Elise Bernhardt is a floral designer and teacher based in Brooklyn whose work with flowers grew from years producing site-specific dance performances and leading cultural organizations. She designs with close attention to movement, texture, and the relationship between flowers and their containers, creating arrangements that feel particular to a space and the person in it. Her private flower arranging classes and floral design workshops are calm, collaborative, and welcoming to all levels. Participants leave with a practical design framework and the confidence to keep arranging on their own.

Elise's classes are collaborative, highly interactive, and built around individual attention. She works with each person at their level and makes sure no one feels lost. She draws on Japanese floral design and choreography to offer a fresh framework, but keeps things accessible and a little playful. Learners often say they were surprised by how much they covered in a short time, and that the relaxed, encouraging atmosphere made them willing to try things outside their comfort zone. Many have come back for more.
