Okay so for my
- 00:04 - 00:07
career I did a floral designer.
- 00:08 - 00:13
So for the summary a floral designer does just about everything you can
- 00:13 - 00:17
think of with flowers from growing them to selling them in pretty bouquets.
- 00:18 - 00:23
So it goes through like the whole process. So the first topic is
- 00:24 - 00:29
they cut new flowers, transplant plants, mixed plant or flower food solutions,
- 00:29 - 00:33
fill containers with food solutions and sanitized and clean work spaces.
- 00:35 - 00:39
And then first subtopic to when it comes to events.
- 00:39 - 00:41
Floor designers help customers decide the type of
- 00:41 - 00:44
flower arrangements they need for events like weddings,
- 00:44 - 00:47
funerals prominent or dinner parties.
- 00:47 - 00:51
They also make sure bouquets are delivered to the right person at the right time.
- 00:52 - 00:55
So floor designers probably do a lot more than you thought.
- 00:56 - 01:01
So for education and salary um The only schooling you need to be a floral
- 01:01 - 01:04
designer is a high school diploma or the equivalent which would be like a G.
- 01:04 - 01:05
E. D.
- 01:06 - 01:09
So it's really not a lot of schooling, it's pretty simple.
- 01:09 - 01:11
Um But if you wanted to open your own
- 01:11 - 01:14
floor designing business you would need your business degree.
- 01:15 - 01:19
There are programs that are useful for floral for florists who want
- 01:19 - 01:23
to start their own business like vocational schools or community colleges.
- 01:24 - 01:30
So for salary they make $50,000 per year. And keep in mind this is just an estimate.
- 01:30 - 01:31
This isn't like
- 01:32 - 01:35
what every floral designer makes.
- 01:36 - 01:37
This is just like a rough
- 01:38 - 01:42
like estimate of what they could make and like the average.
- 01:43 - 01:49
So these are just pictures of floral designers just making their designs,
- 01:49 - 01:51
creating their creations.
- 01:51 - 01:52
So yeah
- 01:54 - 01:56
so for the business degree,
- 01:56 - 01:58
although you don't need college to be a floor
- 01:58 - 02:01
designer if you want to start your own business,
- 02:01 - 02:03
you will need a business degree.
- 02:03 - 02:07
Um you can get your business degree at college after two years,
- 02:07 - 02:10
so it is pretty simple to get your business degree.
- 02:11 - 02:14
Um you don't have to go to like a big college for this.
- 02:14 - 02:16
You can literally go to a community college and
- 02:16 - 02:20
get your business degree to be a florist.
- 02:21 - 02:29
So then for this is just a picture of a diploma for like showing the schooling.
- 02:29 - 02:35
So next is a set designer. So to be a set designer you have to observe
- 02:35 - 02:40
set to sign on a bachelors degree, complete an internship, build your portfolio,
- 02:40 - 02:43
expand your professional network, create
- 02:43 - 02:45
resume and digital portfolio,
- 02:45 - 02:48
apply for an entry level job and let yourself be creative.
- 02:49 - 02:52
So a lot goes into being a set designer, this is just like
- 02:53 - 02:55
related to a forest
- 02:55 - 02:58
and it's kind of like, it obviously
- 02:59 - 03:03
has more schooling that you have to have in order to be a set designer,
- 03:03 - 03:09
but it does go hand in hand with the idea of a florist just in a different way.
- 03:10 - 03:16
So Haiti Malloy is a popular floral designer influencer on the internet,
- 03:17 - 03:21
she has her own company and creates a lot of cool creations using flowers.
- 03:21 - 03:25
She has been in the field for four years and has no education.
- 03:25 - 03:28
Um with floral designing.
- 03:28 - 03:33
Okay, so the video I have is not hating Malloy, but it is just
- 03:34 - 03:39
kind of getting the idea of what she does. So it's kind of stuff like this,
- 03:39 - 03:41
that is super cool
- 03:42 - 03:46
and that's how she makes a living, that's how she got popular.
- 03:47 - 03:47
So yeah,
- 03:48 - 03:50
so
- 03:51 - 03:51
but
- 03:52 - 03:55
now we are on to our final summary,
- 03:55 - 04:00
so some positives to being a floor designer or you get to be really creative,
- 04:00 - 04:02
you always get to use your creativity
- 04:03 - 04:06
with creating the designs money.
- 04:06 - 04:10
You get paid fairly good and doing good for the planet,
- 04:10 - 04:12
You're like helping out with like
- 04:13 - 04:17
plants and just like making sure all that stuff is good and then negatives,
- 04:17 - 04:19
it can get stressful.
- 04:19 - 04:21
Sometimes you don't have those creative thoughts to
- 04:21 - 04:23
use until you're like stuck with what to
- 04:23 - 04:27
do and then sometimes they don't have enough
- 04:27 - 04:29
flowers or they don't have the right flowers.
- 04:29 - 04:31
And that can be hard when a customer
- 04:31 - 04:33
orders a specific thing and they don't throw
- 04:33 - 04:36
flowers and they can just get super stressful
- 04:36 - 04:39
and yeah,
- 04:39 - 04:44
so I personally would not be a floral designer just because I have allergies
- 04:44 - 04:48
from plants and also because it's just not something I'm interested in,
- 04:48 - 04:51
I'm not the most creative artistic person,
- 04:51 - 04:55
so I'd rather do something like in an office or
- 04:55 - 04:58
something like teaching, it's just not for me,
- 04:58 - 05:02
but I'm sure it's for someone out there watching and thank you.
- 05:02 - 05:04
So yeah, that's a floral designer
