Soft Spring Floral Design

Welcome spring with a fresh, contemporary floral design focused on movement, texture, and seasonal color. In this hands-on class, you’ll create a modern basket arrangement using an asymmetrical floral foam design enhanced with wire netting for structure and visual interest.

We’ll begin with a brief demonstration covering modern floral principles, including balance, negative space, and intentional placement, then you’ll design your own piece using a curated selection of spring flowers in soft pastel tones. This class emphasizes creativity and personal expression while offering guidance throughout the process.

Perfect for those interested in exploring a more modern floral style with a traditional foundation, this class is approachable for beginners while still engaging for those with some design experience.
