the shop’s window ready for valentine’s day
As a Valentine’s Day treat, thought I’d share a few photos from the hand-tied bouquet class I attended at Suzanne Cummings Flowers two weeks ago with my friend Chandra. I was completely charmed from the moment I set foot in Suzanne’s shop. It’s minimal and beautiful: the flowers really stand out. I learned so much as she patiently explained how to assemble the bouquet (Suzanne trained with London’s Jane Packer Flower School before setting up shop in Chicago.) It was great to take home proof of my hard work: the bouquet was beautiful and it lasted nearly two weeks! If you’re in Chicago, stop in for some amazing flowers, or take a class. It makes for a lovely girls’ afternoon outing.
