DIY Wedding Flowers Course

One Day Course

Embark on a floral journey with The Bath Flower School's latest addition to our course schedule!

For all of you enthusiastic soon to be married couples out there looking to do your own wedding flowers, our DIY wedding flowers course is designed with you in mind!

With a focus on sustainability, this course is dedicated to showing you how to make beautiful, naturally styled wedding flowers using locally sourced British blooms. Our aim is to equip you with the knowledge and skills to be able to make your wedding flowers confidently.

We’ll start the day off guiding you through the sourcing of flowers, seasonality, essential flower care, determining quantities, and exploring flower recipes – essentially, all the fundamental steps before you can begin to get creative.

Next, we’ll move onto the making. For each of the designs listed below, we'll provide a technical demonstration, guiding you through the process step by step. We'll discuss concepts and ideas for each design, ensuring that your flowers perfectly reflect your wedding.

Bridal Bouquet –
Bridal bouquets play a significant role in weddings. Gone are the days of stiff, formal, and outdated flower arrangements. Instead, we'll show you how to create a front-facing bouquet that accentuates the flowers' natural beauty and individual features. Whether you opt for silk or velvet ribbon, we'll demonstrate how to add the perfect finishing flourish to your bouquet.

Natural Buttonhole –
Natural Buttonholes offer a more relaxed and informal alternative. Essentially, they consist of a small bunch of flowers attached to the lapel. By selecting the appropriate flowers, foliage, and employing the right techniques, there's no need for wiring. The beauty of this style is they can be prepared in advance and kept fresh in water.

Table Centrepiece
Table centres are a great way to elevate your wedding décor. Using foam free mechanics, you will make a naturally styled table centrepiece that encapsulate the essence of your wedding theme. After honing your floral skills, we'll explore ways to enhance your creations with candles, vessels, and elegant embellishments giving you various inspirational ideas for your wedding. 

To wrap up the day, we'll enjoy some delicious homemade cake and a cuppa, followed by a Q&A session to address any remaining questions. At this point, we encourage you to ask as many questions as possible about your own wedding plans, ensuring that we cover all aspects thoroughly. This will leave you feeling fully informed, confident, and well-prepared.

WHO IS THE COURSE SUITABLE FOR?
No previous flower experience is needed. We will teach you all the necessary skills. Whilst this course is aimed at those who are wanting to do DIY wedding flowers, it isn’t exclusively for that audience. If you like the sound of the course and think that its something you’d enjoy, then we would love to have you at the flower school.
