Ryan's sister Kat has graciously offered to host us for floral arranging Saturday morning at her rental Estes Park is quite strict regarding "events" and parking at rentals, so please plan to carpool or get dropped off! I would recommend parking at the Free public lot (691 N St. Vrain Ave) and carpooling over. You might be able to park at/near the Spice Rack and walk over. Let's arrange the bouquets, accessories, centerpieces, & arch decor! I will provide shears, floral wire, ribbon, and 400+ stems of blooms & greenery! Let's have some snacks and drinks and have fun being amateur florists! :)
