In 2017 I spent around $10k and 6 full-time months getting formally qualified as a nationally-accredited florist - yet 99% of what I do in my own wedding business has been self-taught.
I always knew from the get-go that I wanted to have my own wedding business (in fact, I launched my business the week after I graduated from my course!). I wanted to do things 'the right way' - and at the time, there were no real floral training alternatives.
Now don't get me wrong, there is a time and place for formal education - and if you want to learn the traditional foundations of floristry, or want to go down more of the retail floristry path or work for a retailer, the formal qualification is probably best to do.
But if you are like me, and have the dream of working in the wedding industry creating modern floral designs, perhaps your time and money would be best placed into a different floral education experience - one that will teach you a more modern approach (AND you'll get some amazing content from too!)
Do you have the dream of making money for flowers, and have the courage to pursue creativity?
My 1:1 workshops are an intimate educational experience, designed to help you learn about my approach to creating wildly romantic floral designs for weddings.
This workshop is a perfect for any creative looking to fulfil their creative heart while enhancing their floral design skill set. We will dive deep into choosing floral ingredients, creating unique colour palettes and using movement and dimension to create elegantly ethereal designs.
The workshop can be customised to your specific floral vision. Choose your very own subject material from bouquet designs, arbours, buttonholes, and centrepieces.

Sarah took the time to get to know me and my business goals, and tailored the entire workshop experience to me. The workshop exceeded my already high expectations in every single way. With Sarah’s expert guidance, I was amazed at what I was able to create... Now I have beautiful professional imagery to use in marketing my new business. Sarah clearly has a calling not only for flowers, but also for teaching. She is kind, encouraging, and I know that I have gained a mentor and supporter going forward far beyond the workshop.
