Step into the opulent world of 17th-century floral art as you create your own lush, overflowing arrangement inspired by Flemish still-life paintings.
Explore how to balance a rich mix of blooms in the graceful oval shape that defines this timeless style. Warm golds, reds, and pastels blend with touches of Delft blue, while natural imperfections and symbolic accents like fruit or shells add lifelike charm and luxury. You’ll leave with your own radiant, museum-worthy creation to take home and enjoy.
