What kind of profession is a florist

A kind of aesthetic artist.

1. The working platforms of florists include flower stores, floral studios, floral schools, and wedding companies. Most florists work in florists' stores, and their general scope of work is limited to commercial flowers. Strictly speaking, these people can not be called "master", should be categorized as "artisan". According to historical records, the first engaged in the profession of florists are basically garden unit workers. Mr. Xie Ming, the master of flower arrangement in China, once told me that the first time they were to arrange flowers with mud, which is a dark history that happened in the Magic City.

2. Most of the first generation of domestic florists are unschooled, with the gradual flow of information, increasingly frequent exchanges of floral art at home and abroad, florists as a profession, but also recognized by the national labor department, only the legal name of every person who calls himself a florist is very embarrassing: flower arranger. The title of florist is an imported product, the Chinese tradition and its similar title should be horticulturalist.

3. It's just that most of the students graduated from gardening schools don't know anything about floriculture, and the point is, the teachers in the schools don't know anything about it either, and they still pretend to teach the students flower arranging classes. It can be seen that the teaching of paper is harmful, floriculture practice, focusing on the actual combat.

4. The work of the florist is the artistic processing of flowers (fresh cut flowers), according to the demand, some are commodities, some are works. Floral merchandise are more familiar, such as gift bouquets, opening baskets, wedding floats, hotel flower arrangements and so on. Floral works we are more unfamiliar, such as a few days ago screen brush screen of Milan Fashion Week on the human body floral show, private customized salon floral soft furnishings, a variety of floral exhibitions and performances and so on.
