KED at Home

<h2>Moody Fall Florals, with Fleur + Form</h2>
Take home a one-of-a-kind arrangement, composed by your own hands under the guidance of a floral artist whose client list includes Ferrari, Burberry, and Bvlgari.
Surrounded by KED's curated home décor, you'll craft and take home a high-end arrangement built for the season — think deep, moody stems, unexpected textures, and blooms that feel like October rather than an everyday bouquet.
Guided live by Promiti Prosun, founder of Fleur + Form, you'll learn the techniques behind elevated floral design: how texture, movement, and color come together into something that looks composed, not just assembled. Enjoy an intimate evening that opens with shopping, small bites, and conversation before the hands-on work begins — beauty and craft, in equal measure.
&nbsp;Together, we’ll cover: 
<ul><li>Selecting and preparing premium blooms</li><li>Color balance, form, and composition techniques</li><li>Designing with movement and negative space</li><li>Insider tips for long-lasting arrangements</li></ul>
📍 Location: KED at Home – Barrington, IL 📅 Date: Thursday, October 22 — arrive 5:30 p.m., hands-on workshop 6:00–8:00 p.m. 💰 Ticket: $175&nbsp; 🍂What's included: 
<ul><li>Guidance to create one elevated arrangement</li><li>All materials provided, including premium fresh blooms and tools</li><li>High-end vase</li><li>1.5-2 hours of guidance</li><li>A selection of small bites with alcoholic/non-alcoholic beverages</li></ul>
Seats are limited — reserve your spot and bring moody fall florals home.
Attendees will receive 10% off their entire purchase of items in the KED at Home Boutique. Shop our fall edit and holiday gifts.
