We are so thrilled to bring Bloom Bash back to Dallas, Texas in November of 2019! Our workshop will take place at the stunning White Sparrow Barn. After hosting Bloom Bash at this venue in 2017, we fell in love with it’s beauty and just had to return! While the white barn is breathtakingly beautiful, the surrounding grounds are just as gorgeous with stately trees, fields of green and a beautiful lavender field. Less than an hour from downtown Dallas, Quinlan is a short drive and world away from the city’s hustle and bustle, which is why it’s the perfect place for us to spend two days together learning. We can't wait for floral class under the trees, a stunning photoshoot in the gorgeous spaces inside and out among the greenery, as well as learning and growing together in this beautiful, charming barn!

  • Branding & Business Class: you will work on developing a mission statement, ideal client, and words to use to describe your business with your fellow attendees. We circle the room to help brainstorm and be your sounding boards!

  • Blogging 101 Session: why should you be doing it? And -- holy wow -- HOW do you possibly do it?

  • Social Media Strategy Class: we get down to the nitty gritty of how to use Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest and more for your business. It’s not always about the number of followers. You’ll learn how to engage the followers you DO have and gain their loyalty!

  • Calligraphy Class: take a break from your everyday tasks, put pen to paper and learn a new skill. Maybe you’ll be a natural and start writing hand-written notes to your clients!

  • Floral Arranging Session: creating with your hands in a medium you may not work with everyday is a sure-fire way to garner inspiration and pick up new skills along the way.

 

  • Styled Photo Shoot: we pull out all the stops by producing a gorgeous inspiration shoot, complete with models, tablescapes, florals, invitation suites, and stunning rings. This is the culmination of everything you learned at Bloom, as all of your skills will come together, helping you photograph and style the pretty details for your portfolio. With experts to help you along the way, this is a safe place to practice and continue learning.

  • Q&A Panel: after our two days together, we’re sure you’ll have some questions, so we set aside ample time to get those burning questions answered from our expert panelists, who you’ll have access to all workshop long.

  • Networking opportunities. Bloom takes pride in featuring speakers and guests who love to share their hearts and success. You will love the warm environment that sets the stage for developing new lasting friendships, mentors, business partnerships, and collaborations.

  • Catered breakfast and lunches on both days of the workshop.

  • Professional headshots of yourself or your team. Ashley Slater Photography will be providing an opportunity for you to have your photos taken for your business or blog.

  • A sweet box of swag and other thoughtful gifts, sprinkled over the two day workshop.

  • Support after the workshop comes to an end. We love to continue working with you even after the workshop is over. Our Facebook page provides a space for attendees to bounce ideas off one another and share success!

ALEX BRAY, PRAIRIE LETTER SHOP

Alex Bray grew up on the West Coast, the daughter of a teacher/crafter mom and a film executive dad. Given her family history, it makes perfect sense that she would end up as a teacher-­turned­-creative entrepreneur. With limited television allowed in her household, Alex filled her time with art projects and make believe businesses. Her love for lettering was apparent early on; she lettered her aunt’s wedding invitations at the age of 12. After a  few more years teaching, Alex took a leap of faith that landed her in the middle of the country, in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where she began work as a teacher trainer. Needing a creative outlet, she opened an etsy shop and fast forward to June 1, 2015, she opened Prairie Letter Shop full-time!

Alex is excited to be sharing her love of calligraphy and lettering with Bloom Bash attendees during the Calligraphy session. She’s also thrilled to help teach the flat-lay styling breakout session and share her expertise on the Q&A Panel.

AMY OSABA, AMY OSABA EVENTS

A self-taught designer, you could say that flowers found Amy rather than the other way around. After a successful career as a professional ballet dancer, Amy's innate sense of movement, grace and grand vision translated seamlessly to the magical world of florals and design. At first glance, her signature work evokes a sense of loose, wild abandon while her keen eye and desire for precision have cemented Amy Osaba Design reputation as one of the South's most sought-after event designers. Clients, colleagues and friends alike admire Amy for her balanced approach to art and life. She believes in the power of good, fun and strong females to make the world go round.

