WEDDINGS 101
Sydney, Australia
January 12-13, 2013
10am-5pm
10am-5pm
This is an intensive weekend-long symposium for those looking
to further their floral work specifically in the realm of weddings and events. Individually
in their own respective floral studios Sarah and Nicolette have designed and
produced hundreds of weddings and parties. Their goal in this advanced level
class is to share the methodology, tips, and tricks that have made their
studios successful. Topics covered include:
In a relaxed round table approach, we’ll discuss client relations, consultations, proposal writing, budgeting, and the art of working with wedding planners.
Preparing...
Nicolette
and Sarah will share case studies of events and review practices on flower
budgeting and ordering. In addition, they will discuss in depth the advantages
of working seasonally, share tips on flower conditioning (and when not to
condition), ideas for containers, and discuss props and rentals.
Making...
A large portion of the
weekend will be devoted to hands-on floral lessons. Nicolette and Sarah’s
wedding designs are known for their loose, romantic and somewhat unstructured
approach. Special emphasis will be placed on the nuances of layering color and
texture.
Lessons included: The art of composing distinctive bridal
bouquets (students should expect to make a bouquet, and then make it again)
building centerpieces, crafting boutonnieres, tricks for constructing hair
pieces and crowns, and techniques for avoiding wrist corsages.
The weekend’s work will finish Sunday afternoon with a photo
session aimed at capturing student’s hard work for their portfolios.
Cost of workshop including materials, lunches and coffee
breaks is $2,600
Limited to 12 students.
No!!! I mean, that's awesome for you guys, but I was dying to take your next wedding 101 class. Set money aside for it and everything. But I can't afford the class, and a $3000 plane ticket. Sigh. Have a great time, but please do another NYC wedding class soon!!!
ReplyDeleteany clue as to which part of Sydney this is going to be? Sydney really sprawls, and the distance from the airport, accommodation etc is a bit of a consideration....

Sounds amazing! Hope all goes well! I would jump at the chance to take part in this class at some point, so if you'd ever like to travel to Ireland or the U.K you can be sure there'd be lots of eager people willing to sign up!
