Out of Office: Floral Arranging 101

Last week, our team had the opportunity to learn how to arrange beautiful flowers from pro, Amy Backman of Spruce Flowers and Home! Spruce's "living with flowers" class taught us everything we need to know to make our very own home arrangement {with the help of gorgeous pinks and greens, compliments of Spruce}. Amy shared with us her floral arranging bits and tips including how to select the just-right flowers and vase, how to accurately cut the stems, and the ins and outs to proper flower placement. Thanks more here to Amy for sharing her secrets–we can't wait to put our new skill to the test by arranging one of our very own! Check out some behind the scenes shots from our Living With Flowers class captured by the talented Molly Smith Photography.
