Pumpkin Floral Arrangement

Celebrate the beauty of the season with this hands-on floral design workshop, perfect for welcoming fall! In this creative class, participants will craft a stunning autumn arrangement using a vibrant mix of fresh and dried seasonal flowers—all nestled inside a hand-carved pumpkin vase. We’ll begin with a fun and simple pumpkin carving session to create the perfect natural container, then move into a guided floral design lesson focused on texture, color harmony, and seasonal inspiration.

Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced flower lover, this class offers a cozy, festive way to embrace the spirit of autumn. You’ll leave with a unique centerpiece that brings the warmth of fall into your home—plus new skills and inspiration to carry into future designs.
