Floral Design: Thanksgiving Centerpieces
With Jaclyn Newns
November 26, 2024
Join Jackie to create a statement floral centerpiece – perfect for your Thanksgiving table! All materials provided: vessels, shears, wire, floral tape, greenery and fresh/dried flowers. We’ll be using the deep, muted hues of the season through fresh flowers, accented with dried elements (lotus pods) and premium greenery (magnolia leaves). Learn how to reflex your roses to really make a sprawling piece! Learn too about sustainable mechanics, like chicken wire to give your piece structure and shape.
A spread of seasonal refreshments will be provided.
Weather dependent, we’ll forage some elements from the property!
