MISE EN FLEUR - NEW CUYAMA, CALIFORNIA

FLORISTRY INTENSIVE

OCTOBER 15-17, 2024

All inclusive retreat centered on floral design technique, in-depth business learning, and growing your floral community

the experience

Join Christina & team for a 3-day, 2-night floral design and business learning intensive at Cuyama Buckhorn, a peaceful roadside resort nestled over the Los Padres National Forest, an hour east of Santa Barbara.

With a limited guest count, this unique retreat will feel very much like a private mentorship program. After a relaxing first day on the property where you can decompress and enjoy amenities like the pool and sauna, you’ll gather on Wednesday in a classroom setting for a full day of business learning. Christina will share her insights and business strategy behind running various floristry businesses. From running a home-based floral studio to scaling in a retail shop setting, Christina has years of experience operating in different settings. The forefront of her strategy has always been to operate businesses that are both profitable and efficient. You’ll learn how to price for profit, design floral recipes, create high-end proposals for clients, market to a wide range of clients, and much more.

On our last day of learning, the group will focus on hands-on event design and installation. We’ll design an impactful tablescape of overflowing blooms while also creating a grandiose floral moment on a greenhouse structure. Christina will discuss foam use and designing with both limited floral foam and entirely foam-free.

The last day of this retreat coincides with our Flower Camp experience, in which our floral retreat students are also invited to register to & extend their stay at Cuyama Buckhorn.

Whether your goals are to hone in on specific design skills or to build a stronger business foundation, we’re confident you’ll leave feeling empowered & inspired to reach new heights in your floristry journey. No questions are off the table with Christina and each student will also be invited to an optional 1:1 Zoom where they can go over additional questions with Christina in the month following the retreat.

Lastly, with content creation being an integral aspect of Christina’s success there will be no shortage of media at our retreat! Our photographer will be onsite to capture the entire experience and there will be dedicated time for headshots and portfolio images to capture your design work.

Mise en Fleur New Cuyama will be a unique retreat like we’ve never hosted before! Your new flower family awaits and we are so excited to gather with you in a supportive & inspiring environment.
