I took both the Floret Flower Arranging Workshop and Bouquet Bootcamp because I wanted to understand why some arrangements look professional while others feel chaotic—even with beautiful flowers.
What I realized surprised me:
👉 Floret is NOT random, emotional, or purely artistic.
👉 It is an extremely structured system designed to look effortless.
The difference is that the structure is hidden.
👉 Being the face of your business
Floret is not random or “feeling-based.”
It is a controlled system built to appear natural.
I took BOTH:
They are NOT teaching the same thing.
Most people simplify it as:
That’s not actually true.Both are systems.
They simply organize flowers differently.
Bouquet Bootcamp teaches:
You can follow it step-by-step.
It feels almost architectural.
Floret teaches:
Less obvious… but still highly structured.
Bootcamp = visible system Floret = hidden system
One thing Floret explains very differently from traditional floral design is the idea of using 6 fundamental ingredients when building natural garden-style arrangements.
At first glance, the arrangements look loose and organic.
👉 But underneath, the structure is extremely intentional.
Floret organizes arrangements into two major layers.
The first 3 ingredients build the framework of the arrangement.
These are usually placed lower and closer to the base of the bouquet or vessel.
This creates the overall shape and movement.
Examples:
These bridge transitions between flowers and foliage.
They help connect movement throughout the arrangement.
👉 Without this layer, arrangements can feel disconnected.
This creates variation and complexity.
Examples:
These connect focal flowers throughout the arrangement.
👉 They distribute color and rhythm evenly.
These are the flowers your eye notices first.
Examples:
👉 These create visual anchors.
This is one of the most recognizable parts of Floret’s style.
Examples:
👉 These soften the arrangement and create movement.
Without airy accents, arrangements can feel stiff and overly dense.
The goal is NOT randomness.
The goal is controlled naturalism.
Every ingredient has a purpose.
The arrangement is designed to feel:
…but underneath, it is carefully structured.
That was one of the biggest realizations I had after taking the course.
This was another major realization.
Floret is NOT:
“use whatever looks pretty”
It is actually:
stay within a controlled color family.
You see:
This is why arrangements still feel cohesive even with many flower types.
This was probably the biggest realization of the workshop.
Floret arrangements consistently follow asymmetrical placement:
This is NOT random.
It strongly resembles Ikebana principles:
Once I noticed this, everything changed.
I realized every arrangement is intentionally shaped.
This is where Floret separates itself from most floral courses.
Not spiral technique.
Mechanics.
What you actually learn:
You learn how to:
This completely changed how I see arranging.
Let’s be honest.
This course changes how you shop.
You will probably want to grow:
Because Floret uses them constantly.
Why?
These are not just “filler.”
They are structural ingredients.
You will also likely buy:
If you follow this style, mechanics become unavoidable.
This was the strongest section in the course for me.
Not arranging.
Not flowers.
Branding.
The lesson teaches:
This applies far beyond flowers.
It applies to:
People don’t just buy flowers.
They buy YOU.
My personal experience:
It felt more like:
Beautiful to watch. But not something I could directly apply.
This is the magic of the course.
You learn control without making arrangements feel rigid.
This is one of the biggest gaps in most floral education.
Floret fills that gap extremely well.
Very few floral courses teach this.
Floret understands that:
aesthetic + identity + storytelling = business
👉 Some people may struggle if they need rigid formulas.
Bootcamp = framework Floret = refinement
It is a structured system.
height + asymmetry = everything
too many colors = chaos
this is what makes arrangements hold properly
I used to think floral design was mostly creativity.
Now I realize:
it’s structure + control.
Floret simply hides the structure extremely well.
That’s why the arrangements feel effortless.
Take both.
One teaches the framework.
The other teaches refinement.
Together, they completely changed how I see flowers.
