Fresh flowers? Charlotte Puxley. A name that has become synonymous with flowers in Singapore, there's no arguing that the arrangments and bouquets are quite the most beauftiful you'll see. Her style is based on the English countryside, with a slight adaptation to the tropics so expect wild and wonderful bouquets that come in all shapes, colours and textures. One thing's for sure, each arrangement is unique. Bring home your own arrangements when you sign up to a workshop. From small jar arrangements to big English meadow-inspired bouquets, Charlotte will guide you in making the perfect bunch. 

Inspire serious Instagram envy with the hand-tied bouquets and perfect floral arrangements of head florist Aude Giraud at Ask a French Flowers. Trained in Paris and Singapore, Aude has worked for private clients and corporate ones like Chanel. She also holds regular workshops that teach you how to craft your own beautiful bouquets and festive wreaths. Like pieces of art, her arrangements take inspiration from the beauty of wild nature and classic still life paintings so you can expect effortless but beautiful bouquets that are both rustic and poetic. 

Trading her pen for a pair of gardening scissors, former advertising executive Sarah Lim followed her love for all things beautiful when she founded Poppy Flora Studio in 2000. Lim and her team handcraft every bouquet you see in the store. Don’t expect uniformly rounded globes of roses – each flower is allowed to curve and bend to create an airy, bountiful and vibrant mix that looks as if, as Lim describes, they’re ‘dancing’.  Immerse yourself in the Andante Floral Foundation Course at the serene studio at Park Lane and let your inspiration for floral art bloom. Sarah will usher beginners into the world of floristry by touching on skills needed to create a stunning centrepiece such as texturizing, colour composition, and arrangement layering. The course is made up of four one-hour lessons (USD$600, including a photography session and four masterpieces).
