Our floral design classes are held twice a week, each lasting 3 hours a session. All floral design classes are a hands-on experience with all tools, containers and fresh flowers provided for the complete floral design experience. In each flower design class large quantities of fresh flowers are shipped in for the use of the student to design and cut. Each flower design student goes through $2000-$2500 worth of flowers per semester including orchids, tropical, English garden, and Holland varieties of flower species. Each student takes his or her designs home as well as more product to produce more samples to be reviewed during the next class.
It's fun, focus, and flowers all in one floral design class. You will meet fellow flower design students, develop a life-long skill, and educate yourself on the world of flower design and production while filling your life with beautiful creations of your own design.

A
trip to the flower market is also scheduled to give the students
an understanding of how the wholesale flower market operates. Students
learn what it takes to buy wholesale and where the flowers originate
from. Flowers used in each class are shipped in from such locales
as Holland (tulips), Colombia (roses), Hawaii (tropical), Israel
(Gerber Daisies). At the Chicago School of Flower Design (as well as our other schools just as Milwaukee School of Flower Design) we teach the lover of flowers and floral designs how to design elegant
or contemporary flower arrangements for entertaining at home or for commercial
accounts. Amazing results come from understanding the principles
and theories of flower design as well as the application of those to different
flower varieties.
Everyday
application is seen throughout each class as well as special events
such as weddings or parties. Personal flowers to wear such as corsages,
boutonnieres and head wreaths are covered. Fast and beautiful table
top and centerpiece designs are one of the most popular segments.
Professional shortcuts, tips and secrets to designing for the home
and office are displayed, as well as procedure for more complicated
designing such as bridal and high-style designing. International
design styles are discussed and presented as well.
Students
can approach the semester with the goals of pursuing a career in
the flower business or to acquire the resources and skills
for designing their own personal reasons or events. Classes are extremely
informative and filled with hands-on experience. Students move at
a steady pace from one design to the next.
