Philosophy Flowers Workshop

Earlier this spring, I had the absolute pleasure of travelling down to North Carolina to attend Team Flower Workshop. It was run by a woman and florist who I totally admire and respect, Kelly Perry of Philosophy Flowers. I had such an amazing time, meeting other lovely florists and wedding planners and getting to play with beautiful blooms. It was partially heartbreaking to see stunning varieties of flowers that I know just can't grow here or ship in to Manitoba, but I fell for them anyways - who can blame me? I did try my best to only use flowers that I know I can get here easily, but of course some other other blossoms worked their way in here and there!
We were absolutely spoiled by the chance to have our portfolio shot by Heather Payne Photography. Not only is she evidently an amazing film photographer, but she's also a stellar little lady. Quite the doll, and I am so thankful for these beautiful shots! While at the workshop, we worked on our individual portfolios, designing bouquets, centrepieces, and boutonnieres and also worked on several group projects involving a ceremony setting and a tablescape.
One of our guest speakers, Kathryn Godwin of Studio Cultivate, is an incredible artist and she created the beautiful backdrop for the centrepiece image. Here are some of the snaps of my work!
