While both roles involve decorating for events, a Floral Designer specializes in creating floral arrangements and bouquets, often working in floral shops or studios. An Event Decorator has a broader scope, including floral and non-floral decor, and works across various event settings. The two roles may overlap, but their primary focus and skill sets differ.
