KUTV News at Noon


Noon lunch hour this past Thursday turned out to be a blast, hanging out with Casey and Camera-Guy-Ryan from KUTV News! They took some time out to visit our studio and talk with us during Channel 2 News at Noon, learning about Kado and the kind of work we like to create.

Casey was a great sport, wearing the "floral fashion" pieces we designed and "feeling very pretty"! Remember that you can learn all of these techniques at our "Floral Fashionista" class coming back again this summer!

Check back for the video footage, as we're waiting for it to post on the news site!

Design Class







Showing off in our design class are some first-time designers who produced some wonderful pieces! The energy was buzzing with enthusiasm, oozing creativity and even a few laughs. Spending an evening at Kado is a way to escape into the beautiful world of floral artistry as well as taking a few skills home to turn plain ol' blossoms into a stunning piece of art! Classes are Tuesday and Thursday evenings - check out the design program page for class themes and prices.

HITOMI DEMONSTRATION







At the end of March, we had the privilege of attending a demonstration by keynote lecturer and internationally known floral artist, Hitomi Gilliam AIFD. (Hitomi is a longtime member of the highly acclaimed American Institute of Floral Designers)

We braved the wild snowstorm that day to make it up to Callister Imports in Brigham City, the host of the event attended by over one hundred other floral professionals.

As front row enthusiasts, (what can we say...we're really passionate about flowers!) we had the opportunity to further our floral education, enabling us to apply it to future projects for our clients, as well as pass on more tricks of the trade to our very own students. Our ongoing goal is to expand our knowledge in our industry to keep the boundaries endless!

Behind The Scenes







Reminiscent of the streets of New York City, here we are loading up an event to be transported up into the mountains to a fabulous, luxury cabin, to create a rustic ambiance for the hosts and their special guests.

Our studio houses an area perfect for designing events of all sizes. This space doubles as our classroom with custom made tables we can wheel around to use for designing on as well as scootin' them back and forth as some good lookin' push carts!
