“I recently attended a bouquet-making class at Botanique and it was an absolutely brilliant experience. We were organising an event, and the Botanique team were very efficient and accommodating throughout the planning process, with excellent communication at every stage. The session was held in a stunning open space, beautifully set up and ready for us upon arrival. Our instructor was both knowledgeable and patient, expertly guiding us through flower selection, arrangement techniques, and aqua packing. It was a thoroughly enjoyable and well-executed workshop.”

“I had a private hand tied bouquet workshop at Botanique workshop this month as part of my 25th birthday celebrations and it was beautiful. My experience organising the workshop with the team was seamless with frequent and timely communication throughout. The day itself was beautiful and I want to especially thank our florist that taught the workshop Danielle, who made it such a special day for me and my girls. Everything was done with excellence and Danielle made it so fun. She was clear in her teaching explanation and demonstrations and handled my group of 10 with ease. A floral arranging workshop may be an unusual birthday celebration idea but if you want to do a private workshop or any of their workshop events I would highly recommend. We had so much fun, the selection of flowers was stunning and everything was provided for us. Botanique workshop is my new favourite independent florist and I wish Alice and the girls all the best.”

Wreath Making Workshop

Agenda of the day: A demonstration from one of our florists on how to create a moss-based wreath, along with a guide to the foliage you’ll be using.

Unique to this workshop: This one’s all about festive spirit - ideal for Christmas events with clients, family, or friends. You’ll also learn how to attach ribbons and personalise your design.

“Four of us attended a wreath making workshop at Botanique, as part of a company Christmas party. The set up was brilliant, the teaching was a lot of fun, a great atmosphere was created within the studio and we enjoyed every minute of the process. The choice of greenery and additional items were perfect and making a wreath from scratch was really therapeutic. We were all totally delighted with our wreaths which made a wonderful start to the festive season and lasted the duration. We would highly recommend the Botanique team and would definitely attend again. We also took some time to take a look around the florist shop which as well as flowers, has many lovely handmade gift items to purchase, a lovely shop, great ethos and we would also recommend a visit there too.”
