About the course

Celebrate British Flowers Week by learning how to create a beautiful, foam-free floral table centrepiece using seasonal British blooms. Each participant will make their own arrangement to take home, before joining together to style a stunning tablescape down the centre of the room.

With guidance throughout, you’ll combine your creations with provided props – candles, bud vases, table runners, and more – to design and photograph a cohesive, elegant display.

All materials are included. Suitable for all abilities.

About the tutor

Paula Edgington has worked for over 36 years in the commercial flowers and plants industry in the UK, both in retail, in the head offices of two major high street retailers, and in the commercial growing and production of flowers and plants for retail customers. She has also worked as a consultant within the industry for over 9 years. In 2018, she started her studio-based floristry business popupblooms.com, initially starting with workshops and a market stall, from which the business has evolved into providing seasonally inspired, natural, foam free floristry.
