If you're interested in learning floristry, you can participate in an online course hosted by Paula Pryke OBE, a renowned florist who has been honoured by the Queen for her contribution to modern floral design in the UK. Paula has prepared various online resources for those who are enthusiastic about arranging flowers.
The course covers the basics of floristry in four video workshops, where you will learn how to choose the best blooms, combine florals with foliage, and extend the life of your flowers. You will also learn professional florists' secrets, such as using chicken wire and agra wool, wrapping flowers for delivery, and selecting the right containers.
To complete the practical workshop part of the course, you will need some flowers, which you can get from your local market, florist, or even your garden. As long as you have the blooms, expert Paula will help you work your floristry magic.
For those who are getting into flower arranging, the Expert Floristry course option provides personal feedback from Paula on your floral designs and presentations, going beyond online learning. It's a perfect choice for those who want to enhance their flower-arranging skills.
