Yes, for many, floristry is a full‑time profession requiring creativity, technical skill, and time management. Florists work long hours sourcing flowers, creating arrangements, consulting with clients, and managing deliveries, especially around weddings, corporate events, and holidays. In busy hubs like Cape Town’s Foreshore, the demand for corporate florals and event arrangements makes it a thriving full‑time career.

Salaries vary based on location, expertise, and business size. In Cape Town, boutique florists and those who specialise in luxury event florals can earn significant six‑figure incomes, particularly when working with high‑end weddings, conventions, and hotel contracts. Owning a flower shop or expanding into event styling can also increase earning potential.

The role of floral design is to communicate emotion, enhance spaces, and create memorable experiences. Whether it’s softening the atmosphere of a corporate boardroom, adding elegance to a wedding, or expressing sympathy, florals serve as a universal language of care, beauty, and intention.

A flower girl is traditionally a young member of the wedding party who scatters petals along the aisle before the bride’s entrance, symbolising good fortune and the path to a joyful marriage. Flower girls often carry small bouquets or baskets and bring a charming, light‑hearted presence to the ceremony.

In nature, the primary functions of flowers are: reproduction (producing seeds), attracting pollinators, protecting reproductive organs, and contributing to biodiversity. In floristry, these functions take on a symbolic role—representing life, beauty, celebration, and remembrance in arrangements for every occasion.

In a professional context, “a floral” refers to a floral arrangement or design. It serves to enhance the visual appeal of spaces, celebrate milestones, or convey messages. In business events, such as those at the CTICC, florals elevate the atmosphere and reinforce brand identity.

The duty of a flower is both biological and symbolic. Biologically, it enables plant reproduction. Symbolically, it represents emotion, beauty, and connection — whether honouring a loved one, brightening an office, or celebrating a new chapter in life.
