Florists & Floral Designers

No wonder there are small, medium and large flowers shop in Dubai and elsewhere in UAE blossoming every day. The responsibilities of the personnel handling the Flowers & Florists outlet are extremely varied at present.
It encompasses a range of flower and garden care including growing, nurturing and creating beautiful flower arrangement for the clients. The job is seldom boring therefore and is surely a boon for people who love working with nature. The type of florists & floral designers in Abu Dhabi differ sharply from one another too.
While a wholesaler often cultivates vast lands for growing flowers in every form and color in order to cater to the urban population. They may also be involved in garden landscaping and creating artful designs with cut flowers and a variety of shrubs, leaves and inanimate objects. Both the flowers as well as designs are sold to professionals as well as retailers who have their own share of clientele.
Buying flowers is not a rarity today. However, one can also find a variety of indoor plants as well as bouquets at supermarkets and roadside stores apart from petrol pumps and garden that do a brisk side business in selling flowers. The term florist is applicable only to shops that specialize in cut flowers and plants though.
The flower shops are often in quaint places that are decorated aesthetically in order to showcase their real wealth i.e. flowers. Sure, floral bouquets and wreaths along with a bunch of them sold singly are in demand throughout the year. The florists & floral designers Sharjah and elsewhere prefer to organize their flowers according to the culture of Middle East as well as that of the developed countries. The birthday, anniversary, and graduation day and welcoming a guest are all done with flowers. However, it may be essential to call up and order the floral arrangement well in advance as any national occasion in the Middle East is sure to push the demand sky high. Late comers are often disappointed as they fail to get the flowers of their choice.
Likewise the wedding of a celebrity or a funeral of magnitude is an occasion to carry flowers. Gifting flowers to the hostess on being invited to an Arab household is a strict no-no though. However, the urban populace is sophisticated enough to understand the Western culture and do not mind accepting flowers from a woman guest who is permitted to present a bouquet to the lady of the house.
Although flowers are not ingrained into the culture of Middle East, the florists & floral designers in the arid desert lands do quite well serving the expatriate population at present. Roses and jasmine are loved by one and all for its symbolism though. The heady scent of the jasmine flower is also celebrated by the Emiratis as are the orange blossoms and citrus plants.
