How to become a florist and start a floral business in 2023

Hi! I'm Angelica, a San Diego wedding florist. In this video I chat with you about how to become a florist in 2023 if this is the career you want to pursue and want to start a floral business, be a freelance florist, or start a flowering hobby.

I hope you find at least one of the things I touch on to be helpful. Let me know in the comments if you have questions about anything I mentioned or would like me to dive deeper into a specific floral topic.

Hola! Angelica
So glad I ran into your channel! It’s been a fresh of breath air yet super encouragement.
And I say that because although I am
Only at the beginning of your videos you don’t overwhelm the business side of it.
Some other videos I’ve watched I’ve become so discouraged because it seems like I have to train, work at various floral shops before I can have a business.
I want to do it from home being that I just lost my
Job and want to be home for our 11 yr old.

I mean training is something I should invest as well as a mentor but watching your calmness gave me Hope. You didn’t make it so complicated.

Sorry, not sure if you’ll respond but hopefully you will I know the video is over 2 years old.

Blessings
~Denise

Hey! I’ve been understudying with a local wholesaler for about a year… we live in KS, where there is not much academic opportunity for this career, and flower shops are dying here. my ultimate goal is to own my own flower shop and all of your advice really helped. Thank you for this!! We need more flowers on this earth!

Hi Angelica,

Your video was super helpful! I am looking to open a floral shop soon but one thing I am struggling to learn or seek information is the process of ordering stock supply so for example, how often to order in florals, how many distributors should we partner with, how quickly the florals die, etc. That would be so so helpful!
