The Professional Wedding Floristry Course is aimed at those looking to learn intricate bridal designs, elaborate corsages and hair flowers and master the art of table dressing. This course has been designed to reinforce techniques and core floristry principles and mechanics.
Learn how to create fully wired shower designs, ballerina bouquets (hand held with a frame), flowers for the wider wedding party, hair designs and corsages, and a variety of table designs that can be used throughout the wedding venue.
Wedding Floristry requires a mastery of techniques combined with creativity and an attention to detail. It is a specialised area, with many florists choosing to concentrate on wedding projects or freelancing for other florists. By the end of the course you will be amazed at how many new skills and ideas you will have learnt that you can use to take your floristry to the next level.

"Again, I have learnt shedloads these last few days. Thank you so much for everything, These courses really are life changing"
"Really thoroughly enjoyed it. Made to feel really comfortable as a beginner to floristry. Really well taught and demonstrated. Loved the 3 aspects to it as well I've come away knowing a lot more than I did this morning - would love to come back for another course someday soon. Thank you!."
Excellent instruction, has created so many ideas as well as challenges, certainly has made me question the way I was thinking of doing things, and excited to get things started now. Sarah was fun and entertaining in presentation and extremely informative, thanks!
