This is hands-down one of our most requested topics, and there's a good reason for it!
Whether you want to design something simple with flowers from your garden, or create something stunning for a bride, handheld bouquets are a fun and flexible way to experiment with color, texture and shape. This two day Ponderosa Master class will help you gain a deeper understanding of floral design as we discuss the value of flowers, and share three bouquet styles using straightforward techniques. Once we're done, you'll have the knowledge to create beautiful and unique bouquets over and over again!
This class is open to learners of all skill levels in floristry.
We look forward to seeing you in Oregon!