Amy is joining Bloom Bash for the 4th time and will be sharing her love, passion and gifts of flowers with attendees in the floral arranging session, as well as her business expertise in the Q&A Panel.

ASHLEY SLATER, ASHLEY SLATER PHOTOGRAPHY

Ashley has been a storyteller from a young age. When she discovered photography, she discovered how to tell stories in an incredibly stunning way and was hooked. Based in the midwest, Ashley is primarily a wedding and portrait photographer and loves shooting with her film camera as much as possible. When she’s not photographing weddings or running the Bloom Workshop, you can find her at home with her husband and three small boys. She’s a wine and food enthusiast who enjoys traveling, cooking, eating and exploring new cities. And like Michaela, she enjoy’s her Monday nights cozied up watching The Bachelor.

Since co-founding The Bloom Workshop, Ashley’s found a new passion in passing on knowledge and empowering women in business and photography skills. She finds such thrill in the fact that every lady leaving can successfully navigate their camera settings and feel confident taking great photos! 

Ashley’s work has been featured on Style Me Pretty, Wedding Sparrow, The Knot, and a number of other wedding blogs and print magazines. Alongside Michaela, Ashley teaches many sessions at Bloom Bash including the why’s and how’s of blogging, how to use social media for your business, photography & design principles, the client experience breakout session, and more.

MICHAELA BEEL, MICHAELA NOELLE DESIGNS

Michaela’s always had a passion for interior design, as she grew up building floor plans out of jenga blocks on her bedroom floor. Her passion for design has always been a part of her life, so with a love for houses and design, she graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in interior design from Seattle Pacific University and a degree in interior design from the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising. Michaela began authoring her design and lifestyle blog in 2010 and launched her own interior design business upon graduating in 2013, where she enjoys serving people and families by creating homes they love. While she’s a California girl at heart, Michaela currently lives in Michigan with her husband and Australian Labradoodle, Lincoln. Ask her how they met sometime— it’s a fun story ;)

As the co-founder of Bloom, Michaela has been given the gift of combining a few of her passions: teaching (she grew up forcing neighborhood kids to “play” school with her as the teacher, of course!), design, creativity, and serving others. She’s honored to have design work featured on RueMag, Style Me Pretty, Glitter Guide, Martha Stewart Crafts, 100 Layer Cake and more. At Bloom, Michaela joyfully teaches alongside Ashley on sessions including the why’s and how’s of blogging, how to use social media for your business, photography & design principles, flat lay styling, how to create & execute a styled shoot and more.

what-others-saying.png

Hear what past attendees have to say about their time at Bloom Bash.

"Now, after attending Bloom I can officially say that I am a full time creative and I can't wait to go back to another workshop!

Before Bloom I was juggling multiple jobs I wasn't giving 100% to any of my work and I was stretching myself thin between all of my jobs and businesses. I've been to two Bloom Workshops within the last 2 years and both workshops opened my eyes to the possibilities that I could achieve.

The last Bloom Bash in Chicago, I met other creatives that turned into friendships, and these friendships with these other creatives have helped me take the leap to be full time with my photography!" --Macy Krall, Macy Marie Photography

 

 

“It was the perfect timing to learn about how to effectively market and run my 'lil side hustle, and gave me the encouragement and fire to make it my full hustle!

Before Bloom I was actually laid off from my marketing job in March this year and feeling a bit lost in life, unsure of my next move. I had been following this workshop for a while with dreams to attend and learn how to make my business flourish.

Besides having the opportunity to collaborate and engage with a room full of incredibly talented and passionate ladies, I took away key tips and ideas on strategy, social media, project management, client care, and so much more. I will forever be thankful for the chance to b l o o m at this workshop, the relationships I made, and knowledge I gained.   I can't recommend it enough to my fellow entrepreneurs, day dreamers, and creators!" — Meg Adamik Creative
