During my in depth presentation, I will explain the why and how to creating this style of design, how to place stems to create balance and apply various design techniques to create loose and airy designs.
You will learn my approach to selecting elevated color palettes, how I choose ingredients and how to troubleshoot common issues that come up for many designers.
Key topics will also include how to choose inspiring ingredients, creating balanced color harmonies and using line and form to create artful centerpieces!
Each student will receive customized feedback on their design work.
As a bonus, you will receive an online centerpiece lesson for you to watch prior to our hands on workshop so you can go back and review the principles we discuss. (Valued at $99.00) This video will be a great primer for the workshop to prepare you for the concepts covered!
Each student will design three centerpieces; a piece with two distinct sides and an "all around" arrangement that still maintains the loose and airy look and a vase arrangement.
We will be focused on foam free mechanics and will be practicing in kenzans (pin frogs), chicken wire and a new alternative in floral foam called Agra wool. Different vessels often call for different mechanics so we will be discussing various centerpiece mechanic techniques to get the best results.
All materials you need for the class will be supplied and will be yours to keep.

Additional Info
I’m Amy, The Floral Coach, and I created my workshops just for floral designers like you.
As a classically trained designer, I worked for many years in a traditional/formal style of design. When I started my own company Amy Nicole Floral, I wanted to create more nature inspired designs with a loose and airy feel but really struggled with the how.
After a lot of frustration and A LOT of money spent, I eventually went back to my training and applied my foundational knowledge of the principles and elements of designs along with core mechanics and cracked the code on loose and airy designs - and now I want to show you how.
There are very few workshops as in-depth and informative as this. Amy was as dedicated to my experience as I was, she is such a kind-hearted leader willing to share her wealth of knowledge through excellent instruction methods and she makes advanced techniques achievable. I am glad I made the decision to travel halfway across the country to attend. I am looking forward to attending another workshop.”
Angela Grandgeorge, Ivy Oaks Floral
“Your Bouquet Bootcamp™ gave me confidence, plain and simple! It keeps reaffirming and teaching the fundamentals that are so critical to bouquet design and keeps me current and fresh with bouquet trends, such as the loose and airy. think your students feel exhilarated after your workshops because what you just taught actually worked and this can be applied over and over again! You take away the ambiguity, occasional questioning, struggles, and self-doubt that often come with bouquet making. I have become much more confident with my bouquet skills and feel absolutely energized! Your workshop is an inspiring and encouraging experience, what you teach works.”
Tonya Jones, Wilding Flowers Co
“I eagerly awaited my opportunity to learn from Amy, and finally got the chance when she visited LA for the one day Bouquet Bootcamp™. I drove 7 hours south from the Bay Area to attend the class and was NOT disappointed. Amy is such a hands-on teacher. I LOVED the lectures and thought they were super digestible. She taught us how to return to bouquet "basics," but with a twist, and I know it’s going to help the health and profitability of my flowers long term. I am heading into the new wedding season with much more confidence and excitement, thanks to what I learned!”
Annie Heath, Ida Blooms
“Very informative! I loved that you made me feel comfortable before I even entered the classroom! I appreciated your vulnerability and I think that helps everyone know that many of us have been through some really tough stuff and that you are sympathetic to the negativity we can sometimes listen to in our heads. The best part of the workshop was the mechanics! It was so freeing to put the bouquet down, walk away, come back and pick it up. It gave me the freedom to let the flowers and move and edit as needed. Flowers moving around in bouquets has always driven me crazy and now this will relieve so much stress, thank you for that!!”
Ranee Nash, Flowers by Ranee
“This workshop was such a valuable investment in my career in floral design. As someone who is still gaining experience in the field and never made a bouquet before, I was so thrilled that I walked away feeling proud of my work, thanks to Amy's thorough and incredibly helpful instruction! Amy has an amazing talent for both design and teaching and is so supportive and kind. Everyone else on staff was great, too. The lectures were very thorough, concise, and insightful. Incredibly helpful! I've never had a designer instruct me on techniques with as much care and attention to detail. The whole experience was really fun, and elevates your motivation and appreciation for the theory of design.”
