Even though it is not very demanding in terms of qualifications or certifications, you will still need to have high artistic, design, and management capabilities. A floral designer must be comfortable working with different types of floral tools such as knives, wires, and thorn strippers. Knowing about the different care and handling each flower type requires is also important.

Even though employers will not ask for any advanced formal education directly, they will still prefer a candidate with relevant qualifications. These do not have to be extensive degrees or certifications; a simple experience with workshops and courses will also carry the same weightage.

Moreover, the state does not require you to become certified in the profession or gain any license. You can get started with just a high school diploma or GED. The best way to plan your career is to enroll in a short introductory course first and gain hands-on experience in a workshop. This will be more than enough to land an entry-level job that helps you gain more experience while making a living.
