HOW TO BECOME A CHAPEL DESIGNER

Following attendance at a Chapel Designer workshop or Floral Intensive Retreat, attendees who qualify for membership (according to the criteria listed below) are given the opportunity to join the CD organization. Tuition paid to attend the initial Chapel Designer workshop/retreat pays for the first year of CD membership for qualified attendees. 

At the end of the first year of Chapel Designer membership, you may remain a Chapel Designer by paying the annual membership renewal fee of $400.00.

Criteria for Chapel Designer Membership:

• Attend a Chapel Designer workshop

• Own a floral design business serving the wedding and event industry

• Have a functioning website for the floral design business you own

• Have a personal Facebook account (necessary for admittance into private CD forum)

• Have a social media presence for your business (Facebook/Instagram business accounts preferred)

We do allow other industry designers, planners, freelancers or floral design employees to attend our annual conferences, but full membership benefits do not apply to these attendees.

The Chapel Designer organization also has a list of obtainable goals created by Holly Chapple. These goals help to ensure that membership in the CD organization continues to promote personal professional growth, as well as, continued growth of the organization as a whole. From this list each designer must complete at least three of the goals per calendar year. 

Due to our growth, we have many Chapel Designers within the same market. Our code of ethics dictates that we assist and encourage the growth of other designers including those within our own markets. Any designer who violates the trust of this organization will be asked to leave. We are good to each other.
