Fresh flowers have mood boosting superpowers
It’s true! From the heavenly scent to the bright colours and intricate shapes, surrounding yourself with fresh flowers is a great way to give yourself a lift. It’s widely known that immersing yourself in nature is beneficial for both mental and physical health – and we think heading off to one of our floristry courses in Edinburgh is the best way to do this!
Whether you’ve been working extra hard, or you just need a little me-time, getting creative with fresh blooms at a floristry session is the perfect antidote to busy daily life. From easing stress and anxiety to boosting mood, improving air quality and alleviating tension, filling your space with glorious floral arrangements and houseplants is a budget-friendly way to boost both your physical and mental health.
Whether you choose to create showy flower arrangements and hand tied bouquets, or colourful floral crowns and dried flower wreaths for long lasting calm, getting involved at an Edinburgh floristry course is a fast track to instant zen! From carefully selecting your stems and learning how to arrange them to experiencing colour therapy from zingy yellow flowers and soothing green leaves, the creative process is super therapeutic. You’ll leave the session with a beautiful floral arrangement, some great new skills and a whole lot of inner peace!
Floristry courses in Edinburgh make great social activities
Got a social event to plan? Floristry might not be the first thing you think of for your marvellous mates or gorgeous date, but hear us out – flower arranging and wreath making are actually two of the top things to do in Edinburgh!
If you’ve been placed in charge of a birthday party, forget dinner and drinks and gather your gang to get creative with carnations instead! Teaming up for a refreshment-fuelled flower arranging session is a great alternative to the usual birthday ideas, and means you’ll all go home with a beautiful floral arrangement or flower crown instead of a birthday hangover! Got some hard working employees to inspire? Ditch the awkward ice breakers and tacky trust falls for your next team building activity, and choose floristry instead – the soothing power of nature will help to alleviate any workplace tensions and you’ll all leave with some creative new skills to boot!
Upcoming nuptials? Treat the hen party girls to a glorious flower crown workshop, where you’ll all discover how to turn beautiful blooms into a breathtaking headdress – perfect for the ceremony or even just for wearing to the cocktail bar once the floristry class is over! And if you’re keen to DIY the big day, gathering the girls for a class in wedding flower arrangements makes a great alternative to the usual hen do plans – after all, who wouldn’t want to swap sashes for sweetpeas and learn how to make gorgeous wedding centrepieces, beautiful buttonhole flowers and spectacular wedding bouquets? Cheers!
Houseplants and flowers make great handmade gifts
Whatever the occasion, if you want to say it with flowers this 2024 an Edinburgh floristry course will help you leave shop bought bouquets well and truly behind!
Whether you’ve got a magnificent Mum that deserves the best this mother’s day or your plant loving pal has a milestone birthday coming up, a floristry experience gift or plant care course makes a great long-lasting alternative to the usual supermarket blooms. Your favourite guy or gal will get to gather together with fellow nature lovers and learn how to make a wreath, create beautiful floral arrangements or whip up an indoor garden at a glass terrarium class – what better way to let them know how much you care?
Alternatively, if they’re not the creative type, why not sign yourself up and craft a handmade gift for them instead? Head off to a flower arranging class and learn how to wrap a hand tied bouquet that will really take their breath away, or get creative with clay at a wheel throwing workshop to make some gorgeous ceramic pots for all their house plant pals – whatever you choose, we’re sure it’ll give them a day to remember!
