The fun doesn't stop there: every class includes a new project, details and tips on flowers, a Remix
Guide so you can try your own new combos after the lesson, and valuable links so you can learn
more about designers, flowers, and the American flower growing movement. Share your
masterpieces and keep in touch until next time on our closed FaceBook group.
*You will be receiving perishable goods. It is essential that you open your box promptly on delivery and get
your flowers and greens into water. You shuld plan on this on class day or the day before.

style arrangement.

focus on color theory, as we make a heart dish

tough decision!
LESSON THREE March 11 and 13 THE PIN FROG and ART OF IKEBANA Begun thousands of years ago in Japan, Ikebana is a careful, meditative flower arranging endeavor. We will learn two of the ideas of Ikebana and make an arrangement of choice, using the pin frog mechanic. Bring your best zen vibes! LESSON FOUR April 8 and 10 A FINE LINE Learn about working with line flowers and creating a design inspired by the curves and shapes of these blooms that can be an architectural foundation. Talk about balance and symmetry, and how to design for diferent places in your home. LESSON FIVE May 6 and 8 THE MOSS PURSE Prepare a whimsical design using an unusual moss covered container. Learn about spring flowering bulbs and how to design from your yard or the store for color, impact, and long life.

All the flowers and greens you need (and a little extra for later) and the container for that lesson. You will also need your tool kit. DO I HAVE TO TAKE THE CLASSES IN ORDER? No, you can take whatever fits your interest and schedule. WHAT IF I WANT TO DO A CLASS FOR MY PARTY/BOOK CLUB/CHURH GROUP? We are happy to do a custom party for your group, please contact Kirsten to set it up. WHAT IF I DO 3 OR MORE CLASSES? We offer a 10% discount on your total tuition if you book 3 or more classes. CAN YOU SEND THE BLOOM MAGIC BOX IN THE MAIL? Yes, we can! There is an additional charge to cover postage, it varies by location. WHAT ARE THE FLOWERS LIKE? They are premium flowers and foliage with a mix of familiar faces like roses, and things you may not have seen before. Bloom Magic Boxes will have diverse American flowers that can handle the ride to your home. CAN I SHARE A BOX WITH A FRIEND? You will probably be OK sharing a tool kit for 2 people, in the same physical location for the Zoom Workshop. Each person will need their ownn Bloom Magic Box, as the materials are curated and portioned out for a single user. CAN I GIVE BLOOM MAGIC BOXES AS A GIFT? Yes, we have beautiful e-gift cards we can send for you with your message! Please ask Kirsten for details at kirsten@bloommagicweddings, and we will set up your gift. Must be redeemed in 2021. WHAT HAPPENS ON CLASS DAY? As soon as you receive your box, open it up and place your flowers in water. They should drink at least 2 hours before arranging. Directions in the box. Be ready with a work space and your flowers and tools. It's exciting and fun. I have goals to teach you, but the magic is the people interacting with the flowers and each other. It's different every time. See you soon!
