Do you think you may need a little help with your wedding prep?
Are you wondering how you to make your wedding unique?
Do you fancy picking up a few tricks of the trade from industry professionals?
Wedding stylist Kate Fletcher of Vintage Style Hire and florist Sam Cotterrell of Violets & Velvet are running styling workshops in their barn in the North Essex countryside.

Sam will teach you the floristry skills that will help you create your own wedding flowers. She will share her tricks of the trade to give your flowers a professional and unique finish and show you innovative ways to combine props with flowers for some quirky designs. You will also create your very own hand tied bouquet and a retro style flower heart to take home.
