FAQs
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
To either meet with them in person or speak with them on the phone, so that I can get a more clear sense of their needs. I do a complete consult and lay out the details with them. It is difficult to get inflection and tone from text.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I always check up on trends and techniques via several chat rooms, news groups, etc. I attend training courses, certification classes, bridal shows, public gardens, etc. I am always continuing my education by doing research and keeping in contact with other planners and florists.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I have always loved flowers and crafting. I came across an ad that was in the paper for a local company that was seeking to hire a florist. I applied because I thought it would allow me to express my creative talents, and be relaxing and fun. I love my job!
