Classes for Wedding Florists

As a wedding florist there are two important skills to master: how to design beautiful bouquets your brides will love, and how to price fairly and accurately so you take a profit home at the end of every event.

Our “How to Make a Bridal Bouquet” class will teach you how to create floral masterpieces for your brides, and takes you through the process of booking all the way through to final payment.

Our “Wedding Flower Pricing” class helps you to figure out your costs so you can price fairly and accurately. We give you our exact pricing formulas that reduced our stress and overwhelm and increased our profits.

The Wedding Bundle gives you a chance to bundle & save these two classes.

the side hustle gig

Have you ever wanted to start a flower side-hustle, but you’re not sure where to start, or how to set your prices, or even how to design bouquets your brides will love?  Maybe you are unsure of how to go about booking those brides in the first place.

As side-hustle florists, we know there is a demand for the work we do. We offer solid design expertise, flexibility, competitive pricing, and a personal level of care. We work out of garages, spare rooms, basements, and kitchens and take pride in our work and in being able to provide extra income for ourselves and our families.

But often, because we probably got into the industry unconventionally, we can face imposter syndrome. The classes the big guys are teaching don’t really apply to us. Our brides don’t have the cash for a $30,000 arch. We are often tasked with creating beautiful bespoke designs for deserving brides with smaller budgets. We want to know how to do work we are proud of and take a profit home at the end of the day.

That’s why we created these classes.

Two Classes: Design + Pricing

Bridal Bouquet

Bridal Bouquet Class

Back when I was getting my start in floral design, I struggled to piece together original designs from my dream list of flowers.  I thought that surely if I had a dozen Juliet roses and some peach ranunculus the details would just fall into place.  I couldn’t have been more wrong.

Works of art don’t just happen and adding in 3 extra Juliet roses does not make a bouquet sing.

Maybe you find yourself here, too, glaring at the tortured bunch of blooms in your hand with no idea how to fix it.  Broke bouquets are no joke.  I would have paid good money (and did!) to learn how to make those bouquets that stopped me mid scroll.  

In this Bridal Bouquet Class we share the secrets of how to make consistently beautiful bouquets with you.

Wedding Flower Pricing

Have you ever heard these common complaints when it comes to wedding flowers?

– “I could do this cheaper myself. This is way too much money.”

– “The minute you say wedding, the price goes way up.”

– “Can I order flowers at Sam’s Club and have you do them for me?”

We heard all of this and more in the early years. The frustration of unrealistic Pinterest boards and tiny budgets was what led to us create this resource for other beginner florists. If you are tired of barely making a profit and being gently bossed by your clients, you’ve come to the right place.

About Us

Root Design Company started as a wedding floral design business. We were wedding florists for a decade before we were flower farmers. We made every mistake in the book during those early years, and these classes are born from the struggle we faced when starting out.

In 2022 we had the privilege of doing the flowers for our own weddings.  It was the most fun we’ve ever had as wedding florists.  LaRonda got married in May and Rosita got married in August.

Rosita also grew 90% of the flowers we used in her wedding. If this is something you think you would like to do, too, we also have a cut flower gardening course that will teach you how to grow an abundant cut flower garden.

Growing and designing your own wedding flowers will be a lot of work, but we can tell you that, having come through it, we have zero regrets.
