A Cozy Winter Wreath Workshop at Eye for Pretty at Home in Danville, California

This past December I was joined by a lovely group for an intimate evening of winter wreath making. As a mom and businessowner, I know how hectic the holiday season can feel. This event was designed to create a special space for the community that would allow you to work hands-on with nature, create something for yourself, and kickoff the holiday season with friends.

Nicole of Eye for Pretty graciously opened the doors of her beautiful shop in downtown Danville, Eye for Pretty at Home, as our workshop venue host. The store was a twinkling winter wonderland of candlelight and seasonal decor – the coziest and most inspirational setting for the evening.

Guests were greeted by glasses of wine and champagne, festive tunes, and the scent of evergreen from a foliage bar full of winter textures like various pines and cypresses, local foliages, berries, and preserved flowers. Each individual’s station was set with a wreath building kit – including the wreath form, clippers, wire, silk ribbon, and bells  – plus a personal snack box of charcuterie and nibbles by Danville Cheese and chocolates by Danville Chocolates. 

We took time to meet and mingle before getting started. I guided the group through an initial demo, sharing my foundational design techniques, composition notes, and care tips. Then it was time to turn it over to our attendees to create their own one-of-a-kind creations. Everyone was able to get one-on-one instruction from me throughout the evening as they perfected their wreaths, chatting and laughing away with their friends. It was truly meditative!

At the end of the evening, no two wreaths looked the same. Each wreath was a unique reflection of each attendee’s personal style. The group photo captured by The Poffs says it all – everyone was so proud and excited to take their creations home.

I look forward to hosting more of these community events in the future! If you’re interested in hosting a private floral or wreath workshop (perfect for a birthday party, bridal shower, girls’ night out, or corporate event) – I’d love to chat details with you!
