Mini-Escapes
A moment to breathe. To slow down. To reconnect with yourself, with friends, and with nature — right in the heart of the city.
A step away from the rapid
movement of life
Life moves fast. Our Mini-Escapes are a deliberate pause — an intimate, bespoke floral experience held in our Brixton studio, designed entirely around you. Whether you come alone, with friends, as a couple, or as a small group, each session is crafted to your needs, your taste, and your budget.
No experience needed. No judgement. Just flowers, presence, and the quiet pleasure of making something beautiful with your hands.
Bespoke to you,
rooted in slowness
Mini-Escapes bring the Living Lirio ethos into the city. Every session is designed with the same care and intention as our farm workshops — guided by the seasons, led by curiosity, and shaped entirely around what feels right for you.
Using seasonal and thoughtfully sourced blooms, Maya will guide you gently through your chosen experience — whether that's an hour of quiet bouquet-making or a full evening of tablescaping followed by a meal at the table you've created.
All budgets are welcome and warmly accommodated. Get in touch and we'll find the version of this that's right for you.
What would you like to create?
Each experience can be shaped and combined — speak to Maya to design the session that's right for you.
Bouquet Making
Learn the art of building a seasonal hand-tied bouquet from scratch. Choose your blooms, learn how to layer, balance and bind — and take your creation home wrapped and ready.
- ✦ Suitable for complete beginners
- ✦ Solo, pairs or small groups
- ✦ Take your bouquet home
Vase Arrangements
A slower, more meditative session focused on the art of arranging flowers in a vase. Learn how to create depth, movement and a sense of wildness in your design — a skill you'll return to again and again.
- ✦ Seasonal blooms provided
- ✦ Guidance on shape & composition
- ✦ Arrangement yours to take home

- ✦ Collaborative, guided design process
- ✦ Full styling with candles & linens
- ✦ Ideal for groups & celebrations
The Full Evening
Design your tablescape together, then sit down and dine at the table you've created. A fully bespoke evening combining flowers, creativity and a catered meal — utterly unique and deeply memorable. Perfect for birthdays, celebrations or simply gathering people you love.
- ✦ Tablescape design session with Maya
