Module Two
Floral Arrangement Design
Module Two introduces students to base mediums and sustainable mechanics, including glass vases, ceramics with chicken wire or kenzan, and floral foam alternatives. Students create a range of arrangements, foliage-based vase designs, ceramic arrangements, round vase designs, linear forms, and vegetative compositions, supported by step-by-step demonstrations.
Throughout the module, students learn key arrangement shapes, explore design styles (decorative, linear, and vegetative), practice costing, and style their work for photography. Sustainability is a major focus, with discussions on eco-friendly mechanics and industry best practices. The module concludes with an in-class shop order assessment to give each student real-world experience of successfully understanding a client's brief.
Module Three
Wedding Floristry
Module Three immerses students in professional wedding floristry, covering everything from client consultations, quotes, and seasonal flower selection to full ceremony set-ups. Students gain hands-on experience creating traditional and modern bouquets, semi-wired shower bouquets, buttonholes, corsages, fascinators, bridal pieces, cake decorations, and floral installations.
The module also focuses on wiring techniques, bouquet packaging, delivery logistics, styling, photography, and costing, giving students the skills and confidence to manage wedding orders from concept to creation.
Module Four
Revision & Creative Event Designs

By the end, students are confident delivering professional event floristry from concept to installation, ready for the pace and precision of industry production work.
WEDDINGS & EVENTS
"I love to create large arrangements and ceiling installations, I chose to work on the wedding and event side of floristry and take as many opportunities to freelance as possible to gain experience."
