Wedding Arch Decorations introduced in this section (per above pictures) were made at the classroom of California Flower Art Academy. There are so many types of wedding flower decorations.

All these decorations were made by the instructor and student of our school.
If you want to learn wedding floral decorations, you can join under mentioned courses. In order to sign up for these courses, it is usually required for a student to have some experiences in flower arrangements or have floral design related educations.
REMARKS: Prices shall be subject to change.

2. Get a fund (capital) for starting business as a florist.
3. Get a shop of florist (buying or leasing a floral shop)
4. Get a business license from a city of your floral shop
5. Get a seller’s permit/resale license from the authority
The easiest one is number 4 and 5. You can get both of them quite easily by way of making application to the authority. I have never heard that the authority refused to issue a business license or resale license. As far as you satisfy easy conditions provided by the authority, you can get these license/permit almost automatically. As you know, business license is mandatory to do any kind of business in the United States. Seller’s permit/resale license is required if you run a floral shop so you resell flowers (and also any other tangible property) to your own customers as a retailer. If you are engaged in selling merchandise to end users (like an individual buyer who comes to your shop for buying flowers), resale license is required to collect a sales tax from your customers. When you go to wholesaler(flower market) to procure flower materials, you are required to submit a seller’s permit/resale license in order to buy flowers at a wholesale price.
Next one is getting a flower shop where you sell flowers and other related merchandise. You can lease a shop or buy a
florist in the market. There are so many flower shops for sales in the market. Therefore it is up to you which way you choose, leasing or buying.
The difficult one is how to make money and save money to start your florist business. In order to operate a floral shop, you need a certain amount of money with which you can run a sound cash flow. If your fund is too small in its amount, you will face difficulties for procuring flowers, paying a monthly rent of your floral shop (in case you lease a shop), paying a monthly mortgage (in case you buy a floral shop with a loan from a lender) and paying monthly wage/salary to your employee(s) if you have any employee.
Even if you clear all above things, you are unable to do a business as a florist. Yes, you need a minimum required skill of flower arrangements. For earning this skill, we recommend you to take lessons for learning how to make 
floral designs. There are many flower arranging instructors or floral design schools who teach you floral arranging. California Flower Art Academy offers a WIDE RANGE OF PROGRAMS for various kinds of floral designs according to your purpose, goal, taste and also the type of decoration you want to learn, such as wedding floral decorations or funeral flower arrangement or just simple designs which can be sold at the shop on a daily basis. You can start from Introductory Program for only $89 (subject to change). If you have any questions about taking lessons of floral arrangements, feel free to contact info@california-academy.com We are more than happy to help you earn practical skills of floral designs at affordable prices.

If you buy wedding bouquets at floral shops or have florists make custom designed bouquets, you will be charged pretty expensive prices partially because it takes much longer time to make bouquets than regular kind of floral designs. The most ideal way is for you to make bouquets by yourself in order to save money. There are several types of bouquets available in the market. If you are interested in learning how to make bouquets, we can help you acquire practical skills by way of hands on training of person to person instructions. Our school has plenty of experiences not only in teaching how to make bouquets but also actually making bouquets at weddings. Although we offer Wedding Party Floral Arrangement Basic Course which includes a design of bouquet. However in order
to join this course, it is necessary for you to complete Fresh Flower Arrangement Elementary Course, which makes you spend lots of time and money. Some people are interested in learning to make only bouquets and they do not want to enroll in lengthy course which is expensive. Due to this kind of situation, we have established Wedding Floral Design Bouquet Course which is a brand new course. The total lesson fee to complete this course is $178 including flower materials. It takes about two hours to make one bouquet. And you will learn three kinds of bouquets in this course. Therefore you need six hours in total to complete this course. Since it is kind of hard work to complete one bouquet, we usually teach only one design a day which means students must come to the classroom three times UNLESS otherwise agreed upon between school and students or approved by school as a special case.

If you are planning to work as a floral designer or open your own floral shop (florist), we recommend you to learn and acquire the skills of funeral floral decorations in addition to wedding flower arrangements because it is said that the demand for funeral decoration is pretty high and we cannot ignore the market demand. However most of people look like paying special attention only to wedding flower arrangements seemingly because wedding decorations are happier and the colors used for the decoration is brighter and more beautiful. As far as you make a decoration as your hobby, you can ignore funeral deocorations. However when it comes to doing business as a florist or floral shop, it is better for you to learn and offer funeral decorations as well so that your business operations can be stabilized. California Flower Art Academy has been educating uncoutable number of students who would like to earn practical skills of various floral designs and flower arrangements or become a floral designer/floral decorator. One of programs/courses we offer is Funeral Floral Decoration 
Course for $298.
