Students Learn How to Make a Professional Hand Tied Bouquet of Flowers

What an amazing few days we have had at the Flower School this weekend.  We began a new Sympathy Course on Saturday but will talk more about that in another Blog, but Sunday and Monday saw 2 Hand Tied Bouquet Workshops.

We had students from all over the country with some of them being sent  from Flower Shops to perfect their skills in time for Valentine's Day.

After practice and taking them apart and doing them over and over again every one of the Hand Tied Bouquets made stood up on their own.  (we love to see this ) 

The Students learned how to wrap and Bouquet of Flowers, How to Make an Aqua Pack for the end of a Presentation Hand Tied Bouquet and then Finally they used the amazing Floral Box from Floral Fair to finish of their Bouquet.

Below are a few Photos of some of our

Beginners Commercial Flower Arranging Course

Day 1 & 2 of our Beginners Commercial Flower Arranging Course saw a brand new bunch of students arrive to Kay's School to begin their new venture onto the world of floristry. 

We have a full course of ladies this time with no Men to grace our presence but we do a have one of the largest array of nationalities to date. 

We were delighted to welcome Erica from Lithuania living in Dublin, Justyna from Poland living in Balbriggan, Timea from Slovakia  living in Kilkenny, Elvyra from Lithuania living in Waterford and Silva from Germany.  We also welcomed Bernadette from Dublin, Caroline from Limerick, Muireann from Carlow  & Kim & Hazel from Dublin. 

Within hours some of the students had swapped phone numbers and were organising lifts and those staying in the Hilton organising to meet fro dinner.  It amazes us how quickly a group of strangers bond in a matter of hours. 

Below is just some of the designs the ladies designed over the first 2 days of their course.

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,

Michael is the worldwide distributor of these boxes and you will not get anything like them anywhere else.  If you are a florist you can order a free sample here from Floral Box Website
