MEMBERS of Salisbury Flower Club got hands-on with flowers at a special workshop focused on creating beautiful hand-held bouquets.

The session was led by professional florist Caroline Welfare, who shared expert tips and design techniques with attendees before guiding them as they crafted their own arrangements.

Participants were asked to bring along their own flowers, while materials such as wrapping and ribbons were provided to give each bouquet a polished finish.

Caroline shares more tricks to making handheld bouquets with members.

Club chairman Elaine Lunt said: “Caroline supplied wrapping and ribbons to finish the bouquets we made making them delightfully presentable whether going to a dinner party or for a special occasion.

“The concentration of the group was a reflection of everyone’s enjoyment, we had a busy and inspiring evening, Caroline was the perfect instructor to us all.”

The creative evening is just one of many events organised by the club, which continues to welcome new members and visitors.

Another workshop is already planned for Thursday, May 7, when Miyuki Griffin will lead an Ikebana session at South Wilts Grammar School.

Elaine added: “Miyuki has instructed us in the past and it was a very informative demonstration. We look forward to seeing her again and welcoming any visitors who might like to join us.”
