Wannabe Florist looking to assist and shadow

[pixie_jem]

Hello,

My name is Jem and I am currently trying to change career from Mental Health Advocacy to Florist. Obviously this is no easy task but I am attending a leisure floristry course at South Thames College and have just completed hand ties and I'm starting on Christmas designs in a couple of weeks. I have some sort of knack for it and learn quickly but would love to get some more experience. A friend of mine has trusted me to do her wedding also which will take place in December. I am looking for trusting florists to let me assist and shadow them at weddings and events or in their shop. I am happy get my hands dirty, I'm very organised and good at making people smile (or so I'm told) so I hope it would be a mutually beneficial experience for us both. I have photos of some of the pieces I have put together for my class and would be happy to send them to you so you can judge for yourself.

I hope to hear from you.

Jem
