The Late Summer Showstoppers
There are flowers that quietly play their part…
…and then there are dahlias.
Confident, sculptural and unapologetically beautiful, they are the undisputed stars of the late summer garden. With extraordinary colours, intricate petal formations and endless variety, dahlias bring drama, movement and joyful abundance to every arrangement.
They're also one of our favourite flowers of the year.
If you're looking for a luxury floristry workshop in Surrey or a memorable way to spend a summer Sunday morning, we'd love you to join us.
Hosted in our beautiful Banstead studio, this relaxed, hands-on flower arranging workshop celebrates British dahlias at the very peak of their season. Whether you're completely new to floristry or looking to build on existing skills, you'll enjoy two inspiring hours immersed in flowers, creativity and expert tuition.
What You'll Learn
Working with an abundant selection of premium British dahlias and carefully chosen seasonal foliage, you'll create a generous hand-tied bouquet bursting with late summer colour.
During the workshop you'll discover:
• How to condition and care for dahlias so they last beautifully
• How to combine colour, texture and form to create natural, garden-inspired arrangements
• The professional spiral technique that forms the foundation of every beautifully balanced hand-tied bouquet
• Luxury gift wrapping and finishing techniques, the Mad Lilies way
Throughout the morning we'll share plenty of professional tips, helping you understand not just how to arrange flowers, but why certain combinations create such beautiful, natural designs.
This isn't about perfection.
It's about slowing down, enjoying the process, learning something new and leaving with the confidence to create beautiful bouquets long after the workshop has finished.
What's Included
Everything you need is provided, including:
• A generous selection of premium British dahlias and complementary seasonal flowers
• All floristry tools and materials
• Use of a Mad Lilies apron throughout the workshop
• Expert guidance from our experienced florists
You'll leave with your own spectacular hand-tied bouquet to enjoy at home.
