Join us for a unique flower arranging workshop where you’ll learn the art of the classic French hand-tied bouquet using a spiral technique while discovering simple techniques for photographing flowers beautifully. This floral design class combines floral artistry and visual storytelling into one unforgettable experience.
You’ll learn bouquet construction, spiral technique, flower selection, color composition, and the design principles that make Parisian bouquets feel effortlessly elegant. Once your bouquet is complete, Viola Floral’s in-house photographer, Jelena Ogrizovic, will share practical tips for styling and photographing flowers using natural light, composition, and your smartphone.

Viola Floral was founded in 2019 by Jelena Trifunovic — floral designer, science educator, and mom of three. Jelena was born and raised in Serbia and moved to Los Angeles at the start of the Yugoslav War in the early 1990s. She studied biology and took her love of science to the classroom — first as a high school teacher and then as a professor at Loyola Marymount University.
Jelena grew up arranging flowers with her mother, entertaining and hosting many gatherings both at home and at her family’s restaurant. After her mother passed away from pancreatic cancer in 2016, Jelena decided to pursue her passion for floral design by launching Viola Floral — honoring the bond the two women shared in a meaningful way. Viola Floral began as a labor of love and a path for Jelena to heal, but now (many years and tens of thousands of bouquets later), Jelena leads a team of designers who share her passion for flowers and floral education.
