As with all of our courses, we’ll be working with the season’s best materials, including British grown flowers and foliages, sourced directly from our local growing partners when the season allows. Single use plastics (for example, anchor or pot tape) will be kept to an absolute minimum in this course.
The Wedding Foundation Class is a gentle introduction to wedding floristry, to try a new skill, and immerse yourself creatively. Many students of ours take the Floristry Taster Class as a first step before joining this class.
Please note, no prior experience is required to join us on this Class. Basic tools will be provided.
Available dates:
17th & 18th October 2026
