Floristry involves the design and assembly of floral displays for distribution and sale to members of the public or corporate customers.
As a florist you would need to be good at arranging and displaying flowers, and also at selling and dealing with the public.
You would make, wrap and decorate displays, such as wedding bouquets, buttonholes, floral tributes and wreaths. You could be producing items for events such as christenings, birthdays, weddings and funerals, so it is important that you deal with customers tactfully.
If you want to be a florist you should be creative and practical, have a good sense of colour, shape and design, and be willing to learn about plant care and storage.
