Sharing the challenges and surprises she experienced in building her business, Justine explains:
* stocking the basic supplies and materials for your products' designing and packaging;
* the crucial question of flower sourcing, and the ecological impacts to consider;
* working on defining your studio's brand, building your portfolio, and ensuring that your online presence builds clientele;
* using eco-friendly design techniques;
* preparing, packaging, and transporting your creations;
* communicating effectively with clients;
and more.
A review of design basics is included, with step-by-step instructions for nine floral arrangements.
Justine ends with three useful case studies, including a floral set for an advertising shoot, a floral scenery backdrop at a boutique, and a wedding's floral arrangements.
Importantly, this guide faces the reality that even while floral designers cope with today's logistical, ecological, and economic problems, they can align good values with market forces-and contribute to developing a floral industry that is more respectful of the environment and that educates its consumers.
