DIY WEDDING FLOWERS

We have loved creating incredible wedding flowers in the past 12 years and understand that you might do too. 

Its the best job in the world and of  course you want to have a go too! We can show you how at our beginners wedding flowers class. We adore seeing the results of these in the past whether its the bride herself or family member we love seeing the final blooms as brides have sent photos to us.

What to expect on the course-

During the class we will talk you through wedding styles and themes so you can really think about what you want to create for your own weddings.

We will discuss what flowers are best in what season, how to condition flowers, how to create your own hand-tied bouquet.This technique can be easily be adapted to also take the form of a table centrepiece. Also,you will learn the skills of how to create professionally wired buttonholes and corsages along with upcoming trends for the Gents flowers.

We will demonstrate how to create simple table designs so you have lots of inspiration for your big day. We will tell you the arrangements that suit beginners the best and what not to do on your day to avoid any disasters and what is the best way to get the look you want.

This course is aimed at those who have creative friends and family who want to have a go at creating wedding flowers. Even some Brides might be thinking about being creative too.

We will use gorgeous seasonal blooms that you will package and then take home.  All materials will be provided and complimentary refreshments will be available.

'Wellbeing & Floral' Retreats

delivered by 

Jenny and Sue

10am - 4pm
Date/s and venue to be Confirmed

 Break away from the conveyor belt of a busy life and relax in Jenny's Pure Energy Healing and Reiki 

Life is getting more and more artificial and today we can already see a reaction towards this. The more our towns and cities grow, the more people will dream of the countryside, nature and flowers.promote a good sense of well being and treat yourself to a relaxing Flower Arranging session with Sue.

Spend a little -
'Me Time' with Jenny and Sue at one of their events being held this Autumn!

It is so important to take some 'time out' for you and step away from the hustle and bustle of a busy life.

We  believe that the combination of our 2 'well being' sessions as described below can bring great value and promote a good feeling of wellbeing in one form or another.

JENNY'S WELLBEING SESSION:

Finding time for ourselves is something many struggle with.  It can feel like there is always someone or something more important needing our attention, and this can impact on your well-being.  

We need to look after ourselves first, or we will not be able to function or be strong enough to help others.

Our Wellbeing and Floral events offer the ideal opportunity to not only connect with nature, but your inner self too.  

           SUSAN'S FLORAL THERAPY SESSION:

Whether you’re wanting to use your garden flowers for a 'country style' effect in your home, a busy mum looking for inspiration to create a sophisticated arrangement for a family gathering or maybe you want  to start to learn a new skill or refine existing skills in flower arranging,our workshops are an exciting and stimulating way to do this.Don't forget....Floral therapy is good for mental health too.
Flowers are not only for the home anymore – an increasing number of corporates are taking their teams on flower workshop days to promote bonding whilst doing something creative. 

Combining fine fragrances with bright uplifting colours and an abundance of texture, flower arranging is a beautifully calm and creative hobby that stimulates and challenges the mind. A sense of 'wellbeing' is also promoted in this activity,bringing the participant closer to nature and the natural environment.
