Anne's Flower School
What if you could design with confidence without making all the beginner mistakes? This is an online school for florists & flower farmers ready to embrace their own style, learn solid techniques and silence their inner critic.
But where do you start?
Deep down, you know you've got the talent, the passion and the determination to be a florist. But right now, the path there feels absolutely daunting. Haunted house level daunting.
You want to make beautiful bouquets with (your home grown) seasonal flowers without crying at 2am. You want to create for actual -paying- clients and run a floral business that fits YOU and YOUR LIFE. You want to silence your inner critic that keeps saying 'you're not good enough'.
You want to design with confidence and start your career with flowers.
You're in the right place.
I will teach you sustainable techniques, how to make designs inspired by nature and mentor you through creative (business) life. All while holding plenty of space for you, your style and your journey!

Read MoreI started my membership with this class! Can't wait to try the mechanics I didn't know. This is not "just" a presentation of foam free mechanics but a whole class with the arrangements that goes with each of them. It helps to understand at another level how the choice of the mechanics influence the creation and how it is serving artistic goals "in fine". Super useful!

Read MoreThis was a joy to watch. I have previously watched videos on how to make a cascade bouquet and I cringed the whole time as material was literally shoved at all sorts of angles through some chicken wire. But you make it looks so natural and beautiful- working with each flower and stem to make it truly shine. Your ingredient list with its alternatives have helped me to start to plan my first try of a cascade without rushing into it. I can’t wait to re watch this as I try my own!

Read MoreA ground-breaking class. I loved it. This tablescape is natural, fresh and very exciting. It feels new, and modern and I think it’s bloody brilliant. There’s such a clever use of materials and plants and Anne works her magic in creating a very natural botanical scene. I particularly love the tablescape when it’s all finished on a tablecloth with plates, cutlery, napkins, and attention to detail. I would love to sit at this table, and the best thing is that after doing this class I can now practice creating my own tablescape and there are lots of design tips in the design guide together with design ideas for different themes as well. Thank you Anne x

Read MoreSuch a helpful course! Even after a few years designing flowers, I learned about so many useful tools and techniques that I can't wait to use.

Read MoreAn inspiring and very helpful tutorial on the scary subject of large flower bouquets. Full of helpful and light bulb moments tips and tricks that make the whole thing seem far less daunting.

Read MoreThis is again a class that makes you love flowers even more. I think that is what I like most about Anne's classes. They make you look a different way at flowers and arrangements. Anne is so passioned about every flower, it's shape and it's colors. Since I started my membership I appreciate my garden so much more. Everyday I walk through my garden and see all these different flowers, trees and grasses and I see all these opportunities to use them in the most creative way. This Foam Free Fairy Garden class is again something so creative and natural at the same time, I love it!

Read MoreThe course is full of useful information. Anne is very generous with her knowledge and shares it freely. You can see the course has been created with love. Excellent guide of good-to-dry flowers and foliage.

Read MoreAnne, this tablescape is full of joy and happiness. I appreciated the tips on negative space, intuition and the use of floral frogs. I can't wait for things to bloom here in Minnesota. I'll be sure to try this out. People out there-if you haven't taken a class like this, you should! It is a day brightener!

In this class won't just see how I created this magical dried floral installation, you will learn about my creative process while making designs like this. I will take with me while I go through all the stages, the good, the bad, the boring.
Learn how to capture the beauty of the season in this class and remember - no matter what the title says - you can use any large vase for this! :)
Celebrate the season with a small garden on your table! Use whatever is flowering for you now to create a piece that looks like it’s growing out of your tabletop. Magically obviously! ;)
Create a statement bouquet for your next photoshoot, portfolio update or bold client! Find out how I used a chicken wire egg for this single variety magnolia bouquet in this class. Heavy flowers might be tricky, but not impossible to work with!
The short version: based in the Netherlands, teaching globally, +12 years of business experience, specialised in foam free & artful installations.
The longer version: I believe every creative deserves to embrace their unique style. So if the thought of clients that ask you to create things you actually love makes you all happy-teary-eyed (like you just saw a kitten), you’re at the right place!
Because I’m not here to teach you an one size fits all trick. I’m here to teach you solid - foam free - techniques so you can run wild with them. With new skills in place, the only limit is your imagination! (okay and maybe the budget, but ssst)
What you see is what you get here. That means you will find a passionate educator, an honest mentor and a devoted cheerleader in me. Creativity, inspiration and personality are the foundation of this entire school (and the rest of my business) and for me, those will always weigh more than keeping things ‘professional’.
I'd rather be real with you!

Everything about natural floral design, the creative side of running a business and practical tips.

I will teach you how to create these pieces and add your own signature to them. The live classes vary between makealongs and inspiring talks/mentor sessions. So in short, everything you need to help your floral business thrive!
Some basic knowledge about flowers can be useful, but my classes are definitely suitable for beginners. There will be more advanced classes and easier classes to keep things interesting. But I will talk you through them on an easy to follow pace. And you can re-visit the videos any time you want!

Some of the topics we've talked about so far: How to deal with the imposter syndrome, photographing your own work, how to discover your style/voice, building a portfolio, pricing&ordering, etc. So much valuable info! Find them all in the 'live recordings' course.
Everything! All past classes are there for you, including the design guides, all live session recordings and there's a community waiting for you to introduce yourself. Start learning and find flower friends to dream with!

All design videos from 2024 onward have closed captions in English. Sadly, I can't add captions to the live recordings. I hope to add captions to my older videos one day, to make my school more inclusive & accessible, but for now I'm focussing on new videos!
