“A very useful book for anyone wanting to learn good floristry techniques or refresh their skills. Having done Judith’s Wedding Flower course, I found this an excellent reference book for when I couldn’t quite remember how to do something like wiring an orchid. Lovely photos and very inspiring. Like all her books, they are essential for any budding florist who wants to ‘do it right’!”

Just wanted to say a HUGE thank you, for another fabulous course! Both courses have taken me back to many happy memories of my mum and dad’s flower shop as a child. The tutors were super, I loved Dawn she was very much on my wave length and left handed like me! It’s been an absolute delight working with beautiful flowers and learning new techniques.

I just wanted to say thank you for the fantastic course this week. As a beginner the teaching was really very good – inspirational, fun and so informative and made me think I am capable of making the most incredible flower creations. Even possibly selling some at a later date ( with more practice I think!).
Thank you again. I have little doubt I will be back to build on this weeks knowledge and skills.

The course was an absolute joy to attend. Everyone was so welcoming and helpful throughout. The calibre of the teaching delivered by each of the tutors was exceptional. Each tutor went above and beyond to share their professional expertise and insights to the industry. I have gained huge amounts of knowledge and inspiration from you all and look forward to putting my new skills into practice.

I thoroughly enjoyed the Purely Weddings course. All tutors were very nice and lovely to talk with, they were experienced, and provided us with all the right guidance with a very thorough knowledge on floristry. It was a very fun course to be apart of. I was also so impressed with the quality of the flower/plant materials that were used as I still was able to use them to practise with, nearly one week on!
