Online Flower Arranging Workshop
Online Flower Arranging Workshop
Many people weren’t able to attend the workshops that I hosted because of distance or timing, so I thought I would bring the workshop to you.
I am hosting a virtual workshop because I wanted to bring the joy of playing with flowers to you. Hopefully I can help to make you feel more confident to arrange flowers in your own home, whether it is for yourself, to give to friends and family or selling at your front gate. I want to host a fun night where you can practice arranging flowers with a drink in your hand, snacks by your side and ask as many questions as you like! You’ll be in the comfort of your own home so no one is judging if you’re in your pj’s with a bottle of wine by your side while you arrange flowers. Sounds like bliss if you ask me!Hopefully I will see you there, Flora x
Disclaimer: I am no expert and certainly not a trained florist but I will do my best to show you the basic principles of flower arranging and how fun and simple it can be to create big whimsical bunches in your own home.
What you will learn:
The basic rules of flower arranging.
How to make your flowers last longer.
Tips for growing cut flowers and my best cut flowers to grow.
Plant/Flower Identification.
How to wrap a bouquet.
What to bring?
If you want to participate and practice as you go while I do my demonstrations, I suggest you bring as many things as you can from the following list. Alternatively, you are more than welcome to come along with a drink in your hand in the comfort of your own home, listen and just take notes (I will provide a summary of notes after the workshop for all attendees). The video will be recorded and sent out if you want to refer back to it at any point.
