Advanced Floral Design is the last level of the series of coursed designed to take the students to the level of being a master floral designer. In this course students address the final two design areas, funerals and weddings. This course consists of six sessions which are each three hours long for a total of 18 hours of instruction.
Advanced Floral Design begins with a discussion of the changing trends in funeral and wedding flowers, customer consultation and unity in designs, along with current pricing trends.
In the area of wedding flowers, students will create wedding bouquets as well as enhance their wiring skills in creating flowers to wear. In the area of remembrance flowers, students will construct a traditional fan shaped arrangement, a standing easel spray and a casket spray. Students will learn how techniques used for creating funeral pieces, such as a casket spray, translates to creating wedding pieces, such as an alter arrangement.
