The Françoise Weeks Florist Professional Wedding Design Course is intensive and inspiring, providing insights and techniques developed over her many years of European floral design.

The five-day Professional Wedding Design course provides a foundation in the business of floral design. You will learn to source and order florist's materials, market and price your services and handle client relations while you receive daily hands-on experience creating bouquets, centerpieces and decorative elements.

You will have the opportunity to develop your floral design skills, and obtain information not readily available to those beginning their floral careers. You will hone your artistic talents, developing arrangements for every level of formality, and you will be encouraged to listen to your intuition and further your own vision, while interpreting requests from clients.

Classes begin with a lecture and presentation, where your input and questions are welcomed. After a demonstration of florist's techniques and mechanics, you will design your own pieces. The finest in local and imported materials will be provided for the coursework. Classes are limited to four students to ensure valuable individual attention.


"Françoise's passion for floral design and love of teaching shines in her classes. Her floral designs are art forms with dramatic textures, unique uses of fruits, vegetables and unusual greens. Françoise has an uncompromising commitment to excellence in her techniques and delights in discovering new and distinctive ways to arrange flowers. Françoise challenges her students to think of the possibilities rather than follow the norm. Just as impressive is her gift of teaching. Her demonstrations are awe inspiring and packed with information. Françoise's passion and enthusiasm are contagious. Her classes have changed the way I look at flowers and approach each arrangement. You must take her classes!"
