Last night I attended the UKAWP Floral Emergency Workshop led by the wonderful florists Simon and Victoria of Euphoric.
Attended by a number a fab UKAWP wedding planners many of whom I know, we had great fun learning lots of basic floristry skills from wrapping wires, creating buttonholes and corsages and putting together hand tied bouquets; just the kind of thing that might come in handy of the day of a wedding if we need to fix a floral emergency!
Here are a few pics I took of the evening on my IPod Touch (I was recommended a cool photo app this week called Hipstamatic, this was my first time trying it out)
Wiring my roses and leaves in preparation to make into a buttonhole
My completed corsage
After making the buttonholes which we then turned into corsages we did some speed hand tying with tulips
… my first attempt
We were then shown how to make a more compact hand tied bouquet, here are a few shots of mine...
