5 Days Bridal Work Course
Bridal flowers are a very important part of a wedding. The flower arrangements complete this special festive occasion. Everything needs to be adjusted to each other and breathtaking:
The bridal bouquet, the corsage for the groom, the parents, the guests, the arrangement on the wedding car, the bridesmaids or flower girls bouquets and the flower arrangements on the altar.

This five days professional ‘Bridal Work’ course is specially meant for (former) students and florists who want to concentrate on this (usually) happy side of floristry, but it’s also suitable for those who want to ‘upgrade’ their skills in this specific discipline.

During this five days short professional Bridal Work course, we emphasize, first and foremost, the technical aspects of different kinds of bridal bouquets.

This means that the bridal bouquets in a ‘bridy’ and the bridal bouquets who are tied with different kinds of wiring techniques will be practiced extensively.

Besides this, during this course a lot of other techniques will be taught, which makes this course a very interesting and educational short professional course.
During the Bridal Work Course you will make

Day 1  A bridal bouquet on an Oasis® Princess and a hair piece.

Day 2  A wired Bridal bouquet with Orchids and roses, among others.

Day 3 An altar arrangment. The altar is the center piece of the church when the wedding couple is there. The arrangement on it has to adjust well to the other flower arrangements.

It is significant that you talk with the pastor, priest or rabbi about the altar arrangement because some religions have different determined decorative restrictions. and a floral arrangement against- or around the holy Mary candle: for a ritual in the Roman Catholic church, where the bride lights a special (with flowers decorated) candle at the Holy Mary altar.


Day 4 Different kinds of trendy corsages and a Theme bridal bouquet.
