Christchurch Flower school - BR Academy a hands on approach

Where passion and creativity becomes a profession

Ever wanted to try your hand at floristry?

Well as flower fairys ourselves, we believe that working with flowers is more than just a hobby, more than just arranging random stems. It's about telling a story, evoking emotions, and bringing beauty into peoples lives. Sometimes flowers can share more words than words themselves.

At Bourbon Rose we are passionate about sharing our love and skill for floristry with other like minded individuals that either want to dip their toes into the industry or take on learning and perfecting their current floristry skills and knowledge.

Thats why we have launched BR Academy an in person floral training program where you are taught by experienced wedding and event florists.

Danni (owner of Bourbon Rose) and Jorgia (intermediate wedding and event florist) are here to guide you, teach you and show you all the ins and outs of the floristry industry. From retail bouquets and arrangements all the way to large scale wedding and event installations. You can learn it all through BR Academy. You can learn everything from the foundations of floral design and knowledge to technical wedding and event arrangements. BR Academy is a hands on approach, you cant teach a painter how to paint without any paints and brushes.

Together we build a community of like minded creatives who share a passion for nature and the messages flowers can share, the beauty they show and they joy they give to both the client and the creator.

We blend together traditional floristry components with a fresh modern take.

BR academy is not a Credited study, however you will receive a written and visual portfolio using images from the arrangements you created throughout the duration of our academy. A written reference and a certificate of completion from a reputable Christchurch florist.

Heres what our past students are sharing.

"I attended the first BR Flower Academy and would highly recommend it to any flower lovers! The 6 week course was broad, informative and a lot of fun. Both Danni and Jorgia were good teachers and it was evident that they both really care about providing the best for their students" - BR STUDENT OF 2025
