Why is this skill important?
A successful florist understands the principles of design, aesthetics, composition and colour to capture the mood of the customer.
You must also be able to source, purchase and store floral materials, which by their nature are fragile and short-lived.
Florists are often self-employed or working on commissioned projects, from hotel and retail displays to weddings, offering advice and translating the client’s vision into reality.
