What is a Florist?

As a florist, you will have the creative and technical ability to identify and arrange a variety of flowers for customers. Florists create a variety of floral arrangements including wreaths, bouquets, wedding centrepieces and many more for a range of occasions, helping customers to get the arrangement they really want. With an eye for colour and an in-depth knowledge of plants and flowers, florists design floral arrangements to compliment the customers’ needs, whether it’s a beautiful valentine’s day bouquet, a Mother’s Day floral display or a wedding corsage. Florists also use their floral design skills to create pieces for events, hotels and prestigious flower shows and exhibitions; using flowers from around the world from beautiful English garden flowers luxury red tulips from Japan. Alongside selling floral arrangements, florists sell a variety of other gift accompaniments such as cards and gift boxes.

There are two main routes to choose from to get into the floristry industry; a work-based apprenticeship and a college course. Most apprenticeships or courses have entry requirements such as a minimum of 2-4 GCSE’s, however, this can vary depending on the organisation.
