Learning from a Guru

J Schwanke and me

J Schwanke and me

Yesterday I had the pleasure of meeting and learning from one of our industry’s finest designers, J Schwanke.  J has lived his entire life in the floral industry and also has JTV, which can be viewed by flower enthusiasts, like yourself, online at www.ubloom.com 

J taught myself along with 11 others from surrounding flower shops how to design a modern cascade bouquet as cascades are coming back into style.  He also taught us many other fun and informative facts that we will be utilizing in our shop to help make flowers last longer.

One new product J introduced me to was Twinklets, a plastic glitter-like substance that can add glam to flowers, as you can see in the close-up picture of the bouquet I designed. 

I had an AMAZING time!  Can’t wait to use my new knowledge to astound you!!
