the flowered blue
Calling all flower lovers, beginner designers, and seasoned professionals to this bouquet intensive workshop. We will be making 5 bouquets over 4 days to grow your confidence and skill in bouquet design. One of the bouquets you will make in a 1-on-2 intensive with Mabry and one other attendee. After Mabry's detailed demonstration she will help you fine tune your skills through every step of the process, offering constructive criticism and design tips. Before and after your intensive, there will be a variety of other classes including cascade and bridesmaids bouquets. There will also be two business classes to take your pricing and marketing skills to the next level.
You will be staying in a Ranch Home and designing in Mabry’s on site studio, just a short stroll away. Every attendee will have their own bed. Bedrooms, bathrooms, and common spaces will be shared.
All of the flowers, supplies, tools (no need to check a bag for clippers/knives), mechanics, meals + snacks (except for one dinner on night 4) will be provided! All you will need, other than your ticket, is transportation to Austin (address will be provided upon registration). Tickets will be limited to ensure that you receive individualized instruction and guidance.

Workshop Agenda
Day One - Monday, 7/22
Arrive in Austin and make your way to the Ranch/Studio. We will have snacks and beverages waiting for you and will take the morning to get acquainted and settle in! Later, in the afternoon, we will have our first business class. Then, while processing our workshop blooms we will discuss flower orders, color theory, bloom selection, and more. A family style dinner will be provided in the evening.
Day Two - Tuesday, 7/23
Start your day by making breakfast from the fully stocked fridge and pantry (fruit, oatmeal, yogurt, waffles, bacon, etc). After breakfast we will begin Mabry's Bouquet Demonstration where you will learn how to design Mabry’s classic bridal bouquet. Afterward, 2 attendees will head into our production space with Mabry for the first 2 hour bouquet intensive while the rest stay in the styling studio with Kennan to design a bouquet as a group. After a catered lunch, Mabry will host 2 more bouquet intensives while Kennan offers her bouquet demonstration and we design a second bouquet as a group.
Day Three - Wednesday, 7/24
After breakfast, we will head back out to the studio to do 3 more intensives with Mabry (for a total of 6 intensives for a max of 12 attendees) in the production room while Kennan covers cascade and bridesmaids bouquets in the styling studio. We will have a build-your-own potato bar lunch! That evening we will go out together for a night on the town to enjoy the company of the new friends we've made. This is our favorite part of the workshop, a time to break bread and celebrate each other!
Day Four - Thursday, 7/25
We will start the morning with Mabry's guide to all things financial including pricing and cash flow. During the class we will have a bridal model and photographer set up and ready for bouquet portraits. You will choose your favorite bouquet from the week to be photographed and take a couple of headshots! We will wrap up the workshop in the early afternoon and say our farewells.

"Mabry and I hit it off as soon as we had our first intro call! I knew she was the one to bring my vision to life. She is so enthusiastic and passionate about floral design, and it shows in the work that she does. She was incredibly responsive and worked with me to ensure we got what we wanted while also considering cost and logistics. My wedding bouquet is still my favorite bouquet I've ever seen in my life, and I had it preserved afterward. "
- Kellie King, Bride
"Mabry did the most amazing job with our wedding florals! I came to her originally with little idea of what I was even wanting for my floral wedding vision. Truthfully I had told myself in the beginning of wedding planning that the floral aspect wasn’t a top priority for me. I saw Mabry’s work on Instagram and was immediately blown away. I gave her some general ideas of what I had liked and disliked and BOY DID SHE DELIVER."
