Do you have a strong interest in flowers and aspire to become an expert floral designer? Whether you're just starting out or want to advance your career, Flowers by Terra's SkillsFuture-eligible WSQ Professional Floral Design Course provides a thorough, practical learning experience that will give you the fundamental skills and artistic confidence you need in just four immersive days.
What to Expect: A Day-by-Day Breakdown
With hands-on learning at the core of each session, this WSQ-accredited course is designed to transform you from a floral hobbyist to a competent designer. Here’s what you’ll learn:
Day 1: Vase Arrangement Techniques
The lesson starts with an overview of flower theory before delving deeply into vase arrangements. You'll discover how to condition and prepare flowers. Seasonal flowers will be used to examine structure, balance, and form using chicken wire. The day ends with your very own professionally styled vase arrangement to take home.
Day 2: Hand-Tied Wrapped Bouquets
Next, we'll look at how to design a wrapped bouquet, with a focus on spiral technique, bouquet shaping, and colour harmony. You will skilfully wrap your finished arrangement, which is not only useful but also ideal for retail floristry or gifting.
Day 3: Bridal Bouquets & Boutonnières
Weddings call for elegance and precision. We go into wedding floral design on Day 3, where you will learn how to create boutonnières and bridal bouquets utilising design elements inspired by nature. You’ll walk away with an understanding of scale, proportion, and finishing techniques that bring bridal pieces to life.
Day 4: Written & Practical Assessment
On your last day, you’ll complete a short written assessment on floral theory and care best practices. As well as a physical assessment, demonstrating your skills in creating a wrapped bouquet and a boutonnière under timed conditions. Throughout the course, daily revision ensures you arrive confident and ready to succeed.
