Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Wreath makers design and manufacture decorative wreaths (wreaths) used in weddings, funerals, and events using artificial flowers and materials.
Description
Wreath makers arrange artificial flowers, dried flowers, ribbons, and other decorative materials on iron or styrofoam frames, secure them with adhesives or wiring, and complete the wreaths. Based on drawings or samples, they perform cutting, shaping, and color coordination, producing them in sizes and shapes according to standards or customer requests. They also handle quality inspections, finishing, packing, as well as inventory management and equipment maintenance within the factory. They accommodate both mass production and small-lot production tailored to seasons and events, collaborating with procurement staff, designers, and logistics departments to meet deadlines.
Future Outlook
Although affected by fluctuations in wedding and funeral demand, there is stable demand for decorations in traditional events and ceremonies. Succession of skilled techniques by experts and value addition through high-end ornament manufacturing are required.
