WHAT IS COMMERCIAL SYMPATHY FLORISTRY?

When customers think of wreaths a “round floral” is the one that normally comes to their mind. In a Florist Shop must be able to give the customer the option of a choice of shapes and designs like Hearts, Crosses, Cushion, Pillows, Gates of Heaven, Vacant Chairs, Mam, Dad, pint of Guinness, Cars, Bikes, Trains, Teddies, Chaplets etc.

Each design needs a specific base, which a commercial florist will be able to purchase wholesale or create and they will need to know the wholesale cost of each base.

At Kay’s students are taught how to edge the base with  pleated ribbon or foliage, they learn how position a spray onto their design and how many flowers they will need to buy in the wholesale and how much should they charge their customers for each design
