FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Each client is different and wants different styles. So that means that the florals will be different pricing. All flowers cost a different price, and can vary due to seasons. So if a certain flower isn't in season it would cost more to have it shipped in from out of the country or not be available at all. I can't say that a certain bouquet or arrangement starts at a certain price since it all depends on what flowers go into it. For example, there are a wide variety of roses, some can cost as low as $2 a stem and range up to $20, so it all depends on what the client wants as far as the floral type, quantity and quality.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Yes, I am constantly researching floral classes, workshops and seminars to participate in. You will always learn something new from each one and in this line of work, its always a good thing to learn other styles and techniques.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I tried to have a desk job and it just wasn't for me. I'm the type of person that has to play tennis in order to exercise; I would have to have the mind set that I'm playing a game not exercising. I like options and always doing something different and constantly asking "What if I tried this.." or " I wonder if this would be a good idea.." and testing it out with flowers. I've always had a creative side, but I never really focused on one type of creativity, and with floral/event design, I don't have to. Since every event and every arrangement is different, I have endless options to coming up with new designs which excites me and enjoy this line of work.
