With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, we were sure that the Bloom College floristry school teachers would have some great tales to tell from their many years working as florists.

They didn’t disappoint – and here are their most romantic or memorable Valentine’s Day stories. They’re what we’ve called ‘Valentine’s Day: The Best…and Worst’!

Most romantic:

With only 1 story in this category – it had to be a good one! And it is…

A little boy (around 8 years old) got his Mum to bring him in to the florist to help him buy a flower for his ‘valentine’ at school!!

So cute…and we’re sure she loved it! Isn’t first love sweet?

Most memorable:

These are great – and definitely not easy to forget…

Like the wife who ordered a dozen roses for her husband – with the heads cut off…and a note to say she wanted a divorce!

Or the guy who ran in the front door of the florist in his pj’s! He had snuck out the back door while his partner was in the shower, because he had forgotten to get her something and she had presented a lovely gift for him. He was in a desperate hurry, quickly bought the biggest made up arrangement in the shop, then ran out the front door and down the road to sneak in the back door before she got out of the shower!!

And finally – the husband that ordered 2 sets of flowers. The first set (from him) was to be delivered first. Then the 2nd set to be delivered afterwards (from a ‘secret admirer’). The husband then waited to see if the wife told him about the second delivery…

We’re not sure how these stories ended, but we can probably take a good guess!

At Bloom College Flower Design School we create Floristry Courses and Flower Workshops for beginners, the hobbyist and those wanting to pursue floristry as a career.

Our classes are a place where participants have fun, meet new friends and find their inner creativity. No prior experience is necessary, and we have a range of Courses and Workshops available across our three locations: Port Melbourne, Collingwood and Geelong.
