Have you ever wanted to create a breathtaking dining table centerpiece, one that feels effortless, seasonal, and deeply personal? This intimate, hands-on workshop offers a rare opportunity to learn from one of the most influential floral designers of our time.
Led by Ariella Chezar, master floral designer and author of Home in Bloom, Seasonal Flower Arranging, The Flower Workshop, and Flowers for the Table, this experience invites guests into Ariella’s distinctive world of expressive, garden-driven design. A highly sought-after teacher and lecturer, Ariella has designed floral arrangements for the Obama White House and is a leading voice in the “farm-to-flower” movement. She lives in the Berkshires of Massachusetts, where her garden serves as both classroom and constant inspiration.
During the workshop, Ariella will guide guests through the creation of a lush, garden-inspired centerpiece, sharing her signature approach to seasonal composition, natural movement, and thoughtful table styling. Attendees will gain insight into sustainable floristry techniques, mechanics, and the intuitive process behind designing flowers that feel alive, intentional, and deeply rooted in place.
Each guest will leave with a completed floral centerpiece and a beautifully curated take-home collection, including a premium ceramic vase (choice of two styles), floral shears, a printed care and tips sheet, and a copy of Ariella’s book Home in Bloom.
