Westfield Montgomery [4], Bethesda’s premier destination for fashion, food and film, is bringing the beauty of the National Cherry Blossom Festival to life by hosting a series of Floral Design Classes with partners H.Bloom, Lilly Pulitzer and Lobster ME. The two 90-minute arrange-your-own (AYO) floral design sessions with expert florists will include light bites and parting gifts for attendees. Guests will be inspired by the Nordstrom Wing’s vibrant springtime displays and, with the guidance of professional floral designers, will learn how to craft and take home their own luxurious floral décor.

Dozens of interested participants will feed their creative juices under the cherry blossoms located in the Nordstrom Wing, on Sunday, March 29. In addition to the cherry blossoms on display, the center will be in full bloom with spring fashion displays and an exterior wash of pink lighting that pays homage to the Festival’s annual “City In Bloom” tradition. Shoppers may also bring their “Petal Pass [5]” to earn a free tote and enjoy discounts at participating Westfield Montgomery retailers and restaurants.

The event is free and open to the public with limited space available. Individuals interested in attending must register to Montgomery@us.westfield.com [6] with the names of all guests and requested session time at either 10:00-11:30 or 1:00-2:30 (Subject line: Floral Design Class).
