Thank you all for your kind words. It is a year college course condensed into 6 days.
I am exhausted at day 3!
We have different teachers but the first three days have been the same one. She actually gave me the nickname "Secret florist" i love anything crafty as you all know. This would be my absolute dream. Balloons, flowers, crafting. X

Thank you everyone for your kind words. I very much doubt myself.
Today's makes are below. Not my favourite day however, skills learnt nonetheless.
The cross was a way of using willow. Something that perhaps might be used at Easter.

I think the basket was the best make of today. Very easy and also longer lasting and beautiful.
Tomorrow is wedding flowers!! That will be very intense.

What an amazing course to be able to do a year’s worth in 6 days…fantastic! You are talented at the flower arranging. I used to grow flowers for a market and we made bouquets but I found that part the hardest. Your arrangements and bouquets all look amazing.

All your photos have been gorgeous. Is floristry something you would like to pursue in the future? I used to work with someone whose dream job was to open a florist shop (we both worked in a policy role and whenever she had a bad day she would talk about her dream job!)

Thank you for the lovely comments. Today we looked at wedding flowers. We have a "recipe" so use what we are asked, obviously each bride is different!

The course is over and I am so sad. I have had the most amazing week.
Today we did a mock event (wedding) as a team, a bracelet and a flower crown.

The flower crown (wrapped around my bun, so not as neat as it would be).
