Description

With special guest florist, Megan Hoelle

Join us for a thoughtful morning of flowers, tea, and intentional gathering inside the Viola Floral Studio. This intimate experience is designed to celebrate the connection between floral design and everyday ritual through a curated tea experience and hands-on floral workshop.

Hosted by florist and tea enthusiast Megan Hoelle, the morning begins with a guided tea journey exploring the beauty, history, and grounding nature of tea. Guests will then create a lush seasonal floral arrangement inspired by the mood, palette, and textures of the experience.

Calming, elevated, and deeply restorative, Tea & Blooms is designed for anyone seeking creativity, connection, and a chance to slow down.

Guests Will Enjoy:

A curated tea service with finger sandwiches and light bites by Buena Vida Tea
A seasonal floral arranging workshop
Thoughtful conversation centered around beauty, ritual, and mindfulness

Level: All levels welcome

Viola Floral Studio: 916 Colorado Ave., Santa Monica

Please note that all workshops are non-refundable, but if something comes up, feel free to send a friend in your place — flower joy is always transferable. We’ll be starting promptly, so plan to arrive 15 minutes early to settle in, sip something refreshing, and get ready to bloom.
