    Pause November 2021 | Student Bouquets and Wearables

    We LOVE seeing images of what our students have created, but we have to be honest, we love the look on their faces even more! That moment when their “bride” holds their bouquet and they can see it all come together. There is something magical that happens when a flower heart gets a platform to express themselves. Without fear or judgement. That is what we want to give each one of our students. A stage where they can admire their beautiful creations.

    A BIG thank you again to our amazeballs suppliers. You can read more about them here .

    Pause November 2021 | Introducing our Team


    “Remember this. Hold on to this. This is the only perfection there is, the perfection of helping others. This is the only thing we can do that has any lasting meaning. This is why we’re here. To make each other feel safe.” 
    Andre Agassi

    We know it sounds corny, but there really is no I in Team. This curated experience is only possible because we have incredible suppliers and people holding our hands. The following service providers made Pause November 2021 possible, we are beyond grateful to each and every one of you.

    We would also like to do a massive shoutout to the Aleit Academy and the guys from Rimac Events for being the most amazeballs flower fairies one can ever ask for. We appreciate you efforts more than you would ever know!

    We just love our team!

    Kay Lamberts

    Kay Lamberts is any creative’s dream  when shooting an editorial! Her beautifully regal appearance made us hold our breath for what felt like the entire editorial. We were mesmerised by her majesty, pinching ourselves to remind us that she did not JUST fly in from her royal palace to be our bride for a few hours! In front (and off) of the camera she is an absolute professional , needing no guidance at all. We would pick the gorgeous Kay for every editorial for the rest of our lives!

    “Here we go again”

    We are still pinching ourselves thinking that we had a FIFTH Pause Floral Workshop. This time around we found ourselves at the iconic Nooitgedacht Estate with a special group of humans.

    6 Beautiful flower souls from all around the country invested in this journey and trusted us with their creative hearts.

    It is important for us to make our students feel special. Our little labour of love after each day of class is to set the table. We just love to see their faces when they walk in each day and see all of the special details put together just for them.

    Day 1 was all about theory and tablescapes. When learning a new skill (or even just sharping up old ones) it is best to start at the beginning. So we start with the basics and build our students up to a point where they have the skills to do anything they put their mind to. 

    Day 2 was all about learning the relationship between a planner and a florist with Luke Krone, phone photography with Jenni Elizabeth, bouquets, floral accessories and yes, a tad more theory.

    Meet Luke Krone



    We introduced you to another amazing friend of ours, Luke Krone. Luke has been in the events industry for many years and really built himself a reputation as a planner that takes note of every detail. His weddings is always elegant, always executed with immense passion and he always treats both his client and his service providers with a great amount of respect. We just love everything about him and he treated our students to a glimpse inside the inner workings of a planner-florist-relationship.

    Meet Jenni Elizabeth



    We introduced you to another amazing friend of ours, Jenni Elizabeth. Jenni is known for her beautiful and timeless approach to wedding photography, content creation for well known brands and phone photography! Jenni gives our students a crash course in phone photography and we LOVE all the “a-ha” moments our students have during her presentation.

    Day 3 is all about the installations. Starting the day with a tad more theory, covering certain mechanics that you would mostly use when doing large installations. For the practical installation we only focussed on creating an arch using the mechanical opportunities the venue had on offer and finished it off with romantic growing floor posies. During this session, we love to take a step back and observe our students. It is really amazing to see how they’ve grown in only 3 days, hearing them laugh and chatting up a storm with their new-found-flower-friends. Have a look at our Pause November 2021 editorial here.

    We wish we could share ALL of the beautiful photographs but that is just not possible! A big thank you again to all of our students who trusted us with their hearts and their hard earned cabbage. We feel blessed to know you and we look forward to see where your creativity leads you.

    Pause August 2021 | Editorial

    We really love that moment where all of the skills learned during the 3 days of Pause Floral Workshop comes together during set up of the editorial. Our students’ eyes light up when they take a step back and observe what they have accomplished together. Thinking about each flower and creating something with intention Mari, our beautiful model, brought life to the exquisite Alana van Heerden gown. We could not stop staring at her, standing in the middle of this dreamy floral set up.

    For our Pause August 2021 editorial we focussed on the season we fifty shades of beige. We use mostly white and creamy flowers with drops of off-white and white linen falling from the ceiling. We created a section for the arch only and then showed the students how to approached hanging installation when using dried only product and flowers that would need a water source. This dreamy still makes our heart skip a beat! Please see full credits at the bottom of the page.

    “Here we go again”

    We are still pinching ourselves thinking that we had a FOURTH Pause Floral Workshop. This time around we wanted a real intimate group so that we could really invest more time into each attendee.

So we start with the basics and build our students up to a point where they have the skills to do anything they put their mind to. Our students also had a little foraging 101 session with our dear friend, Design by Marcel.

    Meet Design by Marcel



    We introduce to another amazeballs friend of ours, Design by Marcel. Marcel is also from Tulbagh (like Anli) and he is literally the king of foraging. We are so lucky to have him educate our students on responsible foraging and also for sharing some of his favourite (and oh so funny) foraging adventures.
