Career Change Course: Commonly Asked Questions

One of the most commonly asked questions about our Career Change Course is, how do I start working once I’ve finished?⠀

This is of course, dependent on what kind of florist you would like to be, but as part of this course, we will help you find an internship to suit your needs. Whether that be retail floristry, event floristry or even working as a freelancer.⠀

We teach you how to market and brand your business & yourself in order to start gaining clients as soon as you are ready.⠀

We also have a network of previous graduates who often work with each other on large scale projects, and some businesses and freelance florists will come to us looking for staff, which we then pass on to our graduates via the private graduates Facebook page.⠀

The Career Change Course is hands on and here at Bloom College we want our students to have the best experience possible, to feel confident to start working straight away.⠀

Rustic Arrangement

I love how rustic and relaxed this design is. Ironically, designs like this can take a lot of consideration & time to get this “wild flower” look.⠀ ⠀

The vessel also adds to the overall aesthetic. ⠀ ⠀

Learn about the elements & principles of design, and how these are applied to floral design, as part of our Career Change Course. Our 3 days per week course is starting July 30. Click the link in our bio to download a brochure for this principal course.⠀

Sea Holly

Eryngium, most commonly known as Sea Holly, is a stunning combination of delicate and rough. It comes in beautiful hues of blue, violet, green and white. It’s robust, easy to grow, drought resistant & a floristry favourite!⠀

Their flowers are aromatic which attract birds, bees and insects.⠀

Sea Holly is a symbol of independence, severity and attraction.⠀

Mother’s Day 2019

Along with Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day is a very important day on the florist’s calendar.

Celebrated on the second Sunday in May (May 12th this year), the modern incantation of Mother’s Day as we know it, began in the early 20th Century, when American, Anna Jarvis, held a memorial to honour her late mother in 1908. After campaigning to make Mother’s Day a national holiday, in 1914, president Woodrow Wilson signed a proclamation designating Mother’s Day as a national holiday to honour all mothers.

Because flowers are often a symbol of fertility & life, flowers have become a traditional gift for Mother’s Day.

So show your mum how much you appreciate her this Mother Day’s by giving her the gift of flowers!

Bloom College offers gift vouchers for our workshops and courses, so your mum can learn the art of flower arranging for herself!

The Gift of Flowers

According to study completed by the Rutgers university Human Emotions Lab, it was found that flowers create instant delight and happiness, and increase enjoyment and life satisfaction. Specifically, upon receiving a gift of flowers, the female study participants responded with true smiles and reported positive moods that lasted for days. ⁣

The presence of flowers also led to increased contact with family and friends.⁣ ⁣ The research reveals that those who send flowers, in comparison to other gifts, are viewed as successful, caring and emotionally intelligent people.⁣ ⁣

Mother’s Day is fast approaching and we can’t think of a better gift to show your love!⁣
