The European Approach

Our school offers a European approach to education in floral design.

Historically American flower arranging evolved from European traditional floral design.
Besides traditional floral design, contemporary European masters offer visually dazzling concepts.
From that perspective, the American style is quite conservative. So, if somebody looks for visually stunning, stay-above-the-crowd designs, they hire European-trained florists!

Certified graduate students will have on hand a portfolio with over 200 professionally done images – this is a very valuable investment into your future floral shop or special events business.
