FAQs
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I received my Professional Floral Design Certification from The FlowerSchool New York. I take at least one class per quarter to keep my skills fresh.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I have always loved flowers and decorating with flowers. Several years ago, I was having Thanksgiving at my home. I saw a cornucopia basket for $1 in a thrift shop and decided to make a silk flower arrangement for my Thanksgiving table. I enjoyed it so much that I made all of my own Christmas decor that year. Then I started giving arrangements to friends and family. Within a few months, I started my own silk floral design company. Once I added fresh floral designs, I started Duchess Florals.
- What types of customers have you worked with?
We usually provide centerpieces and other event décor as well as bridal party flowers, and ceremony décor. We are extremely creative in our approach and love to think "outside the box" when working within a tight budget.
