You’ll leave with the skills, confidence, and creativity to design like a pro.
“I was so privileged to attend a workshop on arranging flowers. The workshop was amazingly clear and made an amateur like me feel comfortable and skilled. Niki did a beautiful job and the arrangements they make are so stunning - natural and gorgeous. Not like some florist who make everything looks so prescribed. Highly recommend Flourish Flower Farm.”
What will you experience?
We'll begin our time together in the morning with a quick overview of floral design principles and color theory. Then, Niki will demonstrate how to design a hand-tied bridal bouquet (which has many more uses than just a bridal bouquet!). We will have a huge display of flowers and foliage for you to begin designing your own bouquet, with one-on-one support and guidance throughout the entire process! After a catered lunch, we will design large scale statement arrangements. You can also stroll through the fields and snip to your heart’s content. We intentionally limit attendance so that the entire experience is personal and intimate.
Our goal is for you to express your creativity using flowers and enjoy the view of our farm. If you are planning a DIY wedding, this is a great way to gain some skills to use in designing your own wedding flowers. No prior floral design experience is necessary!
What's included?
We provide a delicious catered lunch made with seasonal, locally grown ingredients. An abundance of beautiful, farm-grown flowers and all tools, supplies, a keepsake vase and photography of your designs are provided. Class runs from 9am-4pm.
