SEASONAL WORKSHOPS

Join us for an evening of flower arranging at our shop in Chelsea. You will learn how to choose, condition, and arrange flowers while immersing yourself in nature and beauty. The evening is structured for you to get creative, relax, and have fun, all while learning tips and tricks about seasonal blooms and different techniques on how to arrange them. All experience levels are welcome.

Classes are inspired by a seasonal story, begin promptly at 6:30pm, and run about two hours. We will round out the evening with snacks and sips while we create together!

Summer | July 9th: Arrange a lush wildflower hand tie incorporating Summer's beautiful bounty! Arranging in your hand can be trickier than you think, however this is a good skill to have especially if you are working towards crafting wedding bouquet making in the future or if you are a Summer flower forager. We will use flowers and greenery such as hydrangea, veronica, astilbe, amaranthus, garden roses, pampas grass, wheat, ivy, fern varieties and eucalyptus.

Autumn | October 8th: Embrace the jewel tones of the fall season and create a more traditional centerpiece that feels just as rich. We will work in footed vessels, creating a grid naturally with the greenery and the blooms themselves. Plan to work with ethereal blooms such as dahlias, astilbe, cockscomb, thistle, calla lilies, various fall foliage and berries.

Holiday Special | December 10th: Get into the holiday spirit with our final class of the year that will focus on having a more festive flair! Come create vase-less centerpieces for your holiday tables that incorporate taper candles into the arrangements - you will make your beautiful creations during this fun night so that all you will have to do is light the candles for your holiday table! We will work with a mix of lasting elements including pine and evergreen varieties, berries, amaryllis, calla lilies, brunia, rose varieties, pinecones and dried orange slices.
