DE LA FLOR SCHOOL OF BUSINESS + DESIGN
When I first dipped my toes into the floral world, the main thing that held me back was the lack of educational opportunities. I couldn't justify giving up school and my other plans with the little education I did have. I needed more! It took me a year and a half and lots of money before I started my "side hustle" of floral design. But even after that, it took several months of running a business before I could feel confident in the business side of things. For this reason I offer a one-of-a-kind floral education course. During your Eight weeks with us we cover everything from technique, flower identification, mechanics, social media, business set up, and client consultations. At the end you are even given an opportunity to work in one of Utah Valleys wedding venues to create your very own installation and bridal bouquet to be photographed by multiple photographers to start you a professiYou will be given hands on experience and mentoring sessions to give you all knowledge and experience needed to start your floral design career.
