Maybe traveling is not in the plans for this year, do not fret! The Floral Coach, Amy Balsters offers classes for all skill levels on the importance of floral foundations and body placement. The best part is– you can enjoy the classes right from your home! 

Jump right on into the learning with Amy’s Free 60 Minute Course, 4 Ways to Better Bouquets. “Learn how to get repeatable results in making bouquets, approach the ordering process and save time and money. During this class, you cover The 4 Flower Categories and Why They Matter, Amy’s Approach to Ordering Bouquet Flowers, 3 Key Steps to Making Great Bouquets Every Time, and the Spiral Design Demo–the Key to Efficiency.”

The Bouquet Bootcamp courses focus on helping you, the florist, create a more simple approach to bouquet making while increasing your profits and saving time! One tip you will learn when designing, the European Spiral is so helpful in keeping the stems in an ordered fashion while still maintaining control over the bouquet. Keeping a loose grip on the bouquet really does impact your hands and wrists. Over gripping can cause severe damage to your hands and can result in quick injury! 

Details recently had The Floral Coach herself, Amy Balsters, as their April Masterclass guest. If you are interested in learning more about bouquet building techniques, make sure to watch the April Masterclass on the Details Youtube Channel!
