Mothers Day Treat

Saturday 9th March 10am - 12pm or 2pm - 4pm

Rather than buying a bouquet for your mum this year, treat her to a workshop where she can enjoy learning to make her own. This will be an ideal gift for your mum, or for an even better experience make a day of it and come along too for a special day out together. I have also had friends attend who wanted to make bouquets to give to their mum the next day - there are plenty of reasons to come along and enjoy spending time with flowers!

I will briefly demonstrate how to make a professional hand tied bouquet and be on hand to help and give guidance along the way as you learn the techniques to arrange flowers at home.

The workshop will last for about two hours and include cream teas and home made cakes to fuel your creativity.

Flowers and all other materials will be provided.

Cost £47.50 per person or £90 for two

DIY Wedding Flowers

Sunday 2nd April 10.30am - 3pm

Paying a professional florist to arrange your flowers is hassle free and will guarantee everything looks perfect on the big day, but some brides want to be more involved in arranging their own, or are on a smaller budget.

If this sounds like you then this workshop should appeal! You will be provided with a selection of flowers and foliage based around our mixed stem buckets which are popular with DIY brides. We will cover what flowers are suitable for various arrangements, when to buy, how best to look after them, how many you will need and how long to allow to make things up.

You will then get the chance to make a bridal bouquet, buttonhole and jam jar arrangement suitable for a table centrepiece.

This workshop is limited to 6 places so you can get all the attention you need.

I recommend bringing your inspiration pictures along with you so I can tailor the advice given to each person as much as possible. If you have any special items you would also like to bring along please feel free to do so and we can talk through the best way to use these.

All of your arrangements will be yours to take home and the day will include a light lunch, refreshments and home-made cake or cream tea.

Cost £125 per person
