Do you start asking friends and family to look out for brooches in Car-boot sales and second hand shops?

Sympathy & Funeral Tribute Training Course

What a fun week we have had this week, with only 1 new student who had not been to Kay's School before all the rest of our returning students had lots of tales to tell us of their journey into the flower and floristry world.

Monday morning saw the students creating gorgeous eternal circle funeral wreaths in whites and greens.  In the afternnon they took on the challenge of pleating florist ribbon....  and a challenge it was but by the early afternoon they were flying and pinning it onto their heart based wreaths .Using their own style each student designed and decorated their own Heart Shaped Wreath.

Presentation Hand Tied Bouquet in a Floral Box

A very busy day at Kay's School of Floristry today as students learned the art of butting together a very large Hand Tied Bouquet.  The quickly caught on to the spiraling technique and it wasn't long before the mastered the skill of creating these fabulous bouquets.
The ladies learned how to make an aqua pack bubble of water, assembling the floralbox floral boxes, making organza bows and then just to add a bit of bling they added a brooch to their bouquet.

At Kay's School we only ever use Floralbox Flower boxes as we have found these to be the most sturdy box on the market, with the added protection of the plastic bag interior flowers can be easily placed inside without the fear of them toppling over.   Michael from Floralbox  has a beautiful selection of boxes and you will find the link to his Facebook page here,
