Flower Workshop

I have been looking for an opportunity to write about the flower workshop I attended with my sweet friend Keana. This girl knows her flowers and has such an eye for beauty, so when she invited me to attend a flower workshop with her in Victoria I jumped at the opportunity. While naturally  I was excited about playing with peonies and ranunculus  I was primarily excited about spending  quality time with her!!!!

We stopped at Union 22 to swoon over beautiful curated rooms filled to the brim with furniture and antiques.

Upon our arrival we were given gift bags filled with gardening gloves, florist tape, wildflower seeds, dried flowers and a sweet card. There was also a table spread of goodies for us to nibble under a  wooden pergola. The event was held at a church that my cousin attends and being there reminded me of the year I assisted her with her church's VBS (vacation bible school). 

I didn't waste any time snapping photos of all the lovely flowers.. Our instructor, Alicia from Alicia's Florals, talked about everything from stem care to how to select blooms. I realized very quickly that I am an amateur when it comes to arranging flowers. The flowers were provided by a local farmer in Victoria by the name of Busy Bee Flowers.

Thankfully there was a photographer on site to capture the event, so I put my camera down and got to work selecting my blooms and arranging then. The following photos were taken by a photographer  named Rachel Alexandra. 

Afterwards we had the opportunity to have our photos taken with our boquets! It's not often that I am on this side of the camera!

Well that was FUN!!!!!
