THE ART OF HAND-TIED BOUQUETS
Date: Saturday, June 25, 2022
Time: 2:00- 4:00PM
Location: Gardenside Blooms | Kaysville UT
There’s magic in making a bouquet in your hand and then, with sweeping flare, putting it in a vase for a perfect arrangement! Come learn the art of crafting a European-style hand-tied bouquet with the bounty from Gardenside. This technique is timeless and one that we use at Gardenside Blooms to create our gorgeous, textural, relaxed bridal bouquets. We also use this technique to make many of our wedding centerpieces. But you don’t have to have a wedding on your calendar to enjoy mastering hand-tied bouquets. This technique is also very “handy” to know if you’re making a bouquet to take to a friend in the hospital or to take a oh-ah-worthy hostess gift to the next party. You will be led through a detailed demonstration. Students will then craft their own bouquets and can choose to finish them with wide ribbon and tissue wrap or place them in cylinder vase for an easy-breezy arrangement to take home.
