 Who I’ve created this flowerschool for and why

Who is this for? Could it be you?

This school is for those of you who want to learn how to create floral designs for home, family, parties or special events, dances, or even the office. It’s for people who want to use flowers somewhat regularly at their home. I made a list of some specific situations that prospective students might be in. 

This class is for:

• The creative person who wants to master another craft. In general, creative people like to get good at many creative things….like cooking, and knitting, and scrapbooking, and making jewelry, and painting….and add flowers to that list. If you are a self-identified creative and you are ready to get really good at flowers…come on board. This class is for you.


• The crafty, helpful, volunteer mom or dad who wants to know how to create cute floral bouquets for teachers, or make the kids corsages and bouts for dances. This is the person that often donates their time and talents to others…whether it’s your kids school activities, or in a church group…or some place like that. You have the time and energy to be that person…the one who makes everything just a little bit better with your positive energy, attitude, and talents. You want to make centerpieces for the teacher’s thank you dinner, or you want to host a church or school fundraiser at your house where everyone makes floral bouquets to take home. If that’s you, this is an awesome place for you. 

• The person that doesn’t feel creative or crafty, but wants to learn HOW TO choose flower combinations for their home…the person who wants to awaken the creative part of them that maybe hasn’t been awake for awhile. And you know why I say that??? Because flowers and plants are for everyone. They are a gift…and everyone is invited to have them. EVEN IF YOU DON’T FEEL CREATIVE. You are invited to be here and I’m just gonna love you up with creative, can-do energy. 


• This online flowerschool is for the party host that loves flowers, and loves to have flowers at their events. Maybe you host book club, or bible study, or the Pampered Chef party. Or maybe you host “Make-Up Artist Night” or maybe you host your neighborhoods gourmet dinner club, or maybe it’s your Sunday Night Family Gathering. Whatever your hosting…if you love having flowers at your party…and you want it to get a little bit easier, and you want to learn more about the HOW, this is SO the place for you. 


• Now…some of you are wondering…is this class for actual florists? Or soon to be florists? Or people that want to work in a flower shop? And my answer is this: It could be. The things I am teaching in this particular set of flower classes are many of the same skills I needed to open my own flower shop when I was 27 years old. I had attended an in-person flower school before I started my shop….and after that, I was so inspired to create for my shop. Many of the design techniques I teach in this online flower school are the design techniques I used to start and run my flower shop. So…if you are a beginner florist, and you want some inspiration…this could be a place for you. But it’s not geared towards you. It’s geared towards the everyday consumer of flowers. 


• If you are a brand new employee or want to get hired at a flower shop, this course might be really helpful. It’s not formal. Meaning, I’m not teaching the principles of design in a formal manner. Additionally, I’ll be teaching a bit about how to incorporate flowers into home decor. Like the module on “Styling your Spring/Summer Cloche”. If you work at a shop that has that style…that uses Cloches (which is a bell shaped glass) that might be helpful to you, especially if you will be working in a shop to create vignettes. Kind of like….This flowerschool is for the 15 year old who wants to get a job at a flower shop…and wants to get a little training before they apply!!!  


• One thing I’ve been asked is Hey…would this be a good course for my crafty creative teenager….And yes…this course, at least the corsage and boutonniere portion, might be perfect for your creative teenager that wants to make their own corsages and boutonnieres for dances or parties. It’s one reason I offer the corsage and boutonniere module as a separate class for single purchase.


• Ok then…what about a DIY wedding? What if I wanted to do a DIY wedding? 


• Well…this course would be a good first step. DIY wedding is pretty big decision. I rarely suggest the family do their own flowers so this question is pretty loaded. I have a lot more to say about this. So yes, the things in this class would set you up with the techniques to do a certain type of wedding bouquet, specifically a European Hand-Tied Bouquet…but do I recommend doing your own wedding flowers? Not so much….It really depends. 


• Another group of people that might like this course is Interior Designers. Now..the work we do here is smaller scale, but if you are an interior designer and you want a beginner design course full of ideas, inspiration, and lots of HOW-TO…you might like it inside FLOWERSCHOOL. I think you’d especially like the modules on Hand-Tied Bouquets, Styling a Cloche, Creating Your Own Signature Design, Crate Design, Hana-Kubari Design…and all the detailed learning in the middle. Most often interior designers are so good at scale, and combinations, and knowing your favorite products and what they do for you and your clients. The flowers are usually frosting on the very delicious cake you baked….so if you want to learn a little more about flowers…join us. I think interior designers who want to learn more about flowers would find this really helpful. Fair warning…this is not big scale. It’s kind of 101. At some point, if there is interest, I would create a course specifically for interior designers with some bigger scale pieces. But for now, if you just need a starter flower course, you might like this one.


• Lastly, this course is for the person who just wants entertaining to be a bit easier. We’ll talk about ideas and give ideas for entertaining, especially as we get closer to the Holiday Season. If that’s you, this might be a good course for you.

Ok…did you find yourself in any of those places? I hope so!

One thing I want to mention is about plants. If you are a plant lover out there and you’re wondering if this is a solidly "planty" course, I’ll say this.

I love plants, and am currently in plant collection mode. I use them in design work often. Most modules and lessons include the use of 1-2 plants, and some modules include more than that. But this course is not about growing indoor or outdoor plants. It does include USING them well and outfitting your home plant collection with plants that will serve you well in your floral design projects…whether we’re talking corsages and bouts, or centerpieces, or crates, or holiday tablescape design, or creating your signature design style. Plants are used in all of these…and we will talk about and suggest plants that would be great for your collection, but this is not a plant class focused on growing plants. That being said, in module one, corsages and boutonnieres, I did use 7 different plants in that module. And plants are definitely part of the discussion in this course.

So...this online flowers
