About this workshop
Ready to escape to paradise—without leaving town? Our Tropical Vacation Vase class is a floral design experience bursting with color, personality, and summer energy. You’ll explore exotic tropical blooms like Birds of Paradise, Anthurium, and Ginger while learning to create an arrangement that feels like it belongs at your favorite island resort.
This mid-level class is perfect for flower lovers who are ready to go beyond the basics. Whether you’re new to floral design or have some experience under your belt, this class invites you to take your creativity to the next level.
In this hands-on workshop, we’ll dive into the exciting world of tropical floral design. Tropical flowers have bold lines, dramatic silhouettes, and intense color palette so they require a different approach than softer, more familiar blooms. You’ll learn how to work with these expressive flowers in a way that celebrates their unique shapes and structures, while also keeping your design balanced and intentional.
Your instructor will demonstrate techniques step by step, explaining how to plan and place each element using core design principles like line, proportion, and visual weight. You can choose to follow the demonstrated design exactly or use the same flowers and materials to explore your own vision. Our friendly teaching team will be right there to offer support and guidance as you create.
Along the way, you’ll also pick up tips for selecting, prepping, and maintaining tropical flowers, so you can continue experimenting with these exciting materials after class ends. Whether you're drawn to the bold colors, the sculptural forms, or the vacation-inspired vibes, this class is all about unleashing your floral creativity.
