About This Workshop
The floral arch is the most photographed element of any wedding ceremony and a high-value service every florist should master. In this full-day workshop, you will learn to build a complete ceremony arch from structural framework to the final bloom. Starting with arch mechanics — metal frame assembly, chicken wire attachment, and water source integration — you will then layer premium flowers including garden roses, ranunculus, peonies, and cascading greenery to create a lush, editorial-quality installation. Alona walks you through the design principles that make CHIC Flowers' arches stand out: asymmetric balance, depth layering, color gradient techniques, and the strategic use of negative space. You will also cover practical logistics — venue load-in, transport without damage, on-site assembly timelines, and pricing these installations for profitability. This is the workshop for florists ready to offer ceremony installations at the $2,000–$10,000+ level.
