Course details

The Floristry & Gifting course is led by the creative experts at S. Pride Decor Studio. In the luxury event industry, flowers and thoughtful gifting are the ultimate symbols of sophistication. This fully physical professional track is designed for florists, event stylists, and aspiring gift brand owners. We focus on the delicate balance of art and botanical science required to work with living materials and premium products. All training is conducted at our professional workshop space at Hotel Triangle.

Pride Standard” by teaching you professional packaging techniques and the art of color coordination for high-end gifting. By the end of this course, you will have the technical confidence to curate exquisite hampers and a professional portfolio featuring real-world floral installations.
