We started this journey because wedding floristry felt stuck in outdated methods. Most training programmes focused on speed and volume, not artistry. Clients deserved better. So did aspiring florists.

Since 2019, we've been teaching a different approach. One that treats each bouquet as a narrative worth telling. We work from St Pancras—right in the heart of London—but our students come from across the UK.

How We Actually Started

The truth? It began with frustration. Our founder, Tamsin Beckwith, spent years working for high-end florists who treated bouquets like assembly line products. Fast turnarounds, identical designs, zero creative input from the team.

She wanted to create something different. Not just another floristry business, but a place where people could learn the craft properly. Where technique mattered as much as speed. Where personal style wasn't just allowed—it was expected.

The first workshop happened in a borrowed studio space in early 2019. Six students, all nervous, all convinced they'd never get it right. By the end of the day, they'd created work that surprised them. That's when we knew this approach worked.

What Makes Our Method Different

Seasonal Focus

We don't teach with out-of-season imports. Every course uses British flowers available during that specific month. It forces creativity and teaches you to work with what's actually available when you start your career.

Technical Depth

Most programmes skim over stem mechanics and structure. We spend entire sessions on wiring techniques, balance points, and how to make a bouquet that lasts through a full wedding day without wilting or falling apart.

Business Reality

You'll learn pricing strategies that actually cover your costs. Client communication that sets realistic expectations. How to turn down projects that don't fit your style. The stuff nobody else wants to talk about.

Where We Are Now

We're not trying to be the biggest floristry school in London. We deliberately keep class sizes small—never more than eight students per course. It means longer waiting lists, but it also means every person gets proper attention.

Our next foundation programme starts in September 2025. It runs for twelve weeks, one full day per week. By the end, you'll have built a portfolio of work and the skills to take on your first client projects.

We also offer shorter weekend workshops throughout the year. Those tend to fill up fast—especially the seasonal ones in spring and autumn when British flowers are at their best.

Who You'll Learn From

Orvil Dunphy

Lead Instructor, Bouquet Design

Orvil joined us in 2021 after spending eight years doing flowers for venues across Oxfordshire. He has this way of explaining complex techniques in plain language—no flowery descriptions, just clear steps.

He's particularly good with students who think they're "not creative enough" for floristry. Most of our students come from completely different careers, and Orvil knows how to bridge that gap without making anyone feel behind.

Outside of teaching, he still takes on select wedding commissions. It keeps his work grounded in what clients actually want, which makes his instruction incredibly practical.
