Are you an advanced designer looking to greatly expand your floral artistry and skills? Here's a fantastic opportunity to study with two of the world's most renown floral artists - Elly Lin and Gregor Lersch Floral Design. They will be teaching an immersive 3 Day class at their facility in Rancho Cucamonga from Sept. 30 through October 2.

We had an opportunity to visit one of their classes last year and the workmanship and art was world class! This is a "can't miss" class if you aspire to get to the next level! 😀🌺🌺🌺💚

Do you like contemporary wedding bouquets? Everything old is new again... since these designs were created by Phil Rulloda back in the late '80's for the Teleflora Wedding Selection Guide.

We were inspired to find these photos by Deb Di Bella AIFD, who had remembered them and asked if we had copies. So happy to find them. :)

Do you like unique and contemporary wedding bouquets?
