One of my favorite things in the entire world is to take flower arrangement classes from different florists in the city. Each florist has their own vision and aesthetic and I love learning new techniques and trying out arrangements in different styles. One of my favorite NYC florists is Pop-Up florists. Kelsie, the owner, is truly a creative visionary who has a completely original and different spin on flowers than anyone I have ever seen. She is very structural, expressive, and eccentric. Last December, I had the privilege of taking a wreath making class with her in her work space (House of Three) and loved it so much that as soon as I saw a new workshop, I signed up immediately.
The room of House of Three is gorgeous. Each person was set up at a table with shears, her book, and a bucket of the most gorgeous flowers. Follow House of Three on instagram to see the different workshops and experiences you can have!
A little introduction of how Kelsie likes to see floral arrangements, and we got started. It was so fun — and pushed my limits — because this is not the style of flowers I typically feel comfortable working with.
My arrangement. Kelsie is all about different heights and sweeps and having each flower have a moment — so different than what I am used to (I am more a uniform, same height and cramming the flowers in)
I liked to put the arrangement away from the work space to see it from different angles and then add and work around it.

Loved my evening and time putting this together. Definitely check out Pop-Up Florists for flower arrangements and House of Three for any creative floral workshops you might be interested in! So much fun.
