At Lake Forest Flowers, floral design is both a passion and an art. The gift of a one-on-one private class for a friend – or for you, a ‘ladies night out’ event, or hands-on garden club program offers a wonderful opportunity to learn about floral design. Participants will work with an array of fresh seasonal flowers and other fresh & hard materials imported from around the world, discovering how to create one-of-a-kind designs. It is Lake Forest Flowers’ pleasure to share with you or your guests or members, some of the secrets to making flowers look exceptional, and explore the artistry of design.
Our hands-on floral design workshops are fun and informative. Whether alone, with a friend or a group, we promise you an exciting evening and memorable experience. Workshops generally run 60- 90 minutes long – we provide all of the necessary materials for you to creatively compose a beautiful bouquet, which is yours to keep. Please register by phone or online. Refunds will be available to cancellations up to 24 hours in advance.
We are also available for on site workshops for bridal showers, birthday parties, Girl Scout troop education or ladies night out! Home of the trending “Floral Crown” birthday party for kids! Check out our facebook page for more pictures.
