About the British Florist Association
Supporting professional floristry across the UK.
The British Florist Association is the not-for-profit trade association supporting florists and the wider UK floristry industry – from independent shops and studios to wedding and event specialists, educators, growers, wholesalers and suppliers.
What the BFA does
We exist to strengthen professional floristry by helping members save, grow and connect, while representing the interests of florists across the wider industry.
- Represent florists in discussions around skills, qualifications, apprenticeships, industry standards and wider issues affecting the trade
- Provide practical support and guidance
- Support education and professional development
- Create opportunities to connect across the industry
