Professional Experience Required
Learn how Tasha thinks before the first stem enters the foam.
Advanced sympathy work is not built by adding more flowers, more products, or more mechanics. It is built through disciplined decisions: what the customer is buying, what the design must communicate, where each stem creates value, and whether the finished piece will hold.
This masterclass teaches the professional judgment behind the design - not just a sequence of steps to copy it.
“Build it properly. Finish it completely. Make your mechanics disappear.”
The Tasha Flowers standard: minimal mechanics, intentional placement, complete finishing, and visible value.
BEYOND A BEAUTIFUL DESIGN
SIGNATURE STUDY
The Ruby - Designed to be seen, studied and remembered
INSIDE THE MASTERCLASS
Technique, mechanics, design judgment, and business discipline.
You will construct a casket spray and a standing spray while learning the decisions that protect the design, the customer experience, and your profit.
01.
MINIMAL MECHANICS
Choose only what the design requires. Build structural integrity without unnecessary gadgets, exposed construction, or wasted materials.
02.
INTENTIONAL PLACEMENT
Use recipes, visual hierarchy, negative space, and value placement so every stem has a role and premium flowers receive top billing.
03.
PROFESSIONAL FINISHING
Complete the front, sides, back, crown, and underside. Conceal the magic and release work that protects your reputation.
STANDING SPRAY STUDY
Build presence, personalization, and visual weight without losing control of the design.
A standing spray must communicate from across the room, remain structurally sound, and carry personal details without allowing those details to feel attached as an afterthought.
The class examines how mechanics, line, scale, flower placement, and family elements work together to create one complete visual statement.
Personal elements designed into the composition
Mechanics concealed from every viewing angle
Scale and visual weight appropriate for the room
WHAT YOU WILL STRENGTHEN
A repeatable method-not a one-time arrangement.
The goal is to leave with a stronger eye, better construction habits, clearer decision-making, and standards you can apply to your own products.
