Spring arrives and it seems like there are so many creative class options available. So many are applicable for the “DIY” Bride who is looking to save costs, roll up their sleeves, and let their creativity flow. Check out some of the local classes available:
- The Art of Botanical Arranging- April 26 at The Pottery Barn, Santa Monica (Receive 10% off the items featured in the class)
- Floral classes taught by one of my fabulous and talented florist, Dawn Hansen, of Lavendar Hill. Her class schedule is posted on her website (http://flowerdiyvas.com/HuntingtonBeach.aspx) and are located in Huntington Beach. The next class will be on April 21st entitled, “The Fun Stuff” Introductory Workshop.
- This last workshop was referenced on one of my favorite photographer’s website (jessicaclaire.net), and it’s another DIY class offered by Grey Likes Weddings, on Sunday, May 31st in the OC.  This one includes champagne!!!  (http://greylikesweddings.wordpress.com/diy-workshop/)
Advanced registration is required for all of the classes so plan ahead to ensure your spot! I’d love to hear feedback from those who took the classes.
