When I began my journey in faux florals. I researched many educational courses and could only find online options. I could not see myself spending thousands of dollars on a class without ever touching a flower. I am a hands on see, touch, do type of person and forced myself to learn through trial and error. Despite the challenges and inevitable mistakes, I gained valuable experience and expertise in the field. Recognizing the growing interest from others in the industry, I realized there was a clear demand for practical, hands-on faux floral training.
I taught myself faux floral design and initially hesitated to call myself a "florist" out of embarrassment, feeling I wasn't quite at a real florist’s level. Over time, I've come to recognize that I provide the same service, creating beauty and realizing clients' visions just like traditional florists. I no longer minimize the hard work and creativity I've dedicated to building my business.
This course offers hands-on, practical guidance in working with faux florals. You'll receive step-by-step instructions that not only educate you on silk flowers comprehensively but also guide you in building a sturdy infrastructure to create stunning pieces that enhance any event, whether large or small. It's designed for small businesses aiming to expand and differentiate themselves in the event decor industry. My floral designs are crafted to withstand transportation, packing, bumps, and drops, yet they're easily adaptable for quick color changes without requiring disassembly and reconstruction each time. This saves time and energy during setup.
I aim to foster interactive discussions in the class, ensuring equal focus on practical applications and technique training. This approach allows you to ask questions in real time as you begin your projects, facilitating rapid learning and boosting your confidence. The class will include a comprehensive outline detailing all covered topics, providing ample space for notes and links to purchase necessary products.
