This is not just a workshop. And it’s not just a visit to Chelsea. This is a rare opportunity to experience both sides of large-scale floral design.
Who This Is For
This experience is designed for florists looking to develop their understanding of large-scale work – not just in theory, but in practice.
It offers a rare combination of hands-on learning and real-world context at the highest level.
The Workshop Experience
Flowervision Bristol | Wednesday 6 May, 11am – 6pm
Spend the day creating a large-scale installation alongside Millie Richardson and Wedding Metal Art, building your confidence in the mechanics, structure and decision-making behind large-scale work.
This isn’t about watching from the sidelines. You’ll be part of it.
You will create a large-scale installation under guidance, leaning not only the practical side but also:
– Planning and developing large-scale designs
– Mechanics, structure and installation techniques
– The thinking behind impactful work at scale
– The commercial considerations that underpin large-scale projects
Alongside this, Wedding Metal Art will guide you through the structures and mechanics used to support work at this level, helping you understand how design and engineering come together.
Behind the Scenes at Chelsea
Wednesday 19 May from 6:30am
Then step inside one of the most prestigious events in the floral calendar, the RHS Chelsea Flower Show, with exclusive early access before the doors open to the public.
See what most never get to see.
The build-up.
The final checks.
The atmosphere before it all begins.
You’ll also have the opportunity to see Millie and her team carrying out final adjustments to her installation at the Bull Ring Gate.
Following this, you’ll have a full day to explore the show at your own pace.
