CHRISTMAS FLOWERS

When it comes to setting your Christmas table, nothing makes a bigger statement than flowers. Traditionally, it's potted poinsettia, but as you'll see below we have inspiration with poinsettia mingling amongst other gorgeous flowers within the arrangement. Amaryllis is what I dream of for my Christmas flowers, but I've been loving the idea of peonies this year. There are some great options with garden roses as well. So here are six of my favorite holiday centerpieces (to inspire us all).

Emily from Whisk & Whittle killed it as usual and made pumpkin spice donuts, chocolate chip cookies and brownies for the evening. And she created the gorgeous table setting above!

We started with a visual presentation of a few of our past events and their mood boards, showing inspiration that lead to the final products.

Everyone got to jump right in and create their own holiday floral arrangement, that they got to take home at the end of class.

We then moved on to the table setting portion, where each attendee got to choose their favorite tabletop items and decor, to create their own magical holiday table.

I can't even begin to thank Cassandra of Borrowed Blu for letting us use her stunning pieces for the workshop. We were so lucky to get to play with all of these gems.

We all died and went to candle heaven thanks to Yummi Candles -- who, by the way, have every color and sized candle you could ever want.

We also brought in an array of fresh fruit, herbs and gourds for the students to add to their table design. We were so blown away by how incredibly gorgeous and unique each person's table setting was. Here are more below!
