Enter the colorful and creative world of two dynamic floral designers—Ace Berry and Canaan Marshall.

Ace and Canaan will work with the same assortment of flowers, foliage, and containers provided to craft 1-2 arrangements at the same time on stage. Step-by-step, you’ll watch as they bring their creations to life, weaving their personal style into each design. As they share their personalities and creativity, as well as tips and tricks of the trade, you’ll be inspired to try something new and add your own unique flair into your everyday life.
