Modern Floral Foundations: The Handheld Bouquet Workshop
SELF-PACED ONLINE WORKSHOP Turn a bucket of loose stems into a bouquet you're truly proud of. A hand-tied, hand-wrapped bouquet is one of my favorite things to make — and it's the skill everything else in flowers is built on. In this workshop I'll walk you through the whole thing, from choosing your stems to tying the spiral to wrapping it up like it came from a shop. You don't need to be a professional florist to make something beautiful. You need a handful of flowers, a pair of sharp snips, and about an hour. WHO THIS IS FOR ✦ Brand new to flowers Start here.
