About this template
The Trade — Florist template is a botanical CV set in Cormorant Garamond and Karla on tender peach-pink paper. Sections give space to specialties (event work, weddings, market bouquets), seasonal vocabulary and producer partnerships — a CV that reads like a well-composed bouquet, recognised by high-end ateliers and luxury hotel groups.
Who is it for?
It suits florists, floral designers and event florists applying to premium ateliers (Lewis Miller Design, Ariella Chezar, Putnam & Putnam, McQueens Flowers, Lachaume, Christian Tortu), luxury hotel groups (The Plaza, The Beverly Hills Hotel, Le Bristol, Mandarin Oriental), wedding planners (Mindy Weiss, Bryan Rafanelli, Lavender & Rose) and luxury brands at pop-ups and runway shows. Equally fit for independent florists running their own shop.
How to use it
Cite certifications (Floristry NVQ, AIFD Certified Floral Designer, CAP/BP Fleuriste in France, MOF Art Floral) and specialties (event florals, weddings, retail scenography, sympathy work). List supplier and producer partnerships (New York Flower District, Slow Flowers Society members, Sologne peony growers, Grasse rose fields). For premium event profiles, list signature events (media-covered weddings, Fashion Week shows, hotel openings, gala dinners).
Frequently asked questions
Should I attach a portfolio to the florist CV?
Essential for any role beyond standard shop florist. The portfolio URL (professional Instagram, personal site) must appear in the header. Curate 10-12 visuals showing range (bouquet, event composition, scenography, wedding) and a coherent point of view — premium ateliers recruit on portfolio first, CV second.
How do I list Slow Flowers and farm-to-vase credentials?
These labels (Slow Flowers Society USA, Fleurs d'Ici France, British Flowers Week) attest to local, seasonal, low-input sourcing. State the year of membership and the producer partners (Floret Farm, named regional growers). For premium ateliers positioned as eco-responsible, this is a strong differentiator that drives bookings and press coverage.
Does it fit luxury hotel floral applications?
Yes, particularly for hospitality profiles (The Plaza, The St. Regis, Four Seasons George V, Le Bristol) where floral arrangements rotate 2-3 times a week across lobbies, suites and restaurants. State volumes (arrangements per week, budget managed) and coordination with the GM and head housekeeper — operational scale matters as much as aesthetic vision.
