Answer 1

Things You’ll Need:

    * Interest in flowers

    * Creativity

    * Good color coordination

    * Customer service skills

Step1

Research the top floral schools in the country or local area. Compare the floral school option with other training options such as online, book and video courses. Compare the options to become a florist with what best fits your learning style, budget and time availability. Most schools or courses certify students as a florist.

Step2

Talk to local florists to learn about the pros and cons of being an independent florist or franchisee. The business owner can explain different business situations that are common in the floral industry and how to address them. This expertise may not be conferred in the course work.

Step3

Enroll in floral school or order courses to study independently to become a florist. Practice techniques and donate arrangements to low-income families' weddings, funerals or proms. You can also practice by donating to non-profit organizations such as churches.

Step4

Work with an experienced florist to learn tips and tricks for floral design before becoming a florist. Also learn specifics on how to run a floral business by working with a current business owner.

Step5

Take continuing education courses at the local community college or floral school to keep up with new methods. Example courses are European floral design and Sympathy arrangements.

Answer 2

On a personal level, floristry is the best job you'll ever do, plus it can lead to self business opportunities down the track.

It doesn't pay very high in my country, but its love of it that counts (yes, it will pay for your essentials, rent, gas, bills, groceries etc)
