Flower Designer

A flower designer or a floral designer, also knowned as a florist, is an ace on the art of floral design. With each floral arrangement they make, they have the customer's choices in mind. Flowers try to illustrate the emotions that people want to reveal. Helping communicate those emotions is a huge portion of a flower designer's job. They have to ensure that people use the correct kinds of flowers during an emotional time of their lives. Flowers flourish in varying weather and seasons. Floral designers need to be familiar with which kinds are in bloom at a distinct time. They accentuate special flowers for each season and explain the interpretation of each kind. Flower preservation is another ability that a flower designer should understand. Once cut from its roots, florists need to work on every step it takes to make sure the flowers remain lifelike. This capability, along with how elegantly they arrange floral designs, marks the true quality of a flower designer.


How to be a Flower Designer

There is a principle to any type of craft, and floristry is no exception. Florists do not require a degree course. But, it is not only about being creative either. A flower designer must still make an effort to register in floristry programs. There are a lot of academies and vocational courses that offer floristry coaching. These programs will help train a florist and qualify them as a competent flower designer. It is important to take these courses as it teaches basic information about the floral industry. It gives them an edge against their competitors. Expert flower designers recognize when best to give pink lilies or how to wow a person over red roses, and why peach peonies can be more special over hydrangeas. Another way to do well at becoming a flower designer is to apply at flower shops. Here, they train as an apprentice under more seasoned florists. This gives them experience in refining their floral design skill-sets. At the same time, they learn how to run and manage a flower shop business. It takes years to practice and perfect this profession. No matter how a flower designer sets out, what matters is how far they have honed their talents. Needless to say, those driven with a passion for their craft have more progress in this field.
