VIVA LA VIDA Monterrey
Two days. Four life stories. One unforgettable floral journey.
VIVA LA VIDA is a unique two-day floral workshop created by internationally recognised florist Róbert Bartolen. Through flowers, it tells the story of human life — from the birth of a child, love, weddings and family, to the celebration of life and the final farewell.
What to expect
A floral story about life
During two intensive days, we will move through some of the most important moments of life. Each floral work will represent a specific life stage while giving participants space to develop creativity, technical skill and floral thinking.
VIVA LA VIDA is not only about creating beautiful arrangements. It is about learning how to tell stories through flowers — stories people remember.
