florist - who is florist

Everyone can become florist should they are interested at flower arrangements. You are not required to have a specific education to be a florist, but you need experience in flower arrangement.

A Florist creates flower arrangements for customers who want to give to someone special, a special memory by sending fresh flowers, and has just the right bouquet to fit every occasion and budget. Florist helps you create smiles with the unique designs of birthday, weddings, anniversaries, new baby born, graduate’s day, mother’s day. Say “I love you” with a stunning arrangement of Valentine’s Day roses, add joy to the holidays with a seasonal centrepiece, or cheer up a friend with a fun get well flower gift basket. Florist also helps you surprise someone with the best flowers. When you need to send your condolence florist can help with a thoughtful funeral flower arrangement.

Every day, florists have to watering and feeding plants, unpacking and caring for flowers and stems, pricing products, arranging floral displays in the shop, taking flower and plant orders, arranging floral bouquets and arrangements for customers.

As a florist, you will be required to have good interpersonal skills and a bright, bubbly personality always helps. You need to know how to respond to different situations such as being empathetic to people ordering flowers for funerals, or casual to a young man buying flowers for his girlfriend for the first time. You will be helping people choose a particular flower arrangement so will need excellent people skills, and will need to know how to discover what people like and what occasion they are buying flowers for.

  1. Yeah I agree with you that flower arrangement experience is a must to become a florist. However, I feel knowledge of flowers is equally important if you want to start your own flower shop. I have worked with a San Francisco Florist and gained little knowledge.
