Autumn BLOOM Floral design class

We had a great time on a VERY chilly November night making handtied bouquets in our last BLOOM class.  This spiral technique takes some concentration and some practice, and everyone did a great job - beautiful spirals by the end of the evening, and some lovely orchids, roses, berries, and seasonal foliages to make for a lovely piece to brighten the evening.  Wonderful job everyone, hope to see you again soon!  

Thank you Stevie B. Photography for these beautiful images!

Flower Class with Bloom

Still enjoying these spring blooms that we designed in a Bloom Florist Collective floral design class a week ago!  I really need the reminder of spring as it's pouring down snow outside my window - boo!  For this class, we used a cheerful and elegant mix of peach juliet garden roses, burgundy snapdragons, yellow tulips, daffodils, and freesia, solidago and pieris japonica.  We have more classes scheduled so you can get your spring on!  www.bloomclass.com  

Centerpiece at home

This was such a great Floral Design 101 class with Bloom Florist Collective!   I demonstrated using this footed compote dish, and each participant brought their own vase from home and we discussed different approaches to filling it.  View the rest of the class' beautiful creations here.  I loved this collection of protea, banksia, leucadendron, eryngium, tulips, and mimosa - I'm so glad I walked this centerpiece home in the snow that evening after class - I've been enjoying it on my dining table so much!  Come on spring!
