Join me in creating a lush and dreamy installation that works well for a ceremony site yet captures the fresh whimsy of a fashion editorial. Once our installation is complete, we’ll be joined by our model decked out in full bridal ensemble for a stunning photoshoot.

Workshop Overview:

Installation:  After a brief demo and instruction from me, we will all work together to create an installation including a trailing cloud and thickets from a curated selection of sumptuous spring blooms. Learn to work with larger spaces to create harmonies of color, texture and form.

As we work, I’ll be available for Q&A, tips, and one-on-one assistance.

Styling the scene:  With our flower installation as the anchor of a floral tableau, we will now set the stage for a photoshoot. Touching on fashion as well as bridal trends to imbue our shoot with a fresh creative edge, we’ll create a floral story full of intrigue & romance!

Photoshoot: Featuring 2 models in gowns by Atelier des Modistes, you’ll observe and assist on the actual photoshoot creating amazing images for your floral portfolio.
