A Springtime Floral Reverie Inspired by Holland, Where Abundance and Fragrance Took Center Stage
[section title=”The Planning”]
[field title=”The Inspiration”]
The inspiration for this workshop was Holland in the spring, where flowers are EVERYTHING! The goal is toallow studentsy to experience floral abundance and allow them to revel in an excess of beauty. Fragrance, tone, texture. To be almost overwhelmed by possibility. Holland in the spring is something everyone who loves flowers should have the opportunity to experience. It will blow your mind.

[field title=”Wedding Colors”]
There were several arrangements that were made during the course of the three days together, but for the table I wanted to play with violets, blues, and lavenders, as these are best in the spring. Best, in that there isthe widestt variety of flowers in those colors to choose from. I also thought they might look beautiful against the khaki/brown/green murals on the walls.

[field title=”The Venue”]
Parc Broekhuizen, Leersum The Venue: Parc Broekhuizen has a long history, going back to at least 1408, when the first known occupant (Tyman van Zuylen) is recorded. It was recognized as a ridderhofstad (a kind of Dutch manor or knight’s house) in 1629. The current main building’s “form” (i.e., its architectural style) dates from around 1810 when it was rebuilt, replacing earlier structures. The design is a mix: the historic structure has been restored carefully between 2011 and 2016, retaining elements like period fireplaces, decorative murals, Louis-Seize style ceilings, while adding contemporary art, furniture, and modern amenities. Each room is somewhat unique.

[field title=”Wedding Gown”]
Edwin Oudshoorn is a Dutch fashion designer who is very much focused on romantic, theatrical couture. Think fairy-tale silhouettes, flowing shapes, voluminous fabrics, lots of details like sequins, Swarovski crystals, hand-dyed silks, and tulles. His design philosophy involves telling stories: each piece or collection is meant to evoke a mood, atmosphere,e or narrative. This made him the perfect choice to collaborate with on this workshop in this enchanting setting.

Students designed bridal bouquets for one of two dresses, An incredible yellow one and an equally gorgeous white gown. The yellow number against the blue walls and mural was especially beautiful.

[field title=”Favorite Design Element”]
My favorite design element was the yellow gown in the blue room. I chose the yellow as I imagined it would be a gorgeous contrast, and it was.

[field title=”Tips To Pull Off The Look”]
I wish more brides would wear color! I have also been so thrilled when a bride of mine chooses a color over white- so much more fun to design with.
