Frequently Asked Questions
Where do florists make the most money?
Florists tend to earn the most in boutique studios that focus on weddings, events, and corporate contracts. In South Africa, premium event florists and those working with hotels or large-scale installations often generate higher income compared to retail-only florists.
What is the hardest part of being a florist?
Floristry is physically and mentally demanding. It involves early mornings at flower markets, long hours preparing arrangements, and working under pressure for events or peak seasons. Balancing creativity with deadlines is often the toughest challenge.
What do florists wear?
Florists typically wear practical, protective clothing such as aprons, comfortable shoes, and gloves when handling thorny stems or dyes. In client-facing roles, many opt for branded uniforms or neat, neutral attire to maintain a professional image.
What skills do florists have?
Florists need strong design skills, plant care knowledge, and business acumen. They also require customer service abilities, time management, and stamina for the physical demands of arranging, lifting, and transporting flowers.
Do you deliver flowers to Riverlands Mall?
Yes. We deliver bouquets and gift arrangements to addresses around Riverlands Mall, perfect for businesses, apartments, and restaurants in the area.
What is a professional florist called?
A professional florist is often referred to as a floral designer, floral stylist, or floral artist, particularly when working in bespoke design studios or on event-focused projects.
Can I send flowers to Amazon’s Cape Town offices?
Absolutely. We regularly deliver corporate bouquets and client-ready arrangements to Amazon’s offices in Observatory.
Do you do hospital deliveries to Groote Schuur?
