What is a floral designer?

Indeed, reports that a floral designer, also called a florist, is a professional who creates decorative displays, bouquets, and arrangements using plants, flowers, and other accessories.

A florist typically works with fresh flowers, but they can also use dried or artificial ones and often include other types of greenery. They create floral arrangements for many occasions, such as weddings, banquets, festivals, and other special ceremonies or holidays.

A floral designer's work varies daily as their customers or clients have different needs depending on the size of the arrangement and how much time it will take to complete. They may ask for a bouquet for an individual person, small displays for settings with limited space, or grand arrangements for larger venues.

What is required to complete the floral design course assignments?

In order to complete the course assignments successfully, you will need to put together a Floral Design Toolkit. The toolkit should include Garden Flower Scissors, Floral Tape, Floral Wire, Rose Stripper, and Ribbon. You can easily find these items on Amazon or at local craft stores. Additionally, you will need fresh flowers, which can be sourced from your garden, a local market, or a grocery store. The cost of the flowers will vary depending on the location. The estimated cost of the toolkit is approximately $20, while the cost of the flowers is variable.

As part of the course, you will undertake assignments that include creating the Floral Design Toolkit, experimenting with processed and non-processed materials, building an "Idea" Portfolio, establishing a Reference Binder, crafting a Boutonnière, designing a Hand Tied Bouquet, creating a Long, Low Centerpiece, calculating prices and profit margins for each of the floral features, drafting a proposal for an entire event, and submitting your best floral design for the Final Project.
