WinMock at The Winston-Salem Flower School

A few weeks ago, we sent one of our very own team members, Rebecca Kearns, to the Winston-Salem Flower School! As soon as the announcement was made that these classes would be available, we just knew we had to be a part of it.

Amy Lynne Originals is an incredibly talented industry partner of ours, and we simply could not wait to learn from one of the top professionals in our area.

After a little small talk over delicious pastries and creamy coffee, we jumped right in and found our spots in the workshop!

The class focused on learning how to create an arrangement using compote vessels that were provided, along with other fun goodies like our own Winston-Salem Flower School apron and shears. Flowers, greenery, and even fruit options were nearly endless–silver dollar and seeded eucalyptus, curly willow, kangaroo paw, ranunculas, and garden spray roses were our favorite picks.

We learned to start with creating the lines of the arrangement–vertical, horizontal, or a little of both–and then add your anchor pieces, which were large gorgeous garden roses, in our case!

It was so inspiring to learn tips and tricks of the trade as well as gain insight into the beautiful floral work we have come to love and adore.

With the demonstration and question and answer session over, we jumped right in. Creating lines, snipping stems, carefully choosing the perfect color palate, and getting creative–it was a glorious morning!

What an amazing experience it was to meet and mingle with ladies from our very own community while learning from the best–we absolutely cannot wait to do it again!
