Holiday Workshop: Create Your Festive Table (Oct. 29 @ 11AM)

Join us for a one-of-a-kind holiday table styling workshop where entertaining becomes an art—and gathering feels as good as it looks.

Designed for hosts, creatives, and anyone who loves to bring people together, this immersive experience weaves together 3 essential elements of seasonal hospitality: floral design, festive food, and inspired tablescapes.

We’ll explore 3 iconic holiday celebrations—a bountiful Thanksgiving feast, a casual holiday open house, and a sparkling New Year’s Eve cocktail party—each brought to life with its own mood, menu, and style. In this hands-on session, you'll learn from 3 seasoned experts:

Floral expert & garden designer will lead you through creating natural, seasonal centerpieces using flowers, fruits, vegetables, and plants—perfect for each occasion’s mood and color palette.

Interior Stylist , known for her Italian tabletop collections, will demonstrate how to layer linens, ceramics, glassware, and accents to craft refined and memorable tablescapes.

will share festive food pairings tailored to each gathering, from harvest-inspired platters to elegant party bites—complete with recipes and presentation tips.

From florals to flatware, snacks to centerpieces, you’ll leave with fresh inspiration and joyful confidence to elevate your table and celebrate the season in style.

Cooking Classes: Remember to come hungry, because you will leave with a full belly. Please don’t think that you have to be a great cook to take any of these classes. All you really need is to enjoy spending time in the kitchen, or desire to increase your enjoyment in the kitchen. Joining one of our cooking classes will be a fun and engaging experience and change your relationship toward food for the better. During class, each participant will receive recipe printouts, shopping and preparation checklists, and plenty to eat. Classes are by reservation only. Only 12 reservations per class. Please let us know about any special dietary needs.

Cancellation Policy: Because seating is limited and food is purchased in advance, we cannot guarantee full refunds for cancellations made less than a week prior to the event. In the event you must cancel late, we will attempt to fill your seat with someone from our waiting list. Please email cancellation notices.

What Should I Bring? Please dress comfortably and come with a smile and eagerness to learn. Small group classes are taught by both demonstration and hands-on participation, so you can choose to participate as much or as little as you feel comfortable. We will provide all the tools you need to participate, including aprons, cutting boards, knives, etc.

The School: Surrounded by stainless steel, thick white marble, commercial grade appliances, and artful accents, you will learn to cook in a rather stylish way at Joyful Kitchen in Wellesley.
