Such a fun and enjoyable class! We went for my sister’s hens and were able to use an indoor venue because it was raining. Nikki was so welcoming and very knowledgeable in floristry. We were all inspired by her passion for flowers and left with beautiful flower crowns and full hearts. Can’t recommend this class enough!

DIY Romantic Everlasting Flower Crown
I have a greater appreciation of florists now! The floral wire and tape intricate, but the end result worth it. I ended up finding a children's hat at Vinnies which everyone who sees it, thinks is perfect. Thanks Nikki. Again. I keep doing your classes and love them.
Hannah Millen • Jan 2021
Nikki was really helpful and informative, teaching us some great basic floristry tips and tricks. And guiding us through the process of building a stunning centrepiece vase arrangement. I had lots of fun and walked away with some extra skills and a beautiful vase of flowers. Great if you’re looking to dip your toe into the world of floristry or just for fun!

Nikki was such a great teacher I absolutely LOVED the class and how the wreath turned out. I usually don't have the time do something for myself, or if I do, I always end up doing something for others. Doing this class helped me to completely switch off and think only about how to lay these beautiful flowers around the wreath. Floral arrangements is something that always scared me, but Nikki taught + more

Nikki was helpful and patient, and provided a great range of flowers and foliage to choose from. The class was really great value. Im thrilled with my wreath! The venue is challenging as there is a lot of background noise and shoppers walking by, so it was hard to hear Nikki's explanations. It also took a while for the class to start because there weren't enough chairs etc. I would definitely do another + more

Sarah Gerdovic • Dec 2019
Class was excellent value - a little chaotic with everyone grabbing what they want. I would suggest setting up each table with a selection of at least the base greenery so that people don’t miss out as there was barely anything left when I got to it. Managed to get some Holly after a whilegloves would be super handy too as very spikeyouch!
