Joining IFD has truly been an enriching experience for me. Being a Wedding Planner who started of not too long ago, learning everything about flowers and foliage, products and various foam options and colours available has given me a whole new range of décor elements to play around with. I end up sounding so much more knowledgeable in front of clients while discussing the wedding occasion’s look and theme, colours and design. Be it a sangeet or their pheras, I am completely aware of flowers, foliage and other décor aspects thanks to IFD! Being able to substitute flowers, suggest various options so each look is different has become so much simpler now!
The teacher’s at IFD keep updating themselves with whatever around is New. We couldn’t have asked for more!.

- Ruchita Bisen (Bank official)
I joined this course to learn flower arrangement for decorating my house as a hobby, with very little knowledge of flowers. But it turned out to be my first step to pursing the course to becoming a flower designer. With some more specialization and experience, I can be a professional designer.
What I appreciated most about the Institute and training, under the Director, Mrs. Seema Jhaveri and her team was their ability to encourage the students, be patient with them and bring out the creativity in them. I recommend this course to those who are passionate with flowers and want to make a career in this field or just enjoy spending time to try their creativity.
- Mrs. Zarana Trilokekar (Retired School Principal)
I always had inclination towards organising flowers into various designs but I had no idea of vastness of knowledge in this science. IFD’s course is so well planned and design that it changes you from just a hobby learner to well trained professional designer/entrepreneur. I have found everything involving the school most professional and helpful. I would sincerely like to take the opportunity to thank all the faculty members for an enriching and worthwhile experience.
- Madhavi Indap (Prof. Emeritus)
Flowers have the power to speak volumes even when at times we find ourselves at loss of words. Every design detail is important and every creation lavished with attention and coaxed into giving perfection. Whether it’s a rare treat or celebration of a once in a lifetime event our aim is always to provide our customers with a memorable floral arrangement to help define and treasure the special moment. This is what was learnt by me at IFD. I really appreciate how much care, imagination, love and preparation IFD has put in the floral design course. The Institute did an amazing job and I count myself lucky to have been part of it. IFD I want you to know how much I appreciate having been a student at your Institute.

My association with IFD started when I found out about the institute from very reputed floral industry sources whose were based Bangalore and Mumbai. I enrolled into the certificate floral designing course and realized that this course would give me the creative impetus that I was craving for. It introduced me into the fascinating world of floral design. To learn floral art under guidance of professionals, gave my floral career the special start.
I was thoroughly impressed with all my instructors. Their hard work and support has helped chisel my raw and latent talent into an emerging floral designer. The discipline imbibed by them will help with my work. With training that I've received at the Institute, I now look forward to a successful career in the field of floral designing. I am sure the Institute will always be there to provide guidance whenever needed. I have gained a unique experience as a student at IFD. I thank you for the wonderful experience and the great learning curve.
- Pankaj Gandhi (Florist – Nasik)
Institute of Floral Design was referred by a friend. This institute has given me a well rounded approach to floral design. It has also given me a foot forward in this industry far exceeding my expectations. I could not have gone as far today without their excellent instructions and hands on approach to design. Besides attending classes, if I had any questions about floral design and/or questions pertaining to the floral industry they were always just a phone call away.
After joining I could start my own business. And now I do flowers for all types of events. I deliver within and all round Mumbai. Unique containers and arrangements, bold and fun designs is what i learned in IFD. Many thanks to the Director and the wonderful faculties for their dedication to the art of floral design.
- Priyanka Chavan (Floral Designer)
Being a software engineer by profession, I was bugged by my mundane life. Then I learnt about IFD from the internet and found it different and exciting from the routine life. Joining IFD was such a great decision for me. Ever since I am with flowers I see a change in myself while handling people emotionally. The course is well structured and designed in such a way that it helps you grow as a professional. The professionalism that is maintained throughout is highly appreciable. IFD has been a fun and a great learning experience. IFD is blessed with excellent teachers who are kind, humble, helping and welcoming. I highly recommend this course to everybody who loves to be creative and innovative with flowers.

- Payal Guptae – Chef & Food Stylist
I was very confused at first whether I should join this class as I had no knowledge of flowers and thought to myself whether it would be helpful to me. But now I feel so glad that I joined, as now I know so much already. I have knowledge all about flowers, accessories and how to use these to make arrangements to decorate my house for guests. I can also start it as a profession. We all have become this big family. We all learnt a lot fron IFD and from each other’s mistakes. We learnt to work together as a group and support each other in all ways possible and this is all because of our mentors. I appreciate them for being so caring,supporting, warm and committed towards us. You made the classes so lively and interesting for all of us. Thank you so much

