Linda & I spent the week at
Koehler & Dramm in Minneapolis, MN taking floral classes...our brains have been competely saturated in flowers, designing, care, and business practices...WE LOVED IT!!! Here are some of our creations:
Making corsages using both wrapped and glued techniques. My favorite was the one made for Leve's hair.
We also got to work on European Handtied Bouquets...what a simple way to make a beautiful arrangement. Our favorites to experiment with were the sleeves of 'grocery store' flowers. Who would have believed they could come together to something so pretty?
Since we were there, Linda and I took advantage of their "Hands on Wednesday" classes on Wednesday evening. There we got to make what we called our "Texas Nosegay"...honestly...this was an arrangement that stood 3 feet tall!
The individual who hosted us had some flowers she had gotten for her birthday that were looking sad, so we refurbished them with just a few roses....flowers are so fun!
A fall bridal bouquet using 'grocery store' sleeves of flowers. Such a great, cost-effective option.
Because roses are such a staple of the industry we learned how to make various arrangements using differing quantities of roses.
Our sympathy arrangements....a great opportunity to hone our bow-making skills.
An example of a waterfall bouquet for a bride. These are currently not a huge trend, but I believe they will definitely be making a big comeback again soon.
