e "Bespoke Garden Style" is currently the hottest trend
in fl oral design. While new to many younger designers,
this was the popular design style at the beginning of the
20th century and was popularized by Constance Spry,
the legendary high-society British fl oral designer,
educator and author, from 1929 to 1960. e casual,
relaxed style focuses on cuttings from the garden
and old-fashioned, blousy blooms and is incorporates
structural armatures, appealing to eco-conscious fl oral
designers and consumers alike.
Workshop attendees will study the history of this
design style as well as the tools, techniques and
mechanics used in creating arrangements in the style.
ey will also design both centerpieces and hand-held
bouquets using a fabulous collection of seasonal, exotic
and textural botanicals.
