Seasonal Mastery: Advanced Floral Design Masterclass Series

A focused, design-led studio workshop exploring how wedding-worthy, garden-inspired bouquets are created using seasonal material and thoughtful construction.

Working with specialty flowers grown here at The Flowersmith Studio, this session looks at how colour, texture and form are combined with strong internal structure to create bouquets that feel light, expressive and flower-filled — while still performing beautifully in real-world use.

All bouquets created during this session are approached as wedding-worthy designs — meaning they are considered not only for beauty, movement and expression, but also for reliability, balance and real-world use.

This workshop looks at how wedding-level results are achieved through both thoughtful material selection and practical construction, including spiral technique, internal support and assisted methods that allow airy, flower-filled, garden-inspired bouquets to be created without sacrificing structure or durability.

 Who this workshop is for: 

This workshop is designed for floristS, advanced hobbyists and confident designers who would like to deepen their bouquet practice and natural aesthetic .  

Some prior experience with floral arranging is recommended.

This is a short, focused and elevated studio workshop centred on creating refined, garden-inspired bouquets suitable for weddings, events and editorial-style work

This is a small-group, design-focused studio intensive created for those who would like to explore how natural, seasonal floral installations are conceived, planned and executed — beyond a standard flower arranging class. 

Taking place within the studio and garden environment at The Flowersmith Studio, the session works with an abundance of specialty flowers, foliage and textural material grown on site, allowing participants to design with plants at their freshest and most expressive stage.

 In this hands-on, full-day studio session, you will explore how flowers can transform a space and create a strong sense of mood, atmosphere and place.

Working with seasonal material and foam-free methods, the focus is on how installations are designed to respond to their surroundings and evoke a clear feeling, scene or narrative.

The working setting for the day is chosen to best suit the conditions and creative focus of the session, allowing the space itself to become part of the design process.

This is not about copying a fixed installation style or producing multiple set pieces.

Instead, the studio centres on one carefully designed seasonal installation, allowing you to explore the full creative and practical process in depth.

The emphasis is on how design decisions are translated into clear, practical methods that can be applied to real spaces, events and creative projects.

What you’ll learn

• How to observe and read a space before designing into it
• How scale, proportion and placement influence how an installation is experienced
• How colour, texture and material choice shape seasonal mood and atmosphere
• How to develop a clear design idea or narrative and translate it into a workable installation plan
• How to apply foam-free, sustainable mechanics to natural installation work
• How to adapt your design thinking for different types of spaces and settings

What’s included

• A curated and abundant selection of specialty, seasonal flowers, foliage and textural material grown at The Flowersmith Studio
• Access to professional tools and sustainable, foam-free mechanics
• Guided, small-group installation building in a studio setting
• Opportunities to design and contribute individual elements within the shared installation
• Individual guidance and design feedback throughout the day
• A light seasonal lunch and refreshments (tea and coffee)
