WELCOME TO

THE BLOOM SCHOOL

The Bloom School is a hub of modern mentorship and floral design on the Gold Coast. Founded by Elyssium Blooms, a respected florist with over two decades experience in the industry, we offer dynamic courses, workshops, and classes tailored to today’s trends and industry demands.

Our commitment to excellence and authenticity ensures hands-on learning experiences that genuinely empower aspiring florists and seasoned professionals alike, fostering confidence and community.

Our vision is to redefine the landscape of floristry education in Queensland, becoming the destination for aspiring floral designers seeking modern mentorship and authentic expertise. We envision a vibrant community where creativity flourishes, confidence grows, and passion for the art of floristry pushes the boundaries.

Elise Ross is the creative powerhouse and owner behind Elyssium Blooms. With 21 years experience working with flowers, she holds a wealth of knowledge and artistic skill. Starting her career as a Trainee florist, she studied Floristry at TAFE NSW, working closely with some of the best in the biz, winning awards and competitions throughout the field.

She puts her heart and soul into executing every floral brief and making dreams come true for her clients.

When she is not working with flowers in the studio she is in her own garden growing and tending to them.

Her love for flowers started very young, growing up on a farm in country NSW, she spent much of her time out in the garden with her family, in particular her Granddad. “He would sit me in his wheelbarrow and off we’d go, showing me his fuscias, freesias and abundance of garden roses. He gifted me a rose for my birthday once, a Gina Lollabrigida, the most beautiful scent filled lemon rose I’d ever seen.”

“Living on a farm spending school holidays in the Header harvesting with my dad and picking poppies with my mum, really paved the way for me to land this gig and pursue my creativity with flowers.”

Launching The Bloom School in April 2024 has been a dream for many years, and Elise is excited to share her knowledge and experience in the industry through authentic workshops and classes. The Bloom School ‘blossomed’ from a yearning to offer a refreshing approach to floral education - balancing timeless techniques with modern innovation, ensuring students receive practical training, and a genuinely supportive community that has their best interests at heart.
