We love to receive a delivery of those artfully crafted bouquets, don’t we? Inspired by their beauty, we think “I could do that... I could make a beautiful arrangement like that...” And then, the reality... an awkward cluster of drooping blooms that just doesn’t quite “get there.” If that sounds familiar, put this night on your calendar and register early to get your spot! Using fresh flowers, Courtney will wow us with basic floral arranging techniques as well as some interesting points about the flowers we’re using. The end result will be a beautiful bouquet to take home! Materials fee of $20 (cash please) is payable to the instructor at class.
