Calla Lane Florals is seeking experienced freelance florists to join our event production team. This is a hands-on floral production and installation role for weddings and events. Our freelance florists are provided with established floral recipes, quantities, and design direction and are responsible for bringing those designs to life.
This role does not include client communication, consultations, proposal creation, floral planning, or pre-event design work.
Responsibilities
Build floral arrangements according to provided recipes, quantities, and design direction
Produce centerpieces, bouquets, boutonnieres, ceremony florals, installations, and other event floral pieces as assigned
Prep, process, and organize flowers and floral supplies as needed
Maintain consistency with Calla Lane's established design standards
Load, transport, unload, and organize floral pieces and event materials when assigned
Be onsite for wedding and event installations
Set ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, and other floral elements according to the provided installation plan

Work efficiently and collaboratively with the Calla Lane team while onsite
Handle flowers, vessels, rentals, and equipment carefully throughout production, installation, and strike
What This Role Does Not Include
Freelance florists are not responsible for pre-planning or managing the client relationship. Calla Lane handles the design and planning process prior to production. You receive the plan and recipes from our team — your role is to build, install, and execute them beautifully.
