Hayford and Rhodes Flower School

Laura: I’ve seen a lot in February 2007 would be so popular with all the bridal magazines. We’ve taken the chance to actually create our own flower school. All the bridal magazines constantly ask us for our top tips and budgeting ideas, trends for 2009. We kind of decided that there was a great chance to actually bring the brides to the shop themselves and show them how to do it first hand. Joanna: Brides normally like to come along to do the classes just so they can get a fair look which flowers work well to get there. We’re also just going to give them some tips. Laura: So they can come into the shop themselves and create bouquets and table centers, corsages, so it’s really a chance to live through magazines, get inspiration and look through a ribbon. We got ribbons and all sorts of vases. It just helps them find some inspiration and actually create something that suits them, but also incorporates trends for 2009. The classes currently are sort of morning classes or afternoon classes for about two to three hours. Obviously, if you have one session, you could run it all day depending on how much time you need the best. The price range is from probably about 90 pounds, that’s for a two and a half hour class and that includes champagne and cake and a chance to take away a sample bouquet which you’ve started yourself with us. Joanna: Today, I’m actually creating a sample table center which we’re going to incorporate using some beautiful furniture but we’re going very much with a vintage some 1920’s fern. We’re doing a very sort of very much an English vintage design but it still runs in place. As you can see here, we’ve actually created the pond base with Skimmia, eucalyptus, rosemary just because for the lovely sense of texture so you got that lovely sense coming through. So once you’ve got your sort of base, then I’m going to introduce the flowers. Laura: This has got a strong some 1930’s theme which picks up on a hefner where it’s branding really. We’re so popular for our sort of heritage—the English heritage of the company. We find a lot of brides, they’re looking for something that combines with classic flowers but with a slightly contempt to the edge unlike this glass which is sort of a 1930’s of a decade feel which just lifts and gives it more of a modern edge to the more traditional. Joanna: If we actually look at the colors that we’re using, we’re not actually using anything with two sort of hard colors. If you look, everything is very delicate so you got this beautiful green high range with a sense of green running through it. If you just say the soft leaves sort of blends in and then we’re going to use these lovely Pink Weiss just to lift is slightly. Laura: And then smell amazing. Joanna: Now, I’m going to actually start grouping the flowers. I’ve actually done the base with a high range running through. If you can see, you want your eye to be aboard around all the arrangements so I haven’t just put the high range at one height, I’ve sort of run it all around to all different levels so your eyes sort of move around the arrangement rather than just block one area. And even, we like to sort of group things. It gives them a large focal area rather than your eyes sort of—you need to have large focal areas especially in your table centers where eyes can get distracted. Normally, when you want to organize arrangements, you have two larger flowers that needs to be a little bit more delicate just to soften edges, and something like a paper works perfect and it smells fine. Laura: The funnel’s core will be held at the cream straight branch which is where we’re working from today. We cater for groups of 16 people or smaller groups. And again, we can do it during the week or any day at the weekends to cater for large groups or small groups or individuals looking to learn to make their own bouquets. Joanna: As you can see by the bridal bouquet, we’ve ran the same type of flowers through in the table center. So we’ve kept the same dazzling rays and the paper whites and we’ve got the beautiful high range in clusters. We decided not to put the high range in the bridal bouquet which I really don’t’ recommend. We the speeds for green thistle which is very much in the season and then keeping with the table center. So we got this sort of 1920 vintage sheep cloth with this lovely sort of silver glass with sort of very much cream velvet ribbon. Laura: Down at the flower course, it’s just an opportunity to create these things for yourself and to get inspiration and looks for a magazine, fill our ribbons, get a feel for the color combinations that you want to do and come away with a really solid idea at the flowers that you want for your wedding whether it’s a tool vase, short vase, and a candle arrangement like this. It’s just to help educate people and go away feeling really good about the flowers that you’re going to have on your wedding day.
