Greenery and florals are what make a home truly come to life. No vignette or room is complete without them.

You will join Interior Decorator Sarah Kirkpatrick, and a guest floral artist, to learn the basics of floral arrangement design for your home. This will be a hands-on workshop led by two industry professionals who specialize in indoor styling with plants and flowers, showing you our favourite arrangements and modern florals. We are happy to answer any questions you have about pairing arrangements with other elements in your home – the perks of a designer own-and-led workshop!

We encourage you to bring a vase from home that you’ve been wanting to style with or shop our second-hand decor store for something new and perfect. During this workshop you will be provided with an assortment of stems and bouquets, to create something beautiful. At the end of the class, you will be given a list of our favourite places to buy flowers, and have the option to purchase any faux florals from our store at a discount.

All Unshelf Design & Boutique workshops are held in the Design Lab at Unshelf Boutique – Calgary’s only exclusively decor and home goods second-hand boutique.
