A few months ago I was without a job and saw on Facebook a local florist was hiring designers and was willing to train people with no experience. I applied and was offered an interview where at the end they wanted me to create an arrangement. At that moment I realized… I had no idea how to actually arrange flowers. So I searched RU-vid for tutorials and found your videos! I watched them and practiced a few arrangements at home with clearance grocery store flowers and it gave me so much more confidence in the interview. I ended up getting the job, and our owner jokes that I’ve been designing for 60 years! Thank you so much for posting these videos!

Congratulations Isabelle! Great story

How's it going? Still working there?

@marthadiaz9725 Год назад

Hello Isabelle, how is your experience if you still working there, its hard? In which state are you working for? How is the winter affecting your job because the cold weather? are you working in a business or in a warehouse? I want to apply for a job but I'm not sure, I love flowers but I'm not a designer...

Seriously good stuff: Flowers are all about water & hydration! 1. Submerge whole flowers for full hydration 2. Spray Crowning Glory (wax prevents floral dehydration) 3. Bleach drops (2-3) in vase kill the bacteria 4. cut an inch off stems every 3 days 5. Don't remove rose thorns!!! 6. Protect the bark & remove the leaves, which cause the bacteria in water. 7. Cross to the left, Turn to the right x REPEAT

A year ago, I was given the opportunity to work at a flower shop. It’s easily the best job of my life. I am now the main bouquet maker, and I make the particularly larger bouquets.

@TA-lt1ph 4 года назад

I went to floral design school years ago. I was so excited as it was my dream to become a floral designer/florist. Well long story short, my educational experience really didn't prepare me for the real world. I wish I had this gentleman for a teacher. He is genius and makes designing clear. I gave up on my dream and went back to medicine, but I am inspired to begin again at least as a personal pleasure. I love flowers!

@francesland584 3 года назад

Wow back to medicine?

@sf5823 5 лет назад

1:39 How do you get flowers to last longer? 1) submerge the flowers in water. 2) Spray with crowning glory by flora life 3) add 3-4 drops of bleach to the water. 4) Cut a few inches off the stem every 2-3 days. 3:25 Classic European hand tie bouquet.

@michelled71 3 года назад

Hi. i appreciate your design method. I have been a floral designer for 27 yrs. I was always taught after greening in that the first flower should be the tallest. To achieve a line. Then work the other flowers one lower to the right of the line the other lower to the left of the line. Then the focal. Then the fillers. An experienced designer can arrange without turning the vase. To us experienced designers...flower placement just becomes natural and easy.

@tulipo6907 Год назад

Incorrect. U should always rotate your vase. Large flowers in first at the focal point. Come for free class

@grandmakitty52 Год назад

I LOVE how you demonstrate your techniques so clearly and make them look simple. Your style is welcoming and easy to watch.

When I started watching this all I could think was no there is just no way this is going to look good at all but when I saw the end of the video I was speechless... I am a designer myself and I never would have thought to do that. This is simply amazing I am definitely going to try this design and technique.

@lindabentley1749 4 года назад

I agree. I worked for this florist who was an absolute tyrant. He hired me in October and the day after Christmas he said to me "you said you had experience when you started but I haven't noticed it yet" and he fired me. He hired me for the holidays and didn't have the decency to tell me that and berated me instead. He had a nasty reputation in the area and is now out of business.

Hey, comment section! For anyone who has tried these techniques, how often do you completely submerge your flowers?

@bottleblonde925 3 года назад

i usually submerge my flowers for around 20-35 seconds! and don't forget to gently support the petals so they don't break off!

@sbobrien1643 4 года назад

I was a florist for 20 years and did our hand ties like this the whole time. Tied them with soft ribbon, not wire. Also conditioned all my stock before we put them in stock vases and then made our hand tie bouquets. Seems strange to tie them with wire when it could easily damage soft stems.. Best way to test the florists skill was to see if it would stand on its' own at end.. He's a good teacher but conditioning is hugely important prior to making bouquets in my humble opinion... 🌸 💐

@marthadiaz9725 Год назад

Hello, thank you for the info. Are the florists' hands hurt too much? the skin and nails? Do you have to work in low temperature conditions? I ask if you have to keep the temperature low for the quality of the flowers, is that true? Why you left this job?
