Join expert floral designer Nancy Gingrich Shenk on a fun exploration of color theory in floral design inspired by the 2025 Pantone Color of the Year, set to be announced in winter 2025, shortly before this trend-setting floral design experience.
Color is a central part of any floral design—and what can elevate any arrangement and make it “sing” is often the colors you pair! This workshop is perfect for beginner floral designers who are looking to expand into the world of color. Discuss the properties of color, the effect it can have on mood, and the color harmonies you can find while creating beautiful designs inspired by the 2025 Pantone Color of the Year.
