Flower arranging workshops let you explore floristry styles

London floristry courses aren’t just about handling flowers; they delve deep into different styles and trends as well! From traditional English garden floral arrangements to extravagant tropical displays, each style has its unique characteristics waiting for you to uncover. So whether it’s minimalist Ikebana or opulent Baroque that catches your eye, every session brings something new.

Understanding colour theory and design

Have you ever wondered why some bouquets seem more visually pleasing than others? The secret lies within colour theory and design principles. At our flower arranging classes in London, you'll gain an understanding of how colours interact with each other and the emotions they evoke, which will boost your confidence when choosing flowers for specific occasions or moods. 

Here's what a happy customer had to say about their floral design class:

"I had a fabulous morning with Khin. I leaned so much I had always wanted to know about flower arranging. I can’t wait to try out on my own. The tour of the flower market was excellent. He has given me some me useful tips I will definitely use in the future. The studio is a lovely place to work. A memorable morning." -  Sally Playfoot, Flower Market Tour and Bouquet Workshop

Mastering essential floristry tools

Equally important as blossoming creativity is knowing your tools. Our sessions include practical lessons on using basic florist equipment such as stem strippers, floral foam, wires and tapes – and how to use them safely. Safe handling and proper maintenance are super important for an efficient workflow - skills that every budding florist should master.

Exploring different types of flowers

Enrolling in our flower arranging classes in London also means diving into an ocean of diverse flora species – so if you’re a nature fan, you’ll definitely love our workshops! You'll learn about different types of flowers, their seasonality, care requirements and how best to combine them for maximum visual impact.

Suggested experiences in London

Embracing sustainability

In today's eco-conscious world, sustainable floral design is more critical than ever. Our London floristry courses will educate you about environmentally friendly practices such as using locally sourced flowers, reducing waste and avoiding harmful chemicals.

Hand-tied bouquet techniques

A core skill taught in many classes is how to create stunning hand-tied bouquets. You'll learn the spiralling technique for arranging stems, how to secure them properly, and the best methods for wrapping and presenting your bouquets.

Here's what one budding florist had to say about their hand-tied bouquet class:

Amazing class, Malina took her time to explain each step. Highly recommend this class! Karis Nimmo, Fresh flower bouquet workshop

Wiring and taping techniques

For more intricate designs, such as wedding bouquets or corsages, you'll learn how to wire individual flowers and foliage to provide support and allow for more flexibility in arranging. You'll also learn how to use floral tape to conceal wires and create a professional finish.

London floristry courses give hands-on experience

There's no better way to learn than by doing, and our workshops provide plenty of hands-on experience. Under the guidance of seasoned florists, you'll get to play with different textures, shapes and hues - all while creating stunning floral arrangements that reflect your personal style.
