floral crowns in february

Last month, I had the pleasure of teaching a floral crown workshop. This winter has been brutal on New Jersey, especially the week that we held the workshop. Spring flowers were needed to lift our spirits, and that is exactly what they did! It was hosted by Stef, Erica and Jenn of Bits & Pieces Vintage Rentals at their warehouse. To say I was impressed is a huge understatement. The space and pieces are gorgeous!

The photos were taken by Adeline of You Look Lovely Photography. Her photo talent is impeccable.

I had the pleasure of teaching a winter wreath making class that was hosted by Bits and Pieces Rentals at Murray & Finn in downtown Summit, New Jersey. It was a lovey evening!

The wreath ingredients to choose from:

The fragrance from the evening was tantalizing! Fresh cedar, bay leaves, white pine and eucalyptus mixed with the scent of hot cocoa.

Me and the final wreath!

The ladies at Murray and Fin and Bits and Pieces Rentals did an amazing job. They sure know how to throw a party. The food and drinks were so tasty and the camp-out theme was pinterest worthy.

A finished wreath! The evening was truly a delight. We enjoyed chatting and laughing well into the evening. I was so impressed by how everyone's wreaths came out. I will be teaching some more workshops in the near future so stay tuned!

floral corsages with anthropologie

 

I had the honor of hosting a DIY Mother's Day workshop at Anthropologie in Montclair, New Jersey last Thursday evening! In honor of Mother's Day, we made some lovely dried floral corsages. The team at the Montclair location went above and beyond to set the scene for a great group of ladies who attended. We sat cozy on their second floor surrounded by large old pained windows, exposed brick and anthro merchandise eyecandy.

 

First I demonstrated how to use and twist florist tape onto a stem. Then the ladies were given free reign to choose focal flowers, accent flowers, and greens for added texture to their corsages. They also had different ribbons and twine to choose from to wrap their stems and tie bows with.

The finished corsages were placed  in a box and adorned with homemade tags the ladies made.

Gorgeous photos, no?!

 

To say that I enjoyed myself is an understatement. It was such a fun and intimate evening! Thank you to all of the Ladies who came out and also to those at the Anthropologie store and headquarters who worked hard to bring this event to life.

All of the dreamy photos were taken by talented Casey McDaniel Photography, thank you Casey!
