WHEN & WHERE:
20th-21st May, 2026 10am-4pm - Parsons Green, London, England.
WHAT:
Two days designing with colour with two distinct floral designers. We will focus on specific colour palettes each day, created to push your knowledge & understanding of how to weave colour into floral design.
Day 1, we will work on bouquet design, as well as a statement vase design. After each piece, you will have time to capture your work.
In our morning session, Karis will demonstrate her signature bouquet design and then lead you in creating your own carefully considered bouquet designs. After a light lunch, India will demonstrate how she creates her statement vase design and then guide you as you create your own. After both sessions you will be encouraged to capture your pieces, with tips and encouragement from India and Karis.
Day 2, we will focus on designing centrepieces and tablescape styling, with a focus on photography and capturing your work.
In our morning session, both Karis and India will demonstrate their approaches to creating centrepieces, with a focus on building a styled tablescape. You will then be guided in creating your own centrepieces, one large and one smaller. After a light lunch, in the afternoon session, you will build on your designs by layering and styling them into a tablescape, each of you will have the opportunity to create your own tablescape. Karis will then demonstrate and discuss how to capture your work with a focus on how best to photograph the pieces you have created. Karis captures her work in digital and film formats, and has a unique approach to photography which she will share with each of you.
*Tickets can be purchased separately for each design day, but we invite you to attend both to get the most out of this experience*
Vervain: Located in Worcestershire in the UK, India and Chris travel across the country and further afield designing for weddings and events. India approaches growing and designing with flowers as an art, creating wild and considered designs. Vervain creates floral chaos, orchestrated by nature.
Karis: Based in central California, Karis specialises in creating floral art with local, seasonal ingredients for weddings & events across the West coast and beyond. Her floral education is rooted in traditional artistry principles blended with her love of nature and what can be found outdoors during any given season.
