Today is the perfect day, as it’s Florist Friday, to make a very special announcement about my new venture…something which I hinted about on Instagram last week. I’m SO excited to let you know that I’m launching workshops especially for florists, starting with a Social Media for Florists workshop in London on Tuesday, 1st July!
As I’m sure you’re aware, I’m passionate about the floristry industry and with my background in training from my old job in the City, I’m so looking forward to sharing all my knowledge about Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram and Blogging with you, to help you grow your business. And I can’t wait for you to meet the truly inspirational lady who I’m collaborating with on this workshop, Fiona Humberstone. She is the go-to person for branding know-how (and also happens to adore flowers too…as you’ll see from her Instagram feed!)
As for the venue…well…we really did search high and low, wanting to find somewhere which had the right atmosphere for creatives like you. And I’m thrilled to have secured Brixton East, a 19th Century warehouse full of character.
Details of this jam-packed day are below:
So, if you’d like to join Fiona and I on our very first Social Media for Florists workshop, simply pop over to Eventbrite to secure your place. Spaces are limited and will be allocated on a first come, first served basis. It would so lovely to see you there…

June 13, 2014 at 3:15 pmHi Rona, I love to see you spreading the word for florists who want to succeed online. I have the great responsibility of managing the social media for a local florist who is a friend of mine and I absolutely love it! If I were in London I’d be there for sure! Keep up the good work. PS we’re @floralbuds on twitter.

This sounds really interesting, but this deep in wedding season, getting away from the business is impossible! If there are plans for an Autumn workshop, please let us know. Love the blog!

Sounds like an amazing course. Alas I can’t make it to London next week but am definitely interested in it. Are there plans to run future courses outside London or with the option for online participation? Would be great to roll out to those of us in the sticks!!
Hope life is going well. Seems you are busier than every!
Best wishes

I was just wondering what programme you used to make the lovely flyers above. I really like the transparent box effect so you can still see what is behind the text, but with a darker box.
Thanks
Holly
