Flower Stylist Playbook: Flower Stylist Career Description





A Flower Stylist is a creative professional who designs and arranges flowers in a visually striking, often editorial or event-focused way. Unlike a traditional florist who may focus on retail sales or standard bouquets, a flower stylist works more like a visual artist or set designer, using flowers as their medium.

Key Aspects of a Flower Stylist's Role:

1. Design-Oriented Approach

  • Creates unique, often avant-garde or on-trend floral designs

  • Focuses on color theory, balance, movement, and mood

  • Works with textures, unusual blooms, and props for high-impact visuals

2. Editorial & Visual Projects

  • Collaborates with photographers, fashion stylists, brands, or magazines

  • Designs flowers for photo shoots, commercials, window displays, or branding campaigns

3. Event Styling

  • Specializes in weddings, galas, and installations

  • Integrates florals into tablescapes, backdrops, arches, and immersive environments

4. Custom, Curated Aesthetic

  • Often has a distinct signature style (minimalist, wild garden, maximalist, etc.)

  • Works closely with clients or art directors to convey a vision or story

Differences from a Traditional Florist:

Florist Flower Stylist
Sells bouquets and arrangements daily    Designs for shoots, events, or art
Retail-based    Project- or brand-based
Focus on utility/gifting    Focus on visual impact/style

Summary:

A Flower Stylist is to flowers what a fashion stylist is to clothes—focused on artistic vision, storytelling, and aesthetics, rather than just functionality.
