Floristry girls trips, a bouquet each, and the girls

Somebody in the group always buys herself flowers on a Friday. Somebody else has kept every bouquet she was ever given, pressed in a book. A floristry workshop is that, together. Pick the class, pick your city, and get this girls trip out of the group chat.

Why floristry works for a girls trip

Everyone has a flower she would fight for.

Peonies, garden roses, something wild from the side of the road. Every one of you has a favourite, and the girls could probably name it.

Making something side by side does something a dinner booking can’t. Hands busy, nobody performing, and the real conversation drifting in while everyone fusses over a stem.

And every bouquet ends up looking a little like the woman who made it. The table always has notes.

Flowers for the apartment, and a story about who stole whose ranunculus.

What a floristry workshop is like

Stems, snips and a lot of opinions.

A floristry workshop usually means a table of fresh flowers and foliage, a pair of snips each and someone showing the group how a bouquet or arrangement comes together.

  1. Buckets of stems on the table.

    Fresh flowers and greenery laid out, and the first five minutes spent choosing, swapping and claiming.

  2. Building it, stem by stem.

    Shorter stems at the edges, taller in the middle, and a lot of stepping back to look at it with your head on one side.

  3. Every bouquet looks like her.

    Some go soft and pastel, some go wild and wonderful. The table has opinions about all of it.

  4. Two friends hugging in a kitchen

    Then make it a weekend.

    Book it, then pick a girls weekend in your city, with somewhere to stay, the food, the drinks and where to next, already in an order that works.

What kind of girls group floristry suits

The ones who buy themselves flowers.

It suits the friend who keeps fresh flowers on the bench, and the one who can’t keep a succulent alive but loves a bouquet.

Friends of different ages laughing over a garden lunch with rose

The ones who want to make something.

Hands busy, nobody performing, and something beautiful at the end.

Zero skills required.

Nobody’s bouquet is wrong. Some are just more confident.

The group with a backlog.

The real conversation drifts in while everyone fusses over a stem.

Every age at the table.

From the twenty somethings to the friends who’ve been to every birthday since school.

A milestone birthday.

Flowers for the birthday girl, made by everyone.

Friends from different chapters.

Nothing breaks the ice like a fight over the last peony.

Real girls trip reviews

In their own words, exactly as written.

There are seven of us.

If you ask seven people to separately choose a hotel, dinner, activities and a weekend you will die of old age before the trip happens.

This was better.

Loved it.

A workshop, or a whole girls weekend

Make something, then keep going.

Plenty of groups book a workshop and have a lovely couple of hours. Then everyone’s on the footpath, arms full, working out where dinner is and who’s heading home.

A My Ultimate weekend is the whole thing in one booking: somewhere to stay, something to do built in, the food, the drinks and where to next, so the day turns into a weekend together.

Somewhere to stay, already in it.One living room for the getting ready, the debrief and the morning coffee.
One front door at the end of the night.Everyone heads home to the same place.
