What you will make
Five wedding designs
A luxury bridal bouquet
Hand tied, balanced for the dress and the photographs, and finished with a neat ribbon wrap.
A matching bridesmaid bouquet
A smaller sister to the bridal bouquet, so you can scale it up for a whole bridal party.
Buttonholes and corsages
The groom’s buttonhole, a wrist corsage and a pin-on for the mothers, wired and taped cleanly.
A cascading table piece
A long, low design for the top table that travels well and sets up quickly.
A statement arrangement
A pedestal or aisle piece: the big design that fills the photographs.

Common questions
Do I need experience?
It helps to be able to make a hand tied bouquet, or to have trained with us. If you are brand new, start with our core one to one or group day and come back. The mechanics are taught on the day.
Will I keep what I make?
Yes. You take home every piece, ready for photographs and portfolio.
Can I bring a real enquiry?
Please do. Bring a bride’s brief or inspiration pictures and we will cost it and plan the stems together.
What should I bring?
Just a drink, any food you will need and a notebook. Flowers, foam and tools are all provided.
When is it?
Pick your date in the calendar when you book. The days are the same as our other one to one training, in Blackpool and in Norfolk.
How much is it, and how do I pay?
The course is £950, or £800 each if two of you come together. You pay a £100 deposit to reserve your day, and the balance is payable under our One-to-One Terms and Conditions.
Can two of us come together?
Yes, two people can come together. It is £800 each, with a £100 deposit each. Choose 2 people when you book, and put both names and both addresses in the certificate box.
