Floral arrangement in silver vase with white, yellow, purple flowers on dark table against light wall.

Learn how to make Martha Stewart–worthy floral arrangements like the ones you see on social media!

Join floral designer Althea Wiles for a hands-on class where you’ll create your own elegant arrangement in a footed compote vase—aka the kind of vessel that makes your flowers look instantly fabulous. Drawing inspiration from Clara Driscoll’s Wisteria Table Lamp, you’ll work with a chic palette of blue, white, and yellow blooms to channel stained glass vibes in fresh flower form.

We’ll cover how to build movement, balance, and that effortlessly lush look, whether you go for a crescent shape or a garden-style design. This class is perfect for folks with a bit of floral experience who are ready to level up. You’ll walk away with serious skills, serious style, and a stunning centerpiece that’ll have your friends asking, “Wait… you made that?!”

Tickets are $105 ($85 for members), reserve your spot online or with Guest Experience at (479) 657-2335 today.
