Flower Confidence Kit

$29 USD

$14.50

Embrace the natural rhythm of flowers and discover new favorites for each time of year!

This resource includes a detailed PDF guide and companion video where I share my years of testing and expertise in creating stunning pieces that perform beautifully out of water. Get tips and insights, along with a list of flowers that are well-suited for wearables, cake flowers, wired bouquets, and more -- well-suited for any composition that will be displayed out of water -- organized by month. 

📃 Seasonal Bloom Guide: Pro Companion (downloadable PDF)

📺 Flower Confidence Blueprint (video walk-through with instruction and tips)

This guide emerged from years of testing flowers in hydration chambers, perfecting wire-frame techniques, and learning which combinations create the most durable, beautiful results for brides, grooms, and special events.

I believe this kit will transform how you approach out-of-water work – just like discovering the right wire techniques revolutionized how we create wearables.

Whether you're planning spring weddings, summer garden parties, or fall celebrations, you'll know exactly which flowers to reach for.

Because your artful, innovative work deserves flowers that can keep up with your creativity.

The expanded Seasonal Bloom Guide breaks it down month by month: 

✨ Year-round reliable choices
⭐ Top 10 go-to performers
🔥 Reliables in hot weather

 The Flower Confidence Blueprint complements the Guide:

  • Proven "reliables" system - four key flower categories (waxy, leathery, papery/velvety, and fleshy) that I've tested extensively for durability and longevity.
  • Hydration chamber technique to learn when to use anti-transpirant sealing for maximum performance.
  • Walk-through of the guide
  • Additional instruction and tips
  • Pre-recorded video to watch whenever you'd like, as often as you'd like.
  • Closed captions, searchable for keywords.

No more guessing which flowers will make it through the ceremony – just confident selections that support your artful work.

Hi. I'm Sue.

I believe that floristry is an art form, and we are artists! I aim to offer immediately useful and relevant educational information that equips and empowers florists- allowing them to express their creativity and make what they crave to see. When we harness our creativity, we create more interesting, artful work that fills us and elevates our profession. I want to help students make incredible work that draws the public in, making them more curious about what florists are capable of.

My passion for the profession led me to pivot from work as an event florist to teaching floristry. With over 20 years in floral design, a published author and speaker, I can say with confidence, no matter where you are in your business, I’ve been there too! Having taught over 20,000 students, I am passionate about helping florists build their confidence and find their creative voice.

You've got nothing to lose...

Rest assured, when you buy this, you've got 30 days to try it out and ask for your money back - with no weird questions or push from me or my team.

The challenge of a florist is to create perfectly-timed art out of natural, fleeting elements. 

- Susan McLeary

Here's what my students are saying:

Anila A.

"I tried these corsages last May for our son's wedding, for the bridesmaids - Amazing! I followed your easy to do instructions from the workshop, had so much fun with it! The creations were not just so beautiful but also held up well during the whole event. Thank you for sharing your talent!"

Allison T.

"I have considered Sue my virtual mentor since I first saw her teach & became enamored of her techniques. I LOVE wearables & have learned so much by combining the incredible techniques Sue teaches with my ephemeral land art."

Cheryl A.

"I'm truly taken by your imagination and how it leads you to so many forms of creativity!"

Louise K.

"For the first time in my life found someone with the same passion than me!! I was like a kid with a new ball when I saw your work!!! AMAZING!!! Wow Wow Wow!! I made these [corsages] for a matric farewell."
