Details & Schedule | A glimpse at La Petite Bloom: Holiday Hosting
Pop the bubbly...it's the holiday season! Join us for our half day workshop, just a few days before Thanksgiving, to get into the holiday spirit! Spend a few hours creating beauty together, while learning new skills or honing old ones, this one-of-a-kind La Petite Bloom Workshop is meant to give you tons of inspiration with hands-on learning. We are thrilled to welcome back Jennifer Haf of Bloom Floral Design, who will be demonstrating a holiday flower arrangement, then helping YOU create your very own, just in time to grace your Thanksgiving tablescape. You will learn hosting tips and have a few different table setting demonstrations, along with inspiration + DIY ideas to make your holiday table shine. In our second hands-on session, you will try your hand at calligraphy and hand lettering with Kristin Hussey of Sable & Gray. After practicing your lettering, you'll have time to make custom gift tags for your family and friends for the upcoming season of giving.
Whether you are a creative industry professional or in a different industry altogether but have a desire to use your creative talents, we want to welcome you to our first Holiday Hosting workshop.

JENNIFER HAF, BLOOM FLORAL DESIGN
Bloom believes that flowers are most beautiful in their natural state. When combined with other blooms in a customized palette, color and texture create a distinctive design that exudes the feeling you wish to create. BLOOM sources flowers from only the finest growers, sourcing as many flowers as possible locally and domestically including our own specialty cutting gardens.
We are welcoming Jennifer back to teach the floral arranging class of our holiday workshop, where guests will get to see a live demo, choose their blooms at our flower bar, then create their very own Thanksgiving Day centerpiece. The arrangement will be in a neutral palette, featuring whites, greens, blush and peach flowers.

Shops | We're excited to welcome a few local small shops to our workshop, so you can shop some of their holiday items!
Carleigh is a designer and illustrator living in a small beach town on Lake Michigan with her husband, Aaron. She grew up in Holland where she spent much of her childhood outdoors; running through the woods, picking wildflowers, and usually ending up on a sandy beach. Her love of drawing and creating began as early as she can remember, and only grew from there. She studied art and design at Grand Valley State University and graduated with a degree in graphic design, where she began dreaming up a business that would marry her love of art and the world around her. In spring of 2016 she launched her online shop of nature-inspired stationery and paper goods, and has been pursuing her dream ever since.
Carleigh will be selling some of her gorgeous holiday items, like gift tags, calendars, cards, and wrapping paper at our workshop!