My experience at IFD has been truly amazing and awe inspiring. I have come a long way from stashing stems of flowers into vases to intricate floral designing. I wish to thank my teachers Ms Seema, Ms Harinakshi and Ms Daisy for grooming me to evolve into an artistic and worthy florist. IFD, for me stands for Innovative, Friendly and Dedicated. Here is wishing IFD great success in all their endeavors.
- Susheela Rao, (Consultant) - V.Parle
I joined Ifd in Oct. 2012 at Goregaon branch. We learnt every aspect about flowers from purchasing at Dadar market to arranging with different shape, style and technique. Our loving and caring teachers encouraged and guided us in every possible way. Seema madam also regularly came to our class taking interest to guide us to achieve perfection. We were taught from smallest thing like corsages and boutonnieres to huge lobby arrangements. Selling and budgeting was also taught in the class. Now we are ready to do our own business. Thanks to IFD and its associates.
- Dipti Shah (Retd Dev officer)– Dahisar
My initialization to join I.F.D came through my need for polishing the skills in flower arrangements that I have been doing for God at the spiritual organization that i am following for the last 19 years. In the initial stage I did not have the slightest idea of how much i would be learning in .I.F.D but after the duration of the course I am very very happy to have accumulated such immense knowledge.All my teachers not only taught us the basic of flower arrangements but made us aware of so many intricacies of the design that would help us to do better arrangements. I am extremely thankful to each and every member of I.F.D for helping me to learn much more than my expectation from this course. Now with all the knowledge that I have gathered I feel I can become an entrepreneur in this field and start my own business. Thank you very much from the deepest of my heart for this wonderful learning experience that I would cherish through my life .

