HOW TO BECOME A FLORIST: 10 Tips You Must Know!

Let me know what questions you have about being a florist!

Hi Chelsea, thank you for your informative video! I have only recently struck and interest in doing flower arranging as a career. I am doing a 1 week Flower Arranging Course at the Judith blacklock flower school in February to get in depth knowledge and hands on experience.

After I have done the course I will stil be forever learning. Is it a good idea to build a portfolio of my work and set up a media page and over time go from there in making it into a business?

Hello! Love your video! I have a question. Aside from changing the water, cutting the stems and cleaning out the dead leaves, what more could I do to make my flowers last longer once they are in a vase?

Hi Chelsea, I'm interested in working at Flea Market, Outdoor Market and street vending. My friend blows glass and etches the vases. How do I get a license for this? My town is small?

This advice was great! Thank you 🌸🌺

Started sweeping the floors at Sango Village Florist on December 13th, today I got to do my first Arrangement.❤️

What book or where can I learn about the names of flowers & types of leafes

What suggestions do you have for sourcing flowers? I do not live in a metro area. The largest cities that are close to me would be Nashville and Atlanta, but they are both about two hours away. This could be a weekly trip; however, if the flowers need to be picked out daily, this would be unfeasible. Do many florists order and have flowers shipped? This would increase the price, so do have any alternate suggestions? Thank you for your time. This was an extremely helpful video! 😊

Hi! I am 15 and interested in beginning a career in floral design. I was just wondering for my future references, if you had any recommendations for college classes that would be helpful in this career. I know most can begin with just a high school diploma, but I really want to enhance my education and experience in the flower world. I love your videos btw, they are so informative and helpful 💜

Hi! I have a question that I’ve been looking for an answer for like ever and I would really be grateful if you can help me. So I’ve been learning arranging and I’m doing pretty good. But I still don’t understand how to arrange the back of the arrangement. After finishing the front, how can I arrange the back of it? I tried to do it the same as the front but it turned out a little messy and buffy
