What フラワーデザイナー do

An English description is being prepared. Japanese description:

ディスプレイ用やプレゼントに使われる、生花を中心とした装飾作品を制作する。
 具体的には、店舗やイベント会場などのディスプレイを生花で装飾する。また、結婚式会場の装花や花嫁のブーケや髪飾りを制作することもある。フラワーショップなどで希望する商品を予算内でアレンジすることもある。フラワーデザインのスクールで趣味でフラワーアレンジメントを楽しむ人に教えたり、デザイナーの育成を行うこともある。
 ディスプレイを行うデザイナーの場合は、依頼を受け、完成予想図をプレゼンテーションし、制作する。フラワーデザイン以外の部分はディスプレイ制作会社に依頼することが多いため、そのような会社との共同作業となる。
 フラワーショップのデザイナーの場合は、お客の要望にあった花束やアレンジメントを作る。お客を待たせて作ることが多いため、スピードが要求される。生花の仕入れ、管理、販売なども行う。
 フラワーデザインの講師の場合は、花の扱い方だけではなく、色彩、流行、ファッション等の幅広い知識が求められる。生徒に対して花の魅力を的確に伝える技術も必要とされる。

How to become フラワーデザイナー

The typical path in Japan is shown by the education, training and experience of current workers above and in the Japanese guidance below. A detailed English guide for this occupation is being prepared.

Guidance from job tag (Japanese)
入職にあたって、特に学歴や資格は必要とされないが、農業高校や園芸高校、専門学校のフラワーデザイン科などで専門的な知識や技能を身につける場合が多い。未経験から目指すには、フラワーショップのアルバイトからはじめる方法もある。
 趣味でフラワーデザインをする人は多いが、実際に職業として続けていくためには、多くの経験と技術を身につけることが必要とされる。フラワーショップなどで経験を積み、フラワーショップを開業、フリーランスのフラワーデザイナーとして独立していく人もいる。
 関連資格としては、厚生労働省の定める技能検定の「フラワー装飾技能士」や、関係団体の認定する資格がある。
 大手のフラワーショップなどを除き、新規学卒の採用はほとんど行われていない。フラワーショップのスタッフやスクールの講師アシスタントなどを中心に中途採用が行われている。
 花を扱う職場のため華やかなイメージがあるが、花によってそれぞれ異なる扱い方が求められ、水揚げの処理や手入れの方法など地道な作業も多い。フラワーショップでの仕事には、花と水の入った重いバケツを運ぶ、注文を受けた商品を車に積んで配達するなど、体力を要する仕事もある。薬品などの取り扱い方法なども学ぶ必要がある。また、花だけが相手ではなく、顧客の要望を的確に聞き、予算内で提案するなど経験や高いコミュニケーションスキルも必要となる。
