Color is a central part of any floral design—the difference between an average creation and one that “sings” is often the way in which the designer uses color.
Join expert floral designer Nancy Gingrich Shenk on a fun exploration of the importance of this principle of design using complementary colors. Examine the properties and psychological effects of color while creating your own beautiful design in harmonious hues. Afterward, take your design home to admire and display. You’ll never look at color the same way again!
