CLIENT COMMUNICATION & COST CALCULATION
CLIENT COMMUNICATION & COST CALCULATION
December 12–13 | 2026 | In-person or online
Beautiful flowers are only part of the business
You can be an incredibly talented florist and still struggle to make a profitable business.
Knowing how to design beautiful arrangements is one thing. Knowing what to charge, how to calculate your costs, how to communicate your value and how to turn an enquiry into a paying client is what makes floral design a profession.
The business side may not be the most exciting part of becoming a florist, but it is one of the most important. These are the skills that protect your profit, build client confidence and allow you to turn your creativity into a sustainable career.
Why these skills matter:
Your creativity needs a business behind it. Great ideas only become successful projects when they are supported by accurate pricing, planning and organisation.
You need to know your numbers. Understanding your costs and margins is essential if you want to make money from your work rather than simply cover your expenses.
Communication is part of your service. The way you respond to an enquiry, ask questions and present your ideas can make the difference between winning a client and losing one.
Clients are buying your expertise. They are not simply paying for flowers. They are paying for your creative vision, knowledge, time, organisation and ability to deliver.
A professional business gives you freedom. When you understand how your business works, you can make better decisions about pricing, clients, projects and how you want to grow.
You may come to this profession because you love flowers. But if you want to build a business from that passion, understanding the business behind the flowers is just as important as learning how to arrange them.
Prefer to focus on a specific technique or subject? All modules are also available as individual masterclasses, allowing you to deepen your expertise without committing to the full programme. Each masterclass is designed to stand on its own while still connecting to the wider programme, allowing you to join a single session or explore several depending on your goals.
Where communication turns creativity into clarity and visibility
This module focuses on the communication and structure behind a successful floral project. We explore how to translate a client’s vision into a clear, professional process, from the first contact to a fully developed proposal.
You’ll learn how to ask the right questions, communicate with confidence, and build trust throughout the planning process, while ensuring your creative ideas are supported by a solid business foundation.
During this course you will learn:
How to gather the necessary information from clients
Writing a clear and professional introduction email
Preparing a floral proposal with accurate cost calculation
Translating your concept into a functional yet beautiful mood board
Creating a structured timeline for the wedding weekend
By the end of this module, you’ll be able to guide clients smoothly through the planning process and turn ideas into well-structured, beautifully presented floral proposals.
