Christmas Wreath Workshops
Slow down, get festive, and make something beautiful with nature.
There's something rather lovely about making your own Christmas traditions — and this will be our third year of doing exactly that.
Join Bouquets on a Boat this November and December for a cosy evening of seasonal creativity in Hackney Wick, in a brand-new home for the workshop: a quiet, private studio space, just for us.
We'll spend a few hours surrounded by fragrant evergreens, moss, pine, conifer and natural textures, making our own beautiful Christmas wreaths, with a glass of something festive in hand.
Whether you come with friends, a partner, or simply fancy an evening of doing something creative on your own, this is a chance to step away from the Christmas rush for a little while and reconnect with something slower and more grounding.
No floristry experience needed. Just come ready to make, chat and enjoy.
What we'll do
We'll begin by getting to know the seasonal materials, and I'll guide you through creating your wreath from start to finish.
You'll work with a fresh moss base on a reusable wire ring, using a beautiful selection of seasonal greenery and natural decorations to create something completely your own.
I'll show you the techniques and share plenty of tips along the way, but there are no rules about how your wreath should look. Rustic, wild, traditional, whimsical or wonderfully wonky - make it yours.
And while we create, there'll be Prosecco, mulled wine and seasonal nibbles, good music, and plenty of time to chat.
A little something to take home
As well as your handmade Christmas wreath, you'll leave with a small Bouquets on a Boat seasonal goodie bag; a little collection of treats and botanical surprises to continue the experience at home.
Think of it as a small reminder to slow down, make space for yourself, and enjoy the season.

A new home for this year - Still in the heart of Hackney Wick, now in a quiet, private studio space at:
Mainyard Studios, Hackney Wick
The meeting point is outside the studios, where I'll meet you and show you in.
£60 per person. One ticket per person. Spaces are limited and with three years of these evenings selling out to familiar faces returning year after year, they do go quickly.
Come and make a little Christmas magic.
A few hours away from the rush. Flowers and foliage on the table. Something warm to drink. Good company. And something beautiful you've made yourself to take home.
Make something beautiful. Wear a little piece of the season.
Slow down, get creative and spend an afternoon surrounded by flowers, good company and a little bit of magic.
Join Bouquets on a Boat for a relaxed dried floral crown workshop, where we'll work with beautiful dried flowers, grasses and natural textures to create your own everlasting floral crown.
Whether you're coming with friends, celebrating something special, or simply fancy an afternoon of doing something a little different, this workshop is an invitation to step away from the usual rush and make something with your hands.
I'll guide you through the process from start to finish, sharing tips and techniques along the way, while giving you plenty of freedom to experiment and create something that feels like you.
There are no rules about being "good at floristry". Choose the colours, textures and flowers that catch your eye, play with your arrangement and see where your creativity takes you.
A little afternoon to slow down
We'll spend a few peaceful hours amongst flowers and natural textures, with seasonal refreshments, nibbles and plenty of time to chat and create.
Come on your own and meet some like-minded people, or bring a friend and make an afternoon of it.
You'll leave with your own handmade dried floral crown — an everlasting little reminder of the season, the day and the things you made along the way.
