To be the BEST designer is to know your game.

Know the flowers that you are using make sure they are very fresh. KNOW what the customer wants and do the look they are seeking (with your own flair)

Choose the best flower shops to work for dont settle or Be come the best flower shop.

Make sure your machanics are well and sturdy, do not let it leave the design room with out the foam being glued or taped and the foam always needs to be coverd.

If you ever get a complain never never never argue, fix the problem with a smile and generousity(little extra)

And always use your imaginnation to the fullest capsity

Design speed is heavily emphasized in all shops -- "pump it out." It's hard developing speed as a beginner.

I believe customers can tell when flowers used are old, but there seem to be a lot of owners/managers who try to sneak in old flowers to save money. Customers usually notice!

To be the best in floral designer ,u should be talented and creative and this is not a game u should know a lot of technics to show to the people that u are the best one .Main thing is they will pay you becoz ur design is unique and you have one of a kind.speed is not necessary as long a your design is perfectly done and elegant.

I would welcome suggestions on how to even break into the industry after completing my advanced certification. It seems that every job posting I read asks for at least two years in shop experience. I have even offered on job postings to work as an intern with no pay to get started but I have received no response. I may have to go back to accounting if something doesn't happen soon.

I started in high school as an assistant, I didn't design at first, I just helped with general office things and sanitized the buckets. Eventually I started doing light design work and now I'm trying to be trained as a full designer.
