About This Course
Great floral design blends artistic skill with technical precision and business know-how. This Floristry Skills Training course takes learners from foundational floristry knowledge through to professional design work and running a floristry business. Learners begin with industry essentials, tools, botanical identification, and flower care and then build core design principles — color theory, form, balance, and texture. The course moves into hands-on floral techniques, including structural mechanics, wiring and taping, foam-free design, and hand-tied bouquets, before applying those skills to professional designs like vase arrangements, centerpieces, and sympathy work. A dedicated module covers wedding and event floristry, from bridal bouquets to floral installations, and the course closes with the business side of floristry — pricing, sourcing, client proposals, and marketing. By the end of this floristry skills training, learners are equipped to design with confidence and build a viable floristry career or business.
