This is an introductory class on designing flowers on a miniature scale & includes floral arranging in tiny vases, flowers for special people at special events & weddings: Mothers, Fathers, Groomsmen, Prom, Grad etc. – Boutonnieres, Corsages, a Flower Crown & other magical things…

Miniatures look like they ought to be easy – like a walk in the park – but they take a little know-how and some finesse! You’ll discover the how-to’s – from traditional boutonnieres to “garden-treasure-style” (pictured here), corsages – both wrist and pin as well as a new trend – nosegays for Mother-of-the-Bride – all French-braided with beautiful ribbons!

Get ready to rumble – we will be taking in a lot this evening!

Classic structured centrepieces, tables scapes & sweet hand-tied arrangements – we will be covering a lot of territory!

All with the seasons best flowers and foliage – who could resist!

Hand-woven Garlands – is our signature item!

It was while filming her TV Show “A Day in the Country” way back when, that Elaine learned how to make a garland by machine – kinda like a sewing machine – with a top & bobbin thread.

This inspired her to figure out how to do it by hand. It is now the number one feature for weddings – at the ceremony or best – at the head-table. It also looks great as a decorative for your home – fireplace, bannister or over a hutch.

You’ll learn how to select, prepare & condition flowers.

You will start with a Tussy-Mussy (fancy name for a small Flower-girl size bouquet). You’ll learn how to tuck the flowers together “just so”, to create that Pinterest-worthy look!
