workshop

This is the bouquet that i did for a collaborated shoot with Opie, that has been featured on the Opie blog as well as Utah Bride N Groom blog.

This shabby chic vintage style bouquet has been a hit! Something I created based on the inspiration the location of the shoot provides, {Details in Sugarhouse}. This was also one of my complimentary giveaway bouquets. It consisted of garden roses, peonies, ranucs, dusty miller & lisianthus. vintage blue ribbon wrapped it up!

And with that I think its time to put some workshop options out there ...

As many of my readers, clients, peers, etc. know I am a big believer in education, I seek and attend educational endeavors to better my own skills and craft on a regular basis. I also really enjoy teaching & sharing the wealth. I have been thinking long and hard about what I might have to offer in way of workshop education for the 2010 year, there has been a lot of interest in the last month or so via email and office calls, thanks for your patience while I contemplated how to best serve you! Last year I offered workshops that mainly involved doing a small wedding with Studio Stems, this year I think your tuition could be maximized by me coming to you!

In 2010 I am approaching education just like I approach working with my clients, in a very CUSTOM way. So all workshops will be tailored for the student based on their needs, therefor pricing will also vary and be tailored. But I promise that I will be reasonable and affordable. I am looking to primarily educate those outside of my immediate proximity and I am willing to travel within the U.S. That being said I love my home state and the artists who work here, so please still contact me if your interested, and also keep in mind how heavily interested I am in organizing a summit locally.

The concept: I do a wedding with you, your studio, or your shop as your mentor/employee/educator. While doing so I'll evaluate your process and help you perfect in both business, flower care & design. These workshops will last anywhere from 2-4 days based on each participants needs and can include and are not limited to ... pre design education and help for the scheduled event, order organization, market evaluation, marketing techniques, website/blog evaluation, client contracts, client interaction, client education, employee interaction, associate interaction & contracts, time maximization, finding inspiration & design, flower care, hydration, cooling, design concepts, floral production, bouquets, worn bridal party, aisle/ceremony, decor, centerpieces, on site interactions, client follow up and exposure for your great wedding completed.

Because Studio Stems is heavily booked in the summer season contacting me with your interest level and dates relatively soon may be a good idea. I can only come if I am not already booked! IF your interested please email me with your name, web and or blog address, email, phone number, event date or dates that your interested in, event details, where your at in the designing of that event, what you wish to learn, and the location of course. I will then thereafter be in contact and we will fine tune out the details of maximizing your floral education experience.

I look forward to working on your events & sharing the wealth!
