Thinking about doing your own wedding flowers? You’re not alone—many brides are drawn to the idea of creating something meaningful and personal for their big day. But when it comes to wedding flowers, there’s more to it than just making a pretty bunch.
Weddings and events have a specific rhythm: your florals need to look flawless for just a few key hours—not survive for days like a vase arrangement at home. That means your flower prep, choice of blooms, and how you condition and design them all needs to be tailored for wedding day perfection.
This workshop is designed to give you the practical skills and insider knowledge to confidently take on your own florals. You’ll learn how to prepare your blooms so they last through the day, how to choose flowers that are in season and event-appropriate, and how to make them look like a professional’s touch—even if you’re the one holding the snips.
During the workshop, I’ll take you through:
Flower prep 101: the way we condition flowers for short-term use
A run-through of seasonal favourites and how to make the most of what’s available
A bouquet-making demonstration with tips on structure, layering, and tying
A mini hands-on session where you’ll make your own floral arrangement in a vase or pot
How to craft a simple but elegant boutonnière—great practice for personal flowers like buttonholes and corsages
You’ll leave with:
A take-home floral arrangement and boutonnière you’ve made yourself
A handy booklet full of notes and tips to help you recreate everything later
Tea, coffee, and snacks to keep your creative energy up
And the confidence to tackle your wedding flowers with joy, not stress
This is a relaxed, encouraging workshop held in the inspiring setting of Lumina, where you’ll be surrounded by other creatives and DIYers just like you. No prior experience needed—just bring your enthusiasm, a love of flowers, and a willingness to learn.
Whether you’re planning to do it all or just the finishing touches, this is your chance to learn from a pro, get hands-on, and make your wedding day that little bit more personal.
