June is officially wedding season, which means you're probably already on the hook for a shower, a bachelorette, a rehearsal dinner, or all three. Somewhere between RSVP-ing to other people's events and figuring out what to wear to them, the flowers tend to be for everyone except you.
Not on this Thursday.
I'm setting the tables for an evening that's all white-and-blush, soft and a little indulgent; the floral version of putting your feet up. Every June I tell myself I'll design something moody and dramatic this month, and then the blush garden roses arrive and I cave immediately. 🤭
So here we are. We'll be designing lush, garden-style arrangements in the kind of palette that usually only shows up at someone else's event. This one's just for you, and it's going home with you for the next 2 weeks.
We'll be working with garden roses in those impossibly romantic blush tones, hydrangea so full they look like clouds, fragrant stock that's going to make the whole house smell incredible, and feathery astilbe for the kind of garden-y texture that makes an arrangement feel expensive without trying.
Bring the bridesmaid you haven't seen since someone else's wedding. Bring your sister. Bring the friend you keep meaning to catch up with. Or come solo and meet a few new flower-loving people - at Walden, no one leaves a stranger.
Whether you've designed a hundred arrangements or you're not totally sure whether a hydrangea is used to put out a fire, you're in good hands. We don't take ourselves too seriously - we just take our flowers beautifully.
Feel free to BYOB and sip while you snip! All materials provided. We provide water, small snacks, and soft drinks for your enjoyment.
I'm excited to share this design with you.
- Denise
Due to the amount of preparation for this class, no cancellations after June 8th. Cancellations prior to June 8th will receive a full refund. If you are unable to attend, we will happily make your flower arrangement. Your friends can either bring it to you or you can pick-up from the shop. You are welcome to find someone who would enjoy attending class in your place.
Ask us about booking your own private event! We love bridal showers, bachelorette parties, birthday parties, and corporate team building experiences!

Beyond individual development, District 30 fosters strong community connections.

Edward Jones

Throughout our lives, we take on various roles that help define who we are. In my case, I have had the privilege of serving as a financial advisor, author, marathoner, cancer survivor and caregiver. I have spent the past 25 years helping families achieve their financial goals. After graduating from Southern Illinois University with a Bachelor of Arts in political science, I joined Edward Jones in 1998. During my tenure, I served in many leadership positions within the firm. In 2018, I became a regional leader for the Chicago western suburbs, overseeing 58 branch teams serving thousands of families. I became a general partner with Edward Jones in 2020. I take a very personalized approach to financial advising. My branch team includes Joyce Marzo. We take the time to learn what is important to our clients and I tailor a strategy to help them achieve their goals. Together we are committed to providing our clients and business partners exceptional service. In my practice, I typically work with three generations of families, helping them navigate life's financial challenges. As a marathoner, I have completed multiple races, including the Chicago Marathon, and I have found that the discipline and focus required for long-distance running has helped me in other areas of my life. As a cancer survivor and caregiver, I have gained valuable insights into the challenges that life can throw our way. These experiences have taught me the importance of perseverance, empathy and proactive planning, and I bring these values to my work as a financial advisor. When I am not wearing my professional hat, I enjoy spending time with my family. I am married to Enrique, and together we have two children, Sofia and Andy. Our family also includes a lovable Great Pyrenees named Ellie. One of our favorite ways to unwind is by spending time at our family cabin in NW Wisconsin, where we can disconnect from the hustle and bustle of daily life and enjoy the beauty of nature.
