Take your time. Revisit each lesson as needed. Learn at your own pace.
I’m honored to be part of your floral journey.
A learning space for women who want to design with confidence and intention.
Rooted in experience. Led with care. Built to support your growth.
Ways to learn
An immersive private mentorship designed for floral designers who want personalized guidance, refined technique, and a deeper understanding of intentional wedding and event design.
During this full-day, one-on-one experience, you’ll work alongside Maribel inside the Mechanics of Grace studio while exploring floral mechanics, structure, movement, styling, and thoughtful design decisions used in real weddings and events.
Each session is tailored to your goals and may include centerpieces, bridal bouquets, ceremony florals, candle styling, fresh and faux integration, portfolio guidance, pricing conversations, and overall creative direction.

Meet Your Instructor: Maribel
Maribel’s love for flowers began in childhood—drawn to their color, movement, and the quiet way they transform a space. Early on, she understood that flowers speak without words, creating emotion and connection.
For Maribel, floral design has never been about trends or replication. It’s about intention—responding to the space, the moment, and the people it’s meant for. Her work is rooted in thoughtful mechanics, balance, and respect for the design process.
With over 18 years of experience, Maribel is the founder and master floral designer behind Flowers by G Bella. Designing weddings and events has shown her how deeply florals shape meaningful moments. Seeing a couple step into a space and feel something—knowing it becomes part of their story—is what continues to inspire her work.

“I learned so much today from a great teacher Maribel of @flowersbygbella. Learned that most flowers need to be in warm water! I always put my flowers in ice cold water freezing the flowers and not allowing them to open up. Who knew… Anyway, today was a good day!”
