On one of the chilliest nights of the season so far… I headed out with my friend Natalie to a wreath making workshop held by one of my “flower girl” crushes… Yasmine Mei.

She’s gorgeous and exotic and ethereal… just like her floral creations… and she couldn’t have been more sweet and endearing in person.

So with a shot of whisky (see below), and the most gorgeous fruit and foliage to choose from… we got our “craft” on, put down our phones (but not my camera 😉 ) for two hours, and kickstarted the holiday season in one of the loveliest ways possible.

Thank you Yasmine, and event space Elysian for the beautiful evening!

The fruits of my labor…

A basketful of goodies…

I mean…

Belly warmers…

Natalie’s wreath in the making…

I just can’t resist a pop of color!

Such a unique space!

Salads made from ingredients used in the wreaths… attention to details!
