About This Workshop
Centerpieces define the reception experience, and this workshop teaches you both signature styles. You will start with a grand tall arrangement using elevated vessels, building structure with chicken wire and floral foam alternatives, then layering premium blooms for a 360-degree design that commands attention from across the room. Next, you will create a refined low centerpiece — the workhorse of reception design — focusing on compote mechanics, color blocking, textural contrast, and proper scale for guest conversation. Alona shares pricing strategies, sourcing tips, and the production workflow CHIC Flowers uses to execute 200-plus centerpieces in a single wedding weekend.
