Spring 2026 Floral Immersion

A professional, hands-on immersion for experienced floral designers seeking real studio, event, and installation experience.

The Flower & Twine Floral Immersion Program is a studio-based training experience designed for floral designers who want to understand how a working floral studio actually operates — from sourcing and conditioning to wedding production, installation work, and teaching-forward design.

This is not a class series, certification, or job placement.
It is a 100-hour experiential immersion rooted in real work, real events, and real production timelines.

Participants are integrated into the rhythm of the studio and gain exposure to the creative, operational, and physical realities of professional floral work.

What’s Included

• Studio immersion with behind-the-scenes access

• Participation in live weddings and events

• Hands-on experience with installation work (event scope varies by season)

• Exposure to studio workflows including sourcing, processing, prep, and breakdown

• Access to all of our classes during that time

• One professionally produced styled shoot

• Photographer selected from Flower & Twine’s trusted creative network

• Usage rights to styled shoot imagery for portfolio, website, and social

• Approximately one hour per week of direct guidance and support from Kerin

By the end of the program, participants leave with a well-rounded, professional portfolio reflecting real studio and event work — not just styled exercises.

Who This Program Is For

This immersion is designed for experienced floral designers who are ready to move beyond classes and styled-only work and into the pace and expectations of a professional studio.

It is a strong fit for designers who:

• Have prior hands-on floral experience and foundational design skills

• Want real exposure to studio operations, event production, and installation work

• Are seeking portfolio depth grounded in real weddings and events

• Value craftsmanship, professionalism, and calm execution

• Are comfortable with physical work, long days, and real-world timelines

• Align with the Flower & Twine aesthetic, values, and client experience standards

• Are interested in building long-term relationships within a creative studio ecosystem

While participation does not guarantee freelance or future work, this program also serves as a relationship-building pathway for designers who may align with Flower & Twine’s extended freelance and studio network over time.
