Wheelchair access is limited because of the location of the event. Attendees are encouraged to wear Sunday dress.

The Advanced Wedding and Event Planning class is hosting the event.

“The assignment was to create a vision board and then discuss it with Sister Robison,” said Melissa Pearson, a senior studying horticulture.

After brainstorming, Katie Robison, an applied plant science professor, selected three ideas. The students voted and chose one of Pearson’s ideas.

“I remember when I did the cultural floral class and we had an assignment to interpret a painting of Christ which started the idea, but I honestly think it was the Spirit,” Pearson said. “The Savior is very important to me and He has always been a constant light in my life so I wanted to do something that worshipped Him.”

The students have worked all semester to plan the event so it runs smoothly.

“We hope that attendees will come away from the experience with a strengthened belief and appreciation for all the Savior has done and does now for each of us,” Robison said. “We especially hope that people will be able to appreciate and find inspiration from fine art as well as floral art.”
