Working in a florist

I went into Michelle Floral Design in Witham for a few hours yesterday to help make up some orders for table arrangements. And today I have a whole day of making my own orders! Busy busy, I can almost start to relax for Christmas though :)

Running my own workshop

I had my first little workshop experience tonight...my friend Emily came over (for a family party, totally normal time to make Christmas arrangements!) and she made this beautiful table arrangement all by herself, with only a little input from me. I think she did a fab job and I really enjoyed helping her and teaching her a few little tips and tricks!

Christmas wreath workshop

I've had a great day today at a Lily and May wreath workshop with my friend Emily. Looking back at the number of wreaths I've made you'll probably wonder why I've gone on a workshop but I wanted to make a wreath for fun just for me, and have a fun day out with my friend (you'll see photos of the flowers I did for her wedding in a previous post). It was also great to experience another florist working and learn in a different way than I do at college. Now, time to put the Christmas decorations up! (And tidy up my workshop, Claire's beautiful studio puts mine to shame!)

 

Emily and Mike

I did the church flowers for Emily and Mike in the summer and the professional photos have come back - my flowers look great in them! The photos are by Rebecca Farries and the bride's bouquet is by Lily and May.
