There, I started from the ground and worked my way up. Initially, I was scrubbing buckets, sweeping floors, and building my customer service experience. As I grew and gained more experience, however, I began to learn how to design everyday bouquets, boutonnieres, and corsages. It was there that my passion for floral design began.<\/p>\n<p>I continued to work in boutique shops throughout university and into my mid-twenties; always finding myself surrounded by flowers whenever possible. It was only after obtaining my <em>International Event and Wedding Planning Professional&#x2122;<\/em> certification through <a href=\"\/about-qc\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">QC Event School<\/a> that I realized event and wedding planning goes hand-in-hand with floristry!

From color theory to design principles &#8211; learning a little can take you a long way. If a bouquet ribbon unravels, the arbor spray is off-balance, or the centerpieces need to be set up, you\u2019ll be the one equipped with the necessary skills to fix the situation.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, by adding a certification in floral design to your resume, you&#8217;ll attract and appeal to a wider range of clients. Many newly engaged couples love the idea of a \u201cone-stop-shop\u201d when it comes to coordinating and designing a wedding. After all, why seek out, deal with, and pay multiple vendors when you can get everything you want from\u00a0<em>one\u00a0<\/em>source?<\/p>\n<p>Another reason why professional training is incredibly helpful is because artistic ability and creativity are often not enough. Luckily, QC Event School\u2019s new <a href=\"\/online-event-courses\/floral-design\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Floral Design Course<\/a> offers EVERYTHING you need to know about this unique area of the industry. From basic skills &#8211; such as wiring and taping &#8211; to planning and designing a wedding, this course touches on it all!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_Look_Into_the_Course\"><\/span>A Look Into the Course<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>QC&#8217;s Floral Design Course is taught by <a href=\"\/tutors\/renee-tucci\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Renee Tucci<\/a>, who has over 21 years of experience in floristry. She belongs to the American Institute of Floral Designers and is a member of the Professional Communicators International. It is through this course that she shares her passions and inspirations with her students; giving them the push they need to venture out into the world of floral design.<\/p>\n<p>There are 7 units in this program. Once the course is completed (with a passing grade, of course), you receive your certification and officially become an <i>International Floral Design Professional (IFDP)<\/i>! While working through your course, you&#8217;ll also be able to find helpful information and tools to help you start your very own floral business. Such resources include a materials checklist, marketing tricks, and tips for working with clients and finding wholesalers.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s also a full unit devoted to business training! While this unit\u00a0<em>is\u00a0<\/em>optional, it&#8217;s highly recommended that you take it.

My goal is to refresh my skill-set, build on the knowledge I already have, and ultimately <a href=\"\/blog\/2020\/11\/enhance-your-event-decor-skills-with-floral-design-training\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">expand my subject-matter expertise<\/a> in the floral industry. I am delighted to share some of my thoughts and observations regarding this Unit, as well as the course as a whole.<\/p>\n<p>Unit A not only introduces you to the world of floral design; it also educates you on common arrangements and the most popular flowers you\u2019ll come across on a day-to-day basis. This first Unit focuses on 3 main topics:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Introducing floral design and the foundations behind it;<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Common arrangements;<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>And popular flowers and foliage. <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Students are provided with course materials, such as digital <em>and<\/em> paperback textbooks, assignment templates, and informative videos (led by Renee Tucci). I always make it a habit to keep my textbooks after completing a course,\u00a0 since I tend to find myself looking back at them year after year.<\/p>\n<h3>My Thoughts on Unit A&#8217;s Assignments<\/h3>\n<p>There are 5 assignments in Unit A, as well as several multiple-choice quizzes to complete. The assignments are easy to follow, informative, and even-hands on! I was overjoyed to see practical, real-world assignments so soon in the program! For example, the final assignment in this Unit gets the students to design an actual vase arrangement.<\/p>\n<p>One assignment I found particularly important for aspiring florists was <em>Assignment 2: Identifying Resources<\/em>. In this assignment, students are asked to research and compare local businesses from which to purchase cut flowers and foliage. Students are encouraged to consider price point, quality, and variety of flowers when doing their research. This assignment is wildly helpful for anyone hoping to <a href=\"\/blog\/2020\/11\/start-your-career-in-floral-design\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">open their own business<\/a>, as the information will already be available to them when business planning!<\/p>\n<p>Although most of the information taught in Unit A was more of a refresher for me, I still learned brand-new things that I <em>hadn&#8217;t <\/em>already known. For example, I learned all sorts of things about the history of floral design and where it originated. I had no idea that floristry goes as far back as Ancient Egypt, Ancient Greece, and the Middle Ages! Admittedly, I was never a history-lover in school. However, I found myself reading about the Ancient Egyptians honoring their dead with flowers more than once.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Copy-of-Event-In-Post-Event-Logo-Overlay-135x135-2021-01-05T163631.726.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"448\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-19243\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Copy-of-Event-In-Post-Event-Logo-Overlay-135x135-2021-01-05T163631.726.png\" alt=\"beautiful floral arrangement\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Copy-of-Event-In-Post-Event-Logo-Overlay-135x135-2021-01-05T163631.726.png 672w, https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Copy-of-Event-In-Post-Event-Logo-Overlay-135x135-2021-01-05T163631.726-300x200.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Final_Thoughts\"><\/span>Final Thoughts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>I can honestly say that I enjoyed Unit A!
