It was another great wedding workshop in the studio!
After spending three days in the flower heaven that is Françoise's studio, it was so hard to leave! This class was exactly what I was looking for and Françoise is exactly the teacher that I'd hoped for. It was a perfect blend of useful conversation, hands-on playtime, and awe inspiring demos. Françoise is so open and willing to share her experiences out of a genuine desire to help aspiring designers like myself learn the realities of the floral business while also gaining the courage to follow their dreams. It was profound enough of an experience that I expect to look back 5 years from now and credit her class for changing my life forever. Thank you, Françoise! – Tonya Ray

It was such a pleasure to participate in a photo shoot last month. As the set-up was under a lone oak tree, it seemed that a bird’s nest theme would be a fun choice.
Deyla Huss Photography came up with the photo shoot concept and she invited fabulous vendors to participate:
Decor: Becky Simpson with No Ordinary Affair
Cake:Renae Heineck with Custom Cakes
Invitations: Angelina Koeppen with Water Lily Invitations
Make up: Jennifer Rand with Face Body Beauty
Thank you so much Deyla for the great pictures!
