HANDS-ON TRAINING
Dreaming of Creating Your Own Wedding Flowers?
You have the Pinterest board. You've saved the tutorials. And somewhere along the way you thought...
"I could totally do my own wedding flowers."
And you absolutely can with the right preparation.

You'll learn how to create a bridal bouquet, wedding centerpiece and boutonnière while gaining a practical understanding of flower selection, processing, tools, mechanics, storage and care.
But we're going beyond the pretty part.
Stephanie will also walk you through the real-world wedding-day logistics most online tutorials leave out: when to purchase your flowers, how much time you'll actually need, how to keep everything fresh, what can be made ahead, how to transport your designs and what you should—and probably shouldn't—DIY.
You'll Learn
How to select flowers for your wedding
Flower processing, conditioning and proper care
Essential floral tools and mechanics
How to create a bridal bouquet
How to create a wedding centerpiece
How to make a boutonnière
What can be designed ahead of time
How to store and transport finished arrangements
How to create a realistic wedding-week floral timeline
Common DIY wedding flower mistakes and how to avoid them
Beautiful Flowers. No 2 A.M. Floral Meltdown Required.
Our goal isn't simply to teach you how to make something beautiful.
It's to give you the knowledge and confidence to decide what you can realistically create yourself—and a plan for getting it done without turning the days before your wedding into floral chaos.
No floral experience necessary. Just bring your wedding ideas and come ready to create.
