Stunning floral millinery, jewelry, purses and shoes will set your designs apart. Delicate fascinators or bolder headpieces will be eye catching and wouldn’t it be refreshing to make flower rings, earrings or necklaces for the bridal party instead of the more traditional corsages? After demonstrations you will interpret the techniques and create your own lush or simple designs, choosing from a plethora of flowers, striking foliages, succulents, seedpods, berries and other textures.

Botanical purses are a great alternative to hand-tied bouquets for the bride, bridesmaids or flower girls. Learn to create designs that imitate the elaborate style of haute couture. These exquisite , detailed clutches or handbags are also perfect for bistro table decorations, as are elegant stiletto shoes decorated with botanical treasures. Or you can pair a shoe and purse for the centerpieces of round or long tables at the reception. These fairytale slippers also can be worn!
