What you’ll learn in our flower arranging classes
A lot of people assume floral design is “either you have it or you don’t.” Not true. Floral design is a skill, and once you learn a simple framework, you can create something beautiful with confidence.
In our workshops, we teach a practical, repeatable approach to building an arrangement. You’ll learn:
How to choose and balance focal flowers, supporting blooms, and greenery
How to create shape and movement (so your design looks intentional, not crowded)
How to work with stem length, angles, and spacing
How to keep your flowers fresh and happy after class
How to make design decisions based on what’s in season (and what’s actually available)
You’ll also pick up little pro tips along the way: how to prep stems, how to avoid common beginner mistakes, and how to make your arrangement look “full” without overstuffing it.
What’s included (and what you should bring)
We keep it simple: we provide what you need, and you bring yourself.
Included in your workshop:
Fresh flowers and greenery
Design tools used during class
Step-by-step instruction and hands-on help
A finished design to take home
What to bring:
Comfortable clothes (floral design can be a little splashy)
A phone for photos (you’ll want them)
A tote bag if you’d like an extra layer of protection for transporting your flowers
Who these workshops are perfect for
If you’re wondering whether you’ll “fit” in a flower arranging class, the answer is yes. Our classes are for:
Beginners who want to learn the basics
Creative people who want a new medium to play with
Couples and friends looking for a memorable activity
Locals who want a fun, hands-on experience in Silver Spring
Anyone planning a flower arranging party (and wants to test it out before hosting one)
And if you’re coming from Bethesda, Takoma Park, Wheaton, Rockville, or Washington, DC, our Silver Spring studio is a convenient spot to meet up, learn together, and do something different.
You don’t need to be artistic. You don’t need to know flower names. You just need to be open to learning.
Our standard workshop (no theme, all skill-building)
Most of our upcoming classes are our standard floral design workshop. That’s intentional.
A “standard” class gives you the most useful foundation: the kind of skills you can reuse when you buy flowers at the market, pick up a grocery store bouquet, or want to make something special for a dinner party.
Because we work with seasonal blooms, the flowers may change from week to week, but the learning stays consistent. You’ll leave knowing how to:
Build a design with structure
Make your arrangement look balanced and natural
Avoid the most common beginner pitfalls
If you’re looking for a flower arranging class in Silver Spring that’s actually practical (and not just a one-time craft), start here.
Featured upcoming class: Flower Crown Workshop (late June)
If you want something a little different, we also have a Flower Crown class near the end of June.
This workshop is perfect for:
Bridal showers
Birthday celebrations
Graduation season
A fun “girls’ night” activity
Anyone who wants a wearable floral moment
You’ll learn how to build a crown that feels secure and comfortable, how to choose blooms that hold up well, and how to create a look that fits your style.

A quick note on floral history (and why it matters)
You might be surprised to learn that floral design has deep roots in celebration and community. Across cultures and time periods, flowers have been used to mark milestones, decorate gathering spaces, and communicate emotion.
That’s part of why workshops feel so meaningful: you’re not just learning a technique. You’re participating in a tradition of making beauty on purpose.
And the best part? You don’t need a special occasion to do it.
