Past Events & Testimonials
A look back at the workshops, bouquets and tablescapes we've created together — and a few kind words from those who joined.
Where we've slowed down together
Each Living Lirio workshop is a small celebration of British-grown flowers, slowness and good company. Here are some of the gatherings that have already bloomed.
Early Summer Bouquet Making
A morning of gathering peonies, daisies and an abundance of seasonal British blooms into hand-tied bouquets — learning to keep a bouquet in shape, coax reluctant peonies open, and arrange with confidence.
Guests left with the most beautiful bouquets and smiles on their faces.
Summer Solstice Bouquet Making
To mark the longest day, we gathered the very best of high-summer flowers — all British grown, free from pesticides and full of scent — and learned the gentle art of building a loose, garden-style bouquet.
A grounding, restorative morning, with thoughtful conversation about how flowers are produced and why buying local matters.
Tablescaping & Table Arrangements
An afternoon designing low table arrangements and styling a full tablescape — playing with vessels, candles, cheesecloth runners and the rhythm of flowers along a table.
A favourite for those wanting to bring a little seasonal magic to gatherings and celebrations at home.
What guests have said
"A wonderful morning with Maya learning how to create a bouquet using all English grown flowers. Maya had some great tips for keeping a bouquet in shape (I definitely need more practice!) and how to deal with peonies which don't want to open. A lovely time. Thoroughly recommend her classes."
"This was a special thank you to my sister in law, who does so much for everyone. I couldn't have been happier with our morning. Maya is delightful, an excellent and easy teacher, and gently shares important knowledge of how flowers are produced. We both were quite proud of our bouquets — never suspected we could be so artistic 😍."
"I attended a Living Lirio workshop in London and had a wonderful time. Maya is a lovely and gracious host. She provided an abundance of gorgeous British flowers and it was such a pleasure to learn from her. Everyone came away with the most beautiful bouquets and smiles on their faces! I can highly recommend Living Lirio for any gathering."
