they're certainly a positive feather in the cap."
The nominations follow Vanessa Pringle Floral Designs' success during last year's awards, with the business securing two gongs: Excellence in Retail and Bathurst's Favourite Employee [Anna Smith].
Ms Pringle said the business has been fortunate in maintaining an upward trajectory through trying times for the retail sector.
"The drought has forced a slight increase in flower prices but we do what we can to provide affordable options for our customers," she said.
"There's always challenges, but our business has continued to grow and we're thankful for our wonderful staff and customers."
The Peak Connect Carillon Business Awards will be held at the Bathurst Goldfields on Friday, October 18.
