The Floral School at Wedding Sutra is a hands-on academy that teaches the art and science of floral design, bouquet making, and event flower décor. Students gain real-world skills in working with seasonal blooms, floral foam, mechanics, and tools to craft arrangements suitable for weddings and large-scale functions.
How does the Floral School program work?
Floral School
- Duration & structure: Courses run for a set number of weeks, with modules covering basics (flower types, tool usage, care), intermediate skills (colour theory, composition, mechanics), and advanced event décor (mandap, stage, table centrepieces).

How long does a course take, and what are the schedules?

Local Focus: Kolkata & the Regional Edge
In Kolkata, floral design has unique demands — local flower varieties (marigold, orchids, roses), humid climate, traditional wedding aesthetics, and fast turnaround times. The Wedding Sutra Floral School tailors its curriculum for Eastern India: you’ll train using Chennai-grown, local & imported blooms, understand seasonal availability in West Bengal, and learn logistics of working in Kolkata wedding venues. Students here gain insights into local market trends like traditional Bengali altar décor, tropical foliage, and festival-wedding demands too.
