The signature piece of the dried flower world
A simple structure, a metal hoop, and endless possible styles, from the wildest to the most pared-back. Over 1 hour 30, you choose your materials, learn to form small posies and fix them to the frame, then adjust the volumes and layering until the wreath comes together.
1. Choosing materials and preparing
Over a coffee or a tea, you get to know the dried flowers and foliage, their colours and their textures.
You select your materials, settle on your colour harmony and your style, then sort and cut the flowers to the right length to form small posies.
1. Choosing materials and preparing
3. Finishing touches
You fill in the gaps, add a few delicate touches and adjust until you have a wreath that looks like you.
You each go home with your own, ready to hang. It keeps for several months with no water and no upkeep.

“Wild or pared-back? You each make your own.”
Margot, who runs the workshop
Margot took over Flowrette in 2019. Hers isn't the conventional florist's route: she learned from the florists on the team, by watching, trying and starting again. What she passes on in her workshops is exactly that approach: choosing each stem one by one, playing with textures, volumes and shades, and letting everyone compose a piece that suits them rather than copying a model.
