Everlasting Festive Wreath Workshop

Create an everlasting Christmas wreath with preserved flowers in our floristry short courses in Sydney!

Craft a truly unique festive wreath using a beautiful mix of dried and fresh materials, carefully selected for their colour, texture, and longevity. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll discover how to work with premium natural botanicals that not only look stunning on the day, but dry gracefully into an elegant display piece that lasts well beyond the holiday season.

Guided by an experienced tutor, you’ll explore a range of wreath-making techniques you can return to for future projects—season after season. From shaping your base to layering foliage, florals, textures and accents, you’ll learn how to design a piece that reflects your own style. No two wreaths are ever the same; each becomes a one-of-a-kind creation as individual as you are.

Whether you’re decorating your home, gifting something handmade, or simply wanting to spend a joyful few hours immersed in creativity, this workshop offers a relaxed, inspiring, and high-quality festive experience.
