Midsummer Night’s Flower
A bouquet of flowers always brings a smile to any girls face. There’s nothing like a fresh, colourful bunch of them to put you in a good mood! So what better way to spend your weekend than at flower boutique and event design atelier, Ellermann? They make stunning arrangements of flowers and this summer they’re ready to tell you how they do it. With cool workshops available such as their Flower Crown Workshop (check out our review here!), this is something fun and different to try with your girlfriends. The workshops will be run by Sarah Wilkinson, the owner of Australian event and wedding florist Sinikka, and are inspired by summer nights. You’ll be using beautiful, mystical flowers and materials such as peonies, garden roses, sea folly and feathers to create some magical arrangements (take a look at the Midsummer Night’s Collection here). Register here, and say yes to flower power!
When: 12 and 20 July, 11am-1pm
Where: Ellermann, Level 2, Landmark Atrium, 15 Queens Road Central, Hong Kong
How much: $1,000 per person. Register here for more details.