Just a note to let you know how much I enjoyed the course. It has been great to learn the right way to do this and get a better result. Had a wonderful journey all throughout. Loved every minute of it. I have enjoyed being able to make beautiful flower arrangements for my home. Teachers have been very kind ,humble, patient & caring and have gone out of the way to help us. I am happy to be a part of this organization & would love to do my specialisation.
- Geeta Vijan (Homemaker) - Chembur
Until I joined IFD, I was just another flower admirer. But now, after nine months, I have been chiseled into an ardent, knowledgeable and passionate lover of flowers. At IFD I learnt that flowers breathe just like us humans and therefore, need to be respected, loved, cared and handled humanely. The faculty at IFD excels not only in their subject but they are also wonderful and loveable human beings. Once in class, you feel completely at home and they guarantee three hours of most memorable experience of the week.
- Suruch Katari (C.A) - Worli
I dint know that my 1st interaction with the IFD students at Dadar market will really pull me to join the course. The day I entered IFD, numerous questions & apprehensions clouded around my mind, but as I left myself free & surrendered myself to my teachers (that is my guides & flowers). I started unlocking my hidden talent & creativity. I began to evolve & grow; & the process still continues… I remember myself unable to even insert a rose correctly & now I am capable to take up ventures by myself. IFD has given me a major confidence boost. Cherishing all the lovely times spent with all the friends I made here, I will always look forward to be associated with IFD yet again. It is one of the best things that has happened to me. Thank you IFD.
- Ruchita Bisen (Homemaker) - Bandra
The past 9 months at IFD have been quite a journey for me. I have learnt so much here that I can proudly say that I'm taking a baggage full of memories and skills which I will treasure and nurture all my life.Firstly, I would like to express my deepest gratitude towards my teachers who supported me to bring my brainchild of an arrangement to reality every time. They showered words of appreciation and their constructive criticism has helped me overcome my shortcomings and move a notch higher to deliver quality. The challenges thrown our way by our teachers have only made more innovative and creative. They have taught me to think out of the box in order to stand out in a crowd.I just want to thank IFD for all it had given me
- Sangeeta Apte (Homemaker) – Dadar
With the Institute of Flower Design, I have learnt more than the art. The courses has inspired me to be creative. With the medium of flowers, I have been able to use my creative faculties to their utmost. IFD has added colour to my routine, not only literally with the beauty of flowers, but also by giving me a constructive way to spend my day and another great reason to look forward to the next! Most importantly, all of these experiences would not have been possible without the tireless, inspiring guidance of our teachers. Thank you IFD!
- Anjali Bhat (Homemaker) – Dadar
Having passion for flowers I began to search for trainer. I didn't want ikebana....and Google found me on IFD website. I knew this was the place for me to train and a call for enquiries cleared all my doubts. There was only nagging doubt and that was about my consistency for course duration of 9 months. However, in reality the journey continued with a lot of exuberance. IFD teachers were wonderful teachers. Honing our skills patiently to minutest details and helped us gently to overcome our deficiencies.. IFD has empowered us to embark on a journey with flowers passionately and professionally. It was the happiest experience. It's sad we are finishing the course. Very happy that an advance course is starting soon..
- Dr. Sujala Pathare. - Mahim
The nine months that we spent at IFD, Dadar Branch were the golden moments of our lives. We enjoyed every session through the nine months. IFD has wonderful teachers who go out of the way to provide necessary guidance & information. IFD is a very thoughtful initiative for flower lovers like us who will now be able to do what we love to do & make some earning out of it too.
- Janaki Shridhar (MBA) - Matunga
IFD is a well structured course with a very knowledgeable and experienced set of professionals leading it and has an excellent group of teachers. Teachers are very humble, patient and caring. They took extra effort to put our anxieties to rest. I am happy to be a part of the organization.
- Tejal Datey
The nine month course being conducted by IFD India is very comprehensive, taking you through the whole process of floral design . I recommend this course to all those who are in the business of flowers as well as those who have a passion for flowers and floral design as the course will equip us to be better designers both technically and creatively.
- Sujata Bhat
The quality part about IFD is their syllabus pattern. It is something which is very well planned for a new comer in this field. The Principles, Elements, Techniques, Forms and all Styles of designing are its highlights.But the main catching part is its 3rd semister while working for different occasions and events --which was a real experiment for a floral designer to begin his/her career in this field. Today I feel highly obliged to be a part of IFD who has made me well versed about the European market and enhanced my knowledge about the same.
- Sanjeevani Sawant Desai
Care has been taken that the students do not spend too much on exotic flowers or expensive flowers in the first semester, because their idea was to get our concepts or basics correct, and not produce exotic arrangement, all that would follow. The teachers are excellent, always helpful and encouraging, always guiding, how we can better ourselves without forcing their ideas on us, allowing us to grow, giving us positive reinforcements. There is always two way communication. The class environment is full of positive energy.
I would highly recommend the course to anybody wanting to be a floral designer, or as a hobby or for commercial purposes.
- Abha Agarwal
When i joined the institute i had very limited knowledge of how it would help me for a brighter future. It was only for my inclination towards creativity that made me join the institute. However today i am very happy with my decision that a small course of 9 months has helped me develop a business for myself and turned me from a student to an entrepreneur.
- Prachi Jindal
IFD is process driven and has helped me to increase my profitability significantly. Learning Methodology has helped me in purchasing the flowers and has sharpen my selling skills through audio visual mediums.
- Rajendra More
The overall course helps us to become professional floral designers as in the west, which gives us confidence in doing big events to small personalised arrangements too. The curriculum is elaborate, with proper explanation of theory first followed by practical in every class which gave the basic principles and elements required for a floral designer.
The teachers were extremely encouraging and motivating in each step of the floral arrangement. Every floral designer wanting to set up a business or those already involved should do the course to get better technical and practical know-how. I would definitely advise people to do this course to enhance their creativity and business skills.
- Seema Salgaonkar
As the whole idea of my first entrepreneurial venture "Buddy Phoolz" was getting conceived, I felt the need to get professionally trained as a florist. So the hunt began for all online courses. I wanted to do classroom course, and then like divine intervention, I came across the first ever PG diploma course by IFD in India. I started in August 2011 at the Dadar center and today as I approach my graduation, my knowledge, and confidence has immense contribution from the institute. It has helped me approach design differently and be innovative. The faculty and course outline has been good. I strongly recommend getting trained if you intend to venture into floral design as a business. Besides this of course it’s all about pretty vibrant flowers and loads of fun.
- Priya Ambre
My experience at IFD was wonderful. It was one of the best classroom experiences i have ever had. I felt welcomed and immediately at ease from day one.
This course was so enjoyable that i looked forward to each class despite 2 hour commute. The class outing to the wholesalers was very helpful.
I highly recommend this program to everyone. I loved the flowers, the teachers, and making new friend! The experience has been FANTASTIC and
the instructors have inspired me to move ahead in the floral industry. My sincere thanks and i wish you continued success in educating floral
designers all over India.
- Pinkky Kanabar
I got introduced to Indian Institute of Floral Designing through net. My experience at the institute has been very invaluable. The course provides the right mix of theory and practical training. I wish to thank to the teachers who have been more than willing to share their knowledge. IIFD has given me the expertise and confidence to excel in my career.
- Dinesh Khade
As the course is ending its difficult to accept the same though only it was 9 months. We really enjoyed the whole experience.
For my hectic professional life, the floral course proved tp be a good stress-buster. Despite absence of homogeneous participation in terms of age, profession, etc, it could reach out to the group. The course not only dealt with imparting knowledge of making or designing but also ventured into comprehensive perspective of purchasing, business plans, etc. The faculty, while focusing on teaching theory, rationale and practical applications, also made the class-room experience very lively and entertaining.
I feel that this kind of course can certainly be suggested from a business as well as a hobby point of view. Looking at my work others are inspired to join such a course and make best possible use of their time & skill.
- Ragini S Kabadi
I am thankful to the IFD family for the opportunity i got not just to learn and appreciate the art of arranging flowers but also taught me to bring out the creativity in me.the classroom experience gave me confidence to experiment and clear doubts.The teaching staff were very willing to help and guide us.The IFD family and the course content is doing a great job to help find the talent in the person .It also helps in bringing out the confidence that is needed to go out into the competitive field and the need of the huge demand in the market.I really enjoyed the whole course.Every class was waited in anticipation and made many new friends too.The appreciation of flowers that is abundant in the nature seems to have just gotten larger. Thankyou IFD and may you grow from strength to strength.

I had joined the floral designing course from IFD to know more about 'flowers and foliages' and by the end of this course, I decided to go commercial in this field. This transformation in my thoughts and views towards the floral designing and the confidence, I gained to excel in this field, speaks volumes in itself about this, very first of its kind, course in India.
I recommend this 9 months course to one and all, who love flowers and wish to use it, in scientific ways to make stunning arrangements.
