As the holiday season approaches, the air becomes filled with anticipation and excitement. We adorn our homes with twinkling lights, host festive parties, and welcome the giving spirit. Along with all of the typical gatherings, there’s a fun way to bring creativity into your holiday experience: by booking a floral design class for you and your family, friends, and coworkers. Floral design isn’t just for weddings; it’s an art form that can elevate the ambiance of any holiday gathering. At Absolutely Beautiful Flowers, the premier shop in St. Petersburg, Florida, we’re sharing five compelling moments during the holiday season when booking a flower-filled workshop can make your celebrations merry, memory-filled experiences.
After the Thanksgiving Feast
Once the turkey is gone and the apple pie has been devoured, it’s time to kick off the Christmas season. Before everyone returns to school and work on Monday, plan a fun activity to enjoy together. A floral design class is one of the best experiences to give as gifts to your family. Why spend time and money amassing material possessions on Black Friday when you can bond together and have a unique experience instead? You can create arrangements to brighten everyone’s space and welcome holiday energy, all while sharing stories, laughing, and making memories. Then, when it’s time to go home on Sunday, you’ll have a beautiful flower arrangement to temper the post-Turkey blues.
Before the Family Comes Over for Christmas Dinner
A floral design class is the perfect way to get your centerpieces squared away or design a fresh gift for your holiday dinner hosts. Choose a design that incorporates fresh, wintry white blooms and bold red hues paired with seasonal elements. For a twist on British tradition, make flower crowns instead of paper crowns as a fresh and more sustainable option. Whether you enjoy attending a local class solo or inviting your closest friends, this is the best time to unwind before the big festivities begin. Following the florist’s instructions will allow your mind to rest while you check one more thing off your list. We can’t think of anything nicer.
When You’re Ready for a New Kwanzaa Tradition
Joining together as a team to create displays at a floral workshop is a great experience to give as a gift for kids and adults; it brings the whole family together in the spirit of unity, purpose, and creativity – principles of Kwanzaa. Celebrate by making flower displays for the kinara in the holiday’s colors: green, black, and red. Supplement with the symbolic fruits and vegetables of Kwanzaa, like ears of corn and apples. You can also work together to create garlands for mantels, centerpieces for buffet tables, and arrangements to display by the front door.
When Your Friends Want to Celebrate Together
Many of us attend holiday parties during the season, ranging from company events to festivities at our friends’ homes. Whether it is a corporate gifting experience or a fun night with friends, a floral design class adds a new element to the celebration and leaves you with something beautiful you created to bring home. If you usually host a gathering at your place, keep the tradition alive but add a new twist by inviting your local florist to lead a workshop. Surrounded by your favorite holiday treats, beverages, and decor, you can collaborate on a design, such as a garland, or each group member can craft an individual holiday bouquet.
When You’re Out of Gift Ideas for Mom
If your mother, or anybody on your holiday shopping list, is notoriously hard to buy for, surprise them with an experience gift and create holiday memories together. A floral design class will allow her to flex her design skills during the week between Christmas and New Year’s Day, along with whomever else has come home for the holidays. Enhance the experience with her favorite beverage, whether a bubbly prosecco, a dry pinot noir, or elegant mocktails with floral accents.
At Absolutely Beautiful Flowers, we know all about the many benefits of flowers and want to share them with you and your loved ones this holiday season. Attending a floral design class together is a surefire way to give the best experience as a gift and amp up the merry energy.
