Starting out

Begin with what you have.
Add as you grow.

Most professional training in floral design requires significant upfront investment in equipment, a studio, or a formal program. Wedding Stems is built differently. The tools you need to begin are accessible, and the practice flowers you use can become sellable product or gifts — nothing goes to waste.

Accessible tools

A quality pair of floral shears — the tool you will reach for most — can be found for under $15. Module 1 introduces exactly what Dee uses and why, so you invest in the right things from the beginning.

Flowers that work for you twice

The flowers you practice with are real, finished designs. Give them as gifts, sell them, or keep them. Every practice session produces something beautiful — your investment returns in more than one form.

Vessels and hard goods

Beautiful vessels don't require new purchases. Thrift stores and estate sales are among the best sources for the vases, compotes, and containers used in professional floral design. Dee shares where and what to look for.

"The barrier to beginning is lower than most people think. What matters is understanding — and that is exactly what this course is designed to give you."

Dee Baunsgaard Lennard
Your creativity deserves a clear plan

Beautiful ideas.
A business you know how to run.

You can picture the flowers. But how many stems should you order? What do you charge for the hours behind the arrangement? How do you turn separate designs into a cohesive wedding and get everything ready for installation day?

Guessing costs you time, materials, and confidence. Wedding Stems brings the craft and the business together, so you can learn the designs and the preparation behind the work.

Create with confidence

Understand the mechanics, proportions, and decisions that make your designs work at every scale.

Price with purpose

Learn pricing, labour markup, and consultations alongside the creative work — not as an afterthought.

Plan the whole wedding

Use flower recipes, buying sheets, and planning worksheets to prepare confidently for the day.

Business and Bloom

Creating beautiful flowers is only part of building a successful wedding business.

Your questions

Before you begin.

Is this for beginners or experienced florists?

Wedding Stems is for people preparing for their first wedding and designers looking to elevate existing work. Dee explains the techniques and the reasons behind her decisions, alongside business preparation.

Does it teach the business as well as the designs?

Yes. Business and Bloom covers consultations, pricing for profit, buying and ordering, reverse engineering wedding time, labour markup, and setup preparation, with reference guides and worksheets.

How much time should I allow?

The course includes nearly 8 hours of video instruction, available immediately upon enrollment. Allow additional time for hands-on practice. Lifetime access lets you return to lessons as you develop your skills.

What tools and materials will I need?

Module 1 introduces Dee's preferred tools, hard goods, and floral mechanics — and the investment is more accessible than most people expect. A quality pair of floral shears can be found for under $15. Vessels and hard goods are among the best things to source at thrift stores and estate sales, which is exactly where Dee looks. Floral designs include product lists and recipes to help you plan practice materials. Send your questions through the contact page.

Is the startup cost high?

No — and this is one of the things that distinguishes wedding floristry as a path. The tools you need to begin are inexpensive. The flowers you practice with become sellable arrangements or gifts, so nothing is wasted. Vessels and containers are ideal thrift store finds. Compared to most professional training programs or business startups, the entry cost for learning this craft is remarkably low. Wedding Stems is designed to teach you what to invest in and what you don't need.

Are there downloadable resources?

Yes. Floral designs include PDFs, product lists, reference pictures, and tips. Business and Bloom includes buying sheets, planning worksheets, and consultation, pricing, labour, and setup references.

When can I enroll?

Enrolment is open now and closes November 19. You can pay in full or in three payments at checkout.
