Designers Choice Floral Arrangement

Designers Choice Floral Arrangement

We pride ourselves at A.Hunt Design on offering artistic Designer’s Choice Floral Arrangements for all occasions. We will never use any 1800 companies that tell us what we can use and give us their recipes. We are Designer’s Choice and that means our talented team of designers takes your budget and any color and design requests you have and makes something magical just for you. We love your input and ideas on the designs and they are always welcome but cannot be guaranteed. We get fresh flowers weekly, many of which are farm direct from Equidor and Holland, and love to make artistic, fun designs that are all “a little funky”.

All Arrangements will be designed in a glass or ceramic vase of the designer’s choosing unless otherwise a Wrapped Bouquet is chosen below.

Same-day deliveries are available if ordered by 12 noon. It is best to call 217-419-1774 to secure same-day delivery availability!

Be sure to add some special items to your Flower Orders! Cookies, Candles, Cake Jars, and more. Give us a call at 217-419-1774 if you want to add any other special gifts to your order like earrings, art prints, or bath bombs…. we’ve got a little bit of everything in The CU Flower House.

The Spirit of Ikebana – Life of Flowers

Ikebana is the centuries-old Japanese art of arranging flowers. The practice, which roughly translates to “making flowers come alive,” uses carefully selected blossoms, greenery, and other flora to convey a specific feeling or emotion to an observer – just as a painting or sculpture might.

Ikebana has distinct characteristics. It has both a philosophical and spiritual component along with its visual form.  In Ikebana “flower” can mean flower or branches or leaves – all growing things. Space is not “nothing” but indeed something very important and an integral part of the design.

Join Champaign native Jeanne Holy as she guides you through a beautiful evening introducing you to the Art of Ikebana. Jeanne has been studying and teaching Ikenobo ikebana for 35 years. She is currently President Emeritus of the Illinois Prairie Ikenobo Chapter. She teaches, exhibits, and demonstrates for Ikebana organizations, garden clubs, schools, and out of her private home studio. Holy has traveled the United States and Japan to learn Ikenobo Ikebana taught by Japanese Professors.  As part of her pursuit of understanding Ikebana, she studied the Japanese language. In June of 2022 Holy was awarded the Headmaster Designate Prize (2nd prize) in the Ikenobo World Cup, an international competition with participation by 186 Ikenobo members from 120 chapters throughout the world.   She recently graduated from the Central Training Institute of Ikenobo headquartered in Kyoto and is currently enrolled in the Master’s Program.  Holy holds the highest Ikenobo degree Sokatoku.

At the class, you will be provided with all the tools and flowers needed to build your Ikebana design. The design and vessel are yours to take home after class.  The class is BYOB, so feel free to bring a beverage of your choice to share or enjoy yourself!

Ikebana for One: $50

Ikebana for Two: Share one design with more flowers to play and design with – $85
