FLORALS
You will begin with two floral demonstrations. Dawn of the Nature of Things will show you how to design her signature bridal bouquets. She’ll also review techniques for creating a bespoke centerpiece and guide you through your creation. This is a unique learning opportunity that will inspire your future floral designs. We provide all the flowers, a vase, and all the supplies needed. You should expect to walk away with a stunning arrangement (designed by you!), new knowledge about florals, lunch, wine, and some new friends.
ADDITIONALLY, you will receive professional headshots from MCP. Mariela will also capture photos of your beautiful bouquet with our model/bride. Your centerpieces will be photographed on our curated tablescape.
We can't wait to see you there!
