Beginners Bridal Course - Day 2

Day 2 of our Beginners Bridal Floristry Training Course

Everyone decided to come in a little earlier today so we could all finish earlier and make the most of the fantastic weather.
Janette was well ahead of the possy and had been in since 8 getting started on some of the wiring.  Today everyone was going to complete an all wired bridal posy and some will turn them into a teardrop shape.
It was nearly 12 before all the wiring and taping was finished, but you could see how well they were all mastering the technique and were getting faster.
Orchids, Lillies, Roses, Baby Carnations and lisianthus were wired up, some decided to include Gyp in their bouquets.
After morning coffee we all got to work assembling the posy bouquets and then some added the tail piece to create a shower bouquet.

Beginners Bridal Course May 2012

Last weekend saw the return of some of our past Flower Arranging Students and also a couple of new students  to learn the skills needed for bridal & Wedding Florsitry.
Day 1 of our course is normally taken up with Hand Tied Bouquets which they mastered very well and turned out some gorgeous bouquets.   We also trained them how to design an array of button holes using different flowers, this week they did orchid, rose and double carnation buttonholes.
to finish of a very full on busy day they each made up a flower girls wand, which are proving very popular this year particularly with Holy communion Girls.

Unaccustomed   as we are to such hot weather the flowers held up well and so did our amazing students .

About Brooch Bouquets

Over the years since Kay's School has been delivering courses we have been asked by students & brides alike what to do if the Bride suffers from allergies and is allergic to flowers ??? and for many years we have been advising artificial silk flowers, well now we are so delighted to be able to offer an alternative in the form of Vintage or Heirloom Brooch Bouquets.  These bouquets are designed from an array of materials, with brooches being probably the most popular.
At Kay's we can now offer a kit that includes everything you need to create your own Brooch Bouquet.  if you would like the opportunity to design your bouquet drop us an email at kschool@ireland.com and we can send you on details of all your different options
