Early this summer I was contacted by Teofiel Molcut, who is the publisher and editor of Florists Only, a Romanian magazine aimed at professionals. After answering questions via email and sending off a selection of favorite pictures, I was so honored and excited to find out recently that our conversations had resulted in this article. Thank you Teo!

Last week's 3 day wedding/event workshop was so much fun! Jessica and Natalie were from Portland. Laurie came from California and Elizabeth traveled from Texas and they both stayed at nearby B&B's. 

As usual, it didn't matter that there were different levels of experience. Everyone was so talented and created fabulous arrangements. It was such a pleasure to share a lot of information and spend 3 days with all of you!

Thank you Laurie, for documenting the workshop! Here is a sample of everyone's work
