A slightly delayed post as we’re busily cooking up plans behind the scenes!

Just a quick peep at the Creative Contemporary arrangement we made at our Flower Lovers hobby course last week - it was utterly delightful working with our students on a playful design using these beautiful blooms 😍

Who says that flowers aren’t available in Winter? Not us. Our Flower Lovers hobby students completed their 3rd lesson today and we have to say, the light, airy and simply joyous centrepieces they made today went well beyond expectation! Just look at this beauty they created from gorgeous, Australian-grown wintery blooms today combined with ferns and glossy deep green foliage. It’s a proud day for us 🧡 . . . . . #winter #flowers #poppies #tulips #centrepiece #adelaideflorist #floristryclass #floristryschool #thewestendflowerschool

Poppies, one our winter favourites, easing out of their little hairy jackets this morning in the sun to reveal those beautifully crumpled petals inside 🧡

Here’s a little view into our Vase Arrangement workshop from today which, despite the chill in the air turned out to be a real winter warmer. We shared beautiful flowers, laughs, tips, stories and a pot of tea with a small but very sweet group of flower enthusiasts who made absolutely gorgeous arrangements, each with their own creative style. And the flowers 😍 - deliciously scented stocks, lisianthus, poppies, feverfew daisies and red hot pokers for an unexpected, playful element. What a beautiful Saturday. We hope yours was just as good! . . . . . #vase #arrangement #workshop #adelaide #floristryclass #floristryschool #winterwarmer #weekendactivity #thewestendflowerschool

Some Wintry beauties with a surprise tropical twist from last weekend’s Creative Contemporary Workshop where we treated flowers as prized specimens, giving each one the reverence and space they deserve 🧡

Secure your spot now for some floral fun at our next Vase Arrangement Workshop coming up on Saturday 22nd June.

In this winter warmer of a session you’ll learn how to arrange flowers beautifully into a vase using easy to learn techniques.

Watch our professional floristry instructor demonstrate and describe how to make this beautiful piece then create your own thing of beauty under friendly guidance.

All you need to bring is your enthusiasm, we’ll provide the rest and you’ll get to take some fabulous flowers home along with a sense of achievement 😊
