In this hands-on workshop, you’ll design a seasonal bouquet with a matching buttonhole, learning how to coordinate pieces for a cohesive and elegant event look. You’ll practice composition, scale, and finishing techniques to ensure both designs complement each other beautifully.
We’ll explore how to work with seasonal blooms creatively while maintaining balance and cohesion, so your arrangements feel naturally abundant yet thoughtfully composed. Along the way, you’ll pick up practical tips on selecting stems, arranging flowers, and finishing designs with confidence.
Workshops are held at our flower farm in Silvan, where flowers begin in the ground—not in a bucket. You’ll work with locally grown blooms, freshly picked from our farm or thoughtfully sourced from nearby growers, always naturally in season.
By the end of the session, you’ll take home your bouquet and buttonhole, along with the knowledge and confidence to plan, design, and style flowers for weddings and other special occasions.
From the moment you arrive, everything is provided so you can focus on learning, creating, and connecting with the season. Small-group, on-farm sessions are perfect for:
  • Aspiring florists
  • Creatives and flower lovers
  • Career changers exploring floristry
  • Small business owners refining their styling approach
  • Growers expanding into floral design
No prior experience is needed—just curiosity, a love of flowers, and a willingness to get your hands a little dirty.
What you'll get
  • Hands-on guidance to create a seasonal bouquet and matching buttonhole
  • Fresh, locally grown flowers from our Silvan farm or nearby growers
  • Practical tips on arranging stems, balancing texture, movement, and scale
  • Insights into styling flowers for weddings and special occasions
  • Your finished bouquet and buttonhole to take home
Knowledge required
No prior knowledge or skills are required — just a love of flowers and a willingness to learn.
What to bring
Workshops take place both indoors and outdoors on our Silvan flower farm, so we recommend wearing comfortable clothes you don’t mind getting messy, closed-toe shoes, and bringing along a hat, jacket, gardening gloves, and your camera to capture what you create among the blooms.
