I’m absolutely crazy for these “wildflower” bouquets! Perfect for a country style or relaxed wedding vibe.⠀ ⠀
It’s so interesting to see Baby’s Breath (Gypsophila or Gyp) come back into fashion but I am loving the use of Chamomile as well! Not only does it make a tasty bed time tea but the flowers are super cute and have a long vase life.⠀

One of the most commonly asked questions about our Career Change Course is, how do I start working once I’ve finished?⠀
⠀
This is of course, dependent on what kind of florist you would like to be, but as part of this course, we will help you find an internship to suit your needs. Whether that be retail floristry, event floristry or even working as a freelancer.⠀
⠀
We teach you how to market and brand your business & yourself in order to start gaining clients as soon as you are ready.⠀
⠀
We also have a network of previous graduates who often work with each other on large scale projects, and some businesses and freelance florists will come to us looking for staff, which we then pass on to our graduates via the private graduates Facebook page.⠀
⠀
The Career Change Course is hands on and here at Bloom College we want our students to have the best experience possible, to feel confident to start working straight away.⠀

Eryngium, most commonly known as Sea Holly, is a stunning combination of delicate and rough. It comes in beautiful hues of blue, violet, green and white. It’s robust, easy to grow, drought resistant & a floristry favourite!⠀
Their flowers are aromatic which attract birds, bees and insects.⠀
Sea Holly is a symbol of independence, severity and attraction.⠀

I love having flowers and plants around me not only because they are beautiful but because they remind me to be present and take a moment to breathe.
The year is racing by and self care activities like meditation can help to slow things down and help you regroup.
What an amazing plant is the cotton plant?!
Planted in summer to bloom around early autumn, it is not actually the flower of this plant that we most covet, but the fluffy white fibres that burst out of what is called the cotton boll.
The flower initially grows on top of the boll and only lasts about 3-4 days before withering and dropping off. The boll then begins to ripen in the sun and the fibres inside begin to expand, bursting out of the boll to create a most fascinating and beautiful natural resource.
Cotton stems seem to come in and out of fashion but are particularly popular arranged alone in a beautiful vase. I am going to try and find some arrangements using this stunning flora to inspire us all!
