Our assigned project for the second week of Nicole’s Classes Floral Arranging 101 was a “wild English garden” arrangement. I fell a bit short when it came to sourcing flowers and greens (hello… bamboo?), but I tried to follow directions as best I could to create an arrangement with an effortless, not so structured look.
During week 2, I learned about “S” composition in flower arranging, how to make a floral frog out of twigs, and the value of having neighbors who will let you forage in their gardens (I, um… live next door to a bar).
While I’m fairly certain I did not ace the assignment, I am happy with the finished product. I especially love the bright blue campanula and how it spills over the vase.
For week 3 (you can find my week 1 project here), we made floral head wreaths, perfect for Grace’s first Coachella Easter. More on that soon.
Also On Tap for Today:
- Cherishing my final week of maternity leave…
- Love this watercolor-inspired diy gift idea from Minted

Flowers are such a quick and easy way to brighten up any space, plus they always make people smile. Fresh flowers don’t have to be expensive but they make your space feel so open and fresh.
