Must Do

The very favorite time of the year for all of us at Floral Design Institute has arrived.  We love all of our classes, but our Christmas classes are very special.  Join us, learn new skills, meet new friends, have fun and create a wonderful holiday arrangement for your home.

Christmas Ribbons & Bows
scheduled for November 27, is the perfect first class of the season. Learn all about ribbon types and styles, how to create various bows and be ready to “tie up” a perfect holiday decoration or package.

You’ll work with a geometric design dish, candles, white branches, evergreen foliages, and flowers in the trendy pinks and purples. Not for the faint of heart, this class will take you to the exciting forefront of the winter trends in design.

In Season

The big feasting day is over and all that is left are the wonderful leftovers – mmmmmmm…….. I love leftover Thanksgiving dinner! You can never have too much turkey and stuffing. Mmmmmmmmm….. In between the snacking, don’t forget it is time to get ready for Christmas.

First things first! Fill the house with Fragrant Evergreens. These long-lasting and fragrant branches will instantly add winter ambiance to your home.

Looking Ahead

It's time for one of our favorite classes of the year. Plan to join us for Christmas Throughout the House on December 1 and fill your house with flowers. Fun, and festive, this class is a great way to get together with “the girls” or a family member for a creative social day before the chaos ensues. Let us gather your materials, prepare the supplies and clean up after you are done. You just come for fun and creativity with fellow flower lovers. Register early so you don’t miss out on this popular class.

Yes, we all fall into the Christmas trappings of past. Sometimes, you just a need a little nudge to try something different in your decorating style. Christmas Design Nouveau scheduled for December 5 is the class for you.  We will create a festive contemporary holiday design set in a shiny wire armature in a sage green glass cube.  Shiny glass balls and bright wire finish this beautiful design.

We’ll pull out the old Christmas music, prepare the cider, and have everything ready. Your assignment is to find the perfect Christmas sweater to wear to class. Extra credit if you have red shoes to match!
