48 Hours of Intensive, Hands-On Training

After completing our 48-hour Complete Course in Floral Design, you will have the skills and knowledge to begin your career as a professional floral designer.

Our intensive program is designed to be accessible to everyone—even those with no previous training or experience in floral design.

Through hands-on practice and professional instruction, you will learn the essential techniques, principles, and creative skills needed to design beautiful, professional-quality arrangements.

The European Approach

.Our school offers a European approach to education in floral design.

American flower arranging has historically evolved from European floral traditions. Today, European floral masters continue to develop these traditions into innovative, contemporary designs that are visually striking, artistic, and highly individual.

While traditional American floral design tends to favor more familiar and conservative forms, the European approach encourages creativity, movement, unusual combinations, and designs that stand out.

If you are looking for floral design that is visually stunning and goes beyond the ordinary, learning the European approach can give you a unique creative advantage.

Your Floral Design Business

Build Your Portfolio. Start Your Business.

Your education is also an investment in your future business.

As a graduate, you will receive a professional portfolio featuring about 300 images of floral designs, professionally photographed during your training. Your portfolio can become an important tool for presenting your work to potential clients and launching your own floral business or special-events business.

More than 5,000 students who have completed our European Floral Design School programs have gone on to establish their own businesses around the world, developing their own individual creative styles.

Learn the skills. Build your portfolio. Develop your own style. Create your future in floral design.
