Welcome To Our

Online Flower School

Hello and welcome to The Happy Blossoms Online Flower School.

We created this space to share everything we’ve learned from building The Happy Blossoms over the past 8 years — bringing together our experience, creativity and love of flowers into one place.

Starting with the very basics, you’ll be guided by Creative Director Lauren Hooper through a thoughtfully curated collection of step-by-step video lessons, supported by beautifully written notes, covering all areas of floristry.

Lauren is the Co-Founder and Creative Director of The Happy Blossoms, a colourful dried and fresh flower brand founded in 2018. Best known for its signature dried flower collection, Baked Blossoms, the Dorset-based business delivers joyful floral design across the UK and has been featured in Vogue, YOU Magazine, The Independent, and on Channel 4 and ITV.

With a background in Environmental Sciences, Lauren retrained in floristry to turn her passion for nature into a career. Having experienced the calming, confidence-building benefits of working with flowers firsthand, she believes floristry should feel accessible, creative and never intimidating.

The Flower School is an ever-growing library of floral lessons, seasonal projects and creative resources — designed for anyone who loves flowers and wants to bring more floristry into their everyday life. Whether you’re exploring a new hobby or building your skills further, this is your space to learn, create and truly blossom.
