Intro to Floral Centerpieces Workshop with Elle Sullivan

Design your own summer floral centerpiece in this beginner-friendly class! Join Elle, farmer-florist at Mellifera Flowers, to learn the technical and artistic basics of floral design, and in the process create your own unique centerpiece with local blooms from her farm and other local growers. After learning some color theory basics and design principles, students will dive into the “flower buffet,” selecting ingredients that speak to them. From snapdragons to zinnias, grasses to sunflowers, the available seasonal blooms will guide the design, with artistic encouragement and technical advice from Elle along the way. No previous floral experience is necessary—in fact, you may find a new interest sparked! With the tips and tricks offered in this workshop, students will be able to elevate your farmers’ market, backyard garden, and grocery store bouquets into unique, organic arrangements. This workshop is perfect for gardeners looking to better showcase their blooms, creatives looking for new mediums of expression, or anyone craving more play and self-expression in their life.
