Flowers are one of the most common decoration items for events such as weddings and are also used for the occasions like anniversaries and birthdays. Sometimes flowers are also used for expressing feelings of sympathy for a death or illness. Floral designers are professionals who are responsible for creating exceptional flower arrangements for every occasion.
After these professionals have understood what the client is exactly looking for, floral designers will cut all the flowers to a certain length and arrange them properly in baskets or vases. The main work of a floral designer is usually ruled by the season. The busiest times for these professionals are during Valentine's Day or Mother's Day, although sometimes these florists are busy throughout the year.
Floral designers need to have a good knowledge about the vast range of flowers, potted plants and foliage. They need to know the seasonal availability, names and how long will each flower stay fresh. Designers need to keep themselves updated with the latest styles and trends in the industry of floral designing. At the same time, they also need to understand the traditions of using flowers for funerals, weddings and some other occasions.
Designers will always work according to the order of the client. They will have to be very specific or they can ask the floral designers to use their own creativity. The best way to start working as a floral designer is directly working at a grocery store or flower shop. Even internet florists and wholesale flower distributors hire floral designers.
Now, that you have decided to apply at a number of places for job, you will need a well-written cover letter to get you noticed. Write a cover letter, which has all your skills and qualifications written in a precise manner. Here is a sample floral designer cover letter that you can refer to.
