New inspiration and floral techniques make stories come alive when you design a custom funeral floral tribute. In this workshop, you will build your own custom funeral tribute and learn how to construct, use your mechanics wisely for transportation, and design using texture and depth to create a living piece of art. Designing a floral tribute is only half of the challenge when taking a funeral order. We need to be able to draw out a story or a memory from a grieving family member and be able to convince them that you can customize a piece that will engage conversation, laughter, and allow their memories to live on forever in this floral tribute. Listening skills, being patient, and having the confidence to ask for trust from your customer are critical as a florist. In this workshop, we will build upon your sales skills to increase your confidence in asking for permission and trust to wow the family.
