How Much Money Do Floral Designers Make?

If you’re interested in starting a career as a professional floral designer, it’s important for you to have a general idea of industry-standard salary averages. Especially as an amateur designer just getting started in the business, knowing what’s normal to charge clients is important- you don’t want to undersell your services to new customers, or accidentally overcharge people for your work.

In general, floral designers in the United States make about $50,000 per year (this figure reflects research completed as of October 30, 2017) according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. In terms of being paid an hourly rate, that translates to an average of $24 per hour.

This figure essentially demonstrates the middle ground of the industry, so it falls somewhere between the salaries earned by entry-level, first time beginners and industry pros who have been around for significantly longer and naturally earn much more.

Want to start a floral design business?

As is true of any profession, the amount of money you can expect to make as a floral designer depends mostly on the work dynamic you chose, and the amount of time you can commit to your craft. When we reference work dynamic, ask yourself- do you see yourself working in collaboration with a larger company such as an event or wedding planning firm? Will you be working full time, 5 days a week? Or do you want to be an independent florist, in which case- will you have your own brick and mortar flower shop? Will you work from home doing smaller freelance projects for residential clients? Will you do commercial arrangements for businesses or for events?

These are all questions you can answer throughout NYIAD’s floral design course as you start to develop your business plan and pricing models according to the future you see for yourself.

If you intend on working independently and charging clients per project, there are several things you’ll need to keep in mind when it comes to developing a fair cost model. Firstly, you always need to keep track of how much money you’re spending on supplies. Second, consider overhead costs. Do you work in a rented space? Did you buy your own commercial store? How much is your rent payment? Electricity and water bills?

These are all things you’ll need to consider when you determine how much your product is worth- the space it was created in counts. And finally, you need to value your own time. When you’re naming the price, always try to establish a rate that reflects the actual amount of time you spent creating the deliverable.

And finally, it’s also important to remember that location matters when it comes to salaries earned in any industry, floral design included. Fluctuations in buyer demographic, customer lifestyle and income etc. will always depend on upon the area in which you decide to sell your work. Therefore, you need to realize that the price at which you can reasonably list your floral arrangements may have to change depending on whether you’re selling in a small, rural town- or in a high end boutique in Manhattan.

5 Genius Holiday Party Hacks

Via Harpers Bazaar

Do you want to start your own professional event planning business one day? If this has always been a dream of yours but you’re unsure how to get started, planning some parties for your families and friends can be a wonderful way to gain experience and grow your portfolio as you complete your event planning course.

As a student and aspiring professional, you should always have your future portfolio in mind, and be sure to take advantage of any opportunity to develop it. So very time you plan and execute an event of any kind, take plenty of pictures. From photos of menu choices to close-ups of décor, keep in mind that this is your chance to show potential clients why you’re worth working with- down to every last fabulous detail. So make sure these pictures are well-lit and clear.

Just in time for the holiday season, we came up with a list of our absolute favorite holiday party planning hacks for 2017 to help give you some festive inspiration. Here’s what we found:

Via Hawthorne and Main

Hot Chocolate Bar

This is an adorable, decorative buffet option for this year’s wintertime event of any kind. In the beautiful set-up pictured here, the planner went with some large, clear containers to hold all the drink accompaniments. We especially liked her choice of see-through bowls for this arrangement, simply because the toppings sort of look festive themselves, so it’s nice to keep them on display. As far as toppings go, she went with classic favorites such as candy canes and marshmallows, but you can get as creative as you’d like with yours.

It’s also worth noting that DIY menu choices are always an effective party planners’ pick because they give guests something to do. The key to a great party is to keeps the guests active as much as possible. So having them get up, experiment with these toppings and share their creations with one another adds an element of activity to the function unmatched by simply serving something premade- always a plus.

Via Taste of Home

Chocolate Covered Pretzel Wreath

This is a really simple DIY dessert option that we chose specifically for the event planner on a budget. Not only are all the ingredients super inexpensive and easy to find, it looks impressive and Instagram-worthy all the same.

Essentially, all you’ll need to do is make classic chocolate covered pretzels, simply using white melting chocolate chips dyed green, then arranged in a circle to look like a wintry wreath. Decorations are entirely up to you- this decorator used red and green sprinkles and a big red bow, but you can use any type of holiday candy you want for yours.

via Living Locurto

DIY Light Décor

We absolutely loved this inventive, jumbo-sized holiday light craft from the Living Locurto blog, and it’s sure to be a hit among guests at your event this year too. Not only that, it’s incredibly easy to make, and all you’ll need is balloons, curly green ribbon and dark green disposable cups.

If you want to go the extra mile for the wow-effect, you can actually head to Amazon or Walmart to find balloons that will literally glow- but as long as your event is taking place in a well-lit venue, regular balloons will look just fine too. Here’s a full tutorial on how to make this awesomely original craft.

via Mon Cheri Brides

Signature Cocktails

This drink was our 2017 pick for your holiday-themed signature cocktail. The presentation here looks absolutely incredible- festive, joyful and elegant all rolled into one. To make this wintry refresher, start by combining blackberries, sugar and water in a small saucepan. You’ll want to bring that to a boil (on high heat), then quickly reduce it to a slow simmer and let it heat for about 12 minutes. This will help those blackberries become nice and soft, and it’ll bring out a really beautiful, extra-deep color in them too. After those 12 minutes, you’ll be left with what should look like a purple-ish colored sugary syrup. Take it off the stove and remove the blackberries (but hold onto them for later) so you’re left with the syrup alone. Once cooled, simply spoon some syrup into a glass flute (these were rimmed with a beautiful, sparkling gold sugar) and top with champagne. Garnish with those blackberries from warlier and a sprig of rosemary, and you’re ready to impress those guests!

via Tip Buzz

Layered Jello Shots

The last hack on our list is only for the adults at your party-this awesome Jello shot looks incredible, and is sure to be a crowd pleaser amongst your partygoers. Here’s the full recipe tutorial on what ingredients you’ll need to buy and how these are properly layered and prepared.

The recipe is really fun to make, but be aware that it takes some time- so definitely allow a few hours of time for those layers to properly set. This probably shouldn’t be one of the party-prep items you leave for the day-of.
