I am a true believer in education. You can never know too much, or know it all. Something I am fascinated with, but have very limited skills with are wedding florals. So when I saw an amazing opportunity to learn from one of the wedding industries best, I took it!
I hopped on a plane to one of my favourite places on the planet (Riviera Maya, Mexico) to take a floral workshop with Vanessa Jaimes at the beautiful Grand Velas Riviera Maya.
