Holiday Floral Centerpiece Workshop

Create something beautiful for your holiday gatherings!

Join Garden Muses Studio for a festive, hands-on Holiday Floral Centerpiece Workshop, where you'll design a lush, garden-inspired floral arrangement perfect for displaying at holiday dinners, parties, and seasonal celebrations.

The holidays are all about gathering, connecting, and creating memorable moments with the people we love. Flowers have a beautiful way of transforming a space, setting the mood, and bringing warmth and joy to any celebration. In this workshop, you'll create a stunning seasonal centerpiece that adds an elegant, personal touch to your holiday table.

We'll be designing in a compote vase, a beautiful, footed vessel with a wide, shallow bowl. Its elevated shape makes it especially well-suited for centerpieces, allowing flowers to spread naturally into a lush, airy arrangement while maintaining a low profile that encourages conversation across the table.

Using chicken wire instead of traditional floral foam, you'll learn how to create a sustainable, garden-style arrangement with beautiful movement, dimension, and seasonal color.

Whether you're a beginner or a flower enthusiast, you'll leave with new floral design skills and a gorgeous, display-ready centerpiece to enjoy throughout your holiday festivities.
