Flowers speak to us with their beauty and implications. Their sweet aromas drum up pleasure to our senses and create a feeling all their own. The presence of a flower can take you back to childhood summers spent at your Grandparents home, a first date, or even a first kiss. Florists take these individual works of natural art and make them into precious symbols of love, happiness, mourning, thanks and congratulations.
A flower arrangement has its place in any home or business just as a wildflower has its place in any field. Transforming a space with colors and aromas can liven any area and decor. A flower arrangement is like an oil painting in that the painter is trying to convey a feeling or mood just as the florist is trying to do with the flower.
Peonies and hydrangeas with eucalyptus leaves add a sweet country charm to an elegantly rustic wedding while roses and star jasmine add romantic flair to formal nuptials. Along with bouquets and boutonnieres, table arrangements, ceremony arrangements along with reception flowers and other bouquets are needed to for each affair. These beautiful works of art can transform an event from ordinary to grand and speak not only for the creator, but for the people who ordered them.
Not only do floral arrangements have their place at a wedding and romantic event but they also express sympathy and love in the most difficult times. Funeral arrangements adorn chapels, grave sites and caskets adding peace and warmth to a day that is filled with tears and hurt. With such a difference in feeling, a different style and mood needs to be projected by the florist. Sophistication and modern lines along with live plants and peaceful bouquets seem to lift the solemn mood and please the eye at such a time.
Along with weddings and funerals, baby showers, baby arrivals and get well bouquets are all welcoming sights. Certain holidays are famous for sending and receiving floral arrangements as well. Romantic long stem roses are a delight to receive on Valentine's day and a colorful tulip display works perfectly for mother's day.
Some floral artists are known for certain things. You may have one who creates the most beautiful and unique center pieces while another excels with larger scale floral decor. Knowing what you want and selecting a florist who can create what you need can be such a delightful experience. You will learn about styles as well as color combinations and prices by talking to someone in the field. A choice may need to be adjusted depending on the cost of it all.
A floral artist not only has to be able to create beautiful works of art, but they need to be able to get the job done on a time schedule while using perishable supplies. They must know which flowers are in season and how long it will take to receive inventory when it is not in season. They adjust prices based on flower selections as well as the type of arrangement and the size of it.
Becoming a florist and learning the tricks of the trade may be as simple as trial and error. You may need to work in a flower shop to perfect your skill and take classes in order to polish them off. When looking for someone to style your event selecting florists can be easy when looking at stunning photographs of lovely floral decor. Factoring in prices and seasons as well as how perishable the preferred flowers are, may be the deciding factor in the end.
