Make Flower Arranging Your New Hobby, Just Like Nadine Lustre

We all fell into the learning pit while in quarantine, what with all the available sources online and the bounty of time spent at home. Even our celebrities aren’t exempted in riding the wave—trying their hands in new things to keep themselves occupied and productive. While others whip up a trending recipe or enroll in an online class, singer and actress Nadine Lustre delved into a different form of recreation: flower arranging.

This short course won’t eat up an hour of your time—it takes less than 60 minutes to finish! Join floral design duo Putnam & Putnam in their floral design studio in Bushwick, Brooklyn as they share techniques on making functional, ethereal, and long-lasting arrangements. They’ll also guide you through the process of selecting flowers, preparing the vessel, and arranging the flowers—all starting with a color in mind and playing off one single flower. Enroll here.

Begin with the elements and principles of design, then know how to use flowers and foliage available in your area, and finally, expand your skills from arranging flowers in vases to other kinds of assembly—all at your own pace. Enroll here.
