Saren Rem
Floral Design Instructor
It was serendipity that brought me to
this place of floral passion. While looking for a
career to match my degree in Journalism/Public Relations, I found
a knack for event planning and styling instead; although, my
journey did not stop there. After a couple of years of
growing my event business, my clients began requesting for
flowers but also keeping within budget. It was a tough
challenge considering I knew absolutely nothing about flowers;
however, I managed to pull off a few mildly impressive basic
designs. Paired with my love for fresh flowers and a
curiosity to learn the basic mechanics of floral designing, I
began to research floral classes and thus enrolled into the
floral program at Long Beach City College. During and
after completing the full course requirements, my passion grew
intensely along with my creative talents. Since my journey
started, I’ve competed in competitions and have won awards for my
designs. What continues to inspire me is the idea that
floral designing is limitless. By use of unique
materials and blossoms paired with design style and techniques
can really bring life to a space and bring smiles to people’s
faces. When I’m not immersed in floral designing, I
love to travel and seek inspiration from the various places I
visit.
