WHAT IS COMMERCIAL FLOWER ARRANGING?
This is when students are taught how to cost a floral arrangements, work out how many and what selection of flowers to use, where to buy sundries and fresh flowers wholesale, how to treat flowers, the amount of Oasis needed in each display, what type and quantity of foliage to use and what size their display should be for the quantity of flowers used.
Because Kay's Flower School is an independent business we teach you all the tricks of the trade and our aim is to support and advise students on opening and managing a floristry business, however many of our past students are working from home as freelance florist.
Students learn where to insert the main points into the display, the wholesale and selling price of each arrangement and what size arrangement would be suitable for a particular area or in an unusual container. All the geometric shapes are covered and then we advance onto continental / funky displays.
