Flower Arrangement Class: Unique and Creative Workshops for Client Engagement and Employee Team Building

In LA, creativity comes in many forms. Floral workshops are one of the best. They combine art, nature, and teamwork and turn ordinary meetings into extraordinary events. I sat down with Olesya, a florist at ART Flowers LA, to discuss their team building workshop ideas with flowers.

Olesya: “Thanks for having me! I’m excited to share why these workshops are perfect for team building and creative events.”

Common Questions We Get About Flower Workshops

Question: What are the benefits of flower arranging workshops?

Olesya: “Oh, where do I begin? There are so many! Well, I’d start with the creative aspect. Working with flowers allows people to express themselves in ways they never thought possible. I’m constantly amazed to see someone who says they’re not artistic light up when they create a bouquet.

Of course, if we talk about corporate team building workshops, there’s teamwork. To make arrangements in groups, participants have to work together. Even something as simple as choosing a color palette or arranging blooms in a vase (You’d be surprised how quickly opinions differ on whether to add more blooms or greenery!) – every aspect of our masterclasses is group work.

And let’s not forget stress relief. Flowers have a proven calming effect. Plus the hands-on nature of masterclasses gives participants a break from screens and daily tasks. Everyone leaves feeling refreshed and inspired.

Another great benefit is the sense of accomplishment. Imagine creating something beautiful with your hands. This boosts confidence and positivity, often spreading into other areas of life and work.

Question: What inspired you to start offering flower arrangement workshops?

Olesya: “Honestly, it started with my love for flowers and how they bring people together. I noticed how clients in the shop would light up when I would teach them a fun fact or trick about bloom care. It clicked for me. I thought, ‘Why not create a space where people can fully immerse themselves in arranging flowers?’

And I saw how flowers make people happy. I wanted to create a space where teams could share that. Then I realized these masterclasses could also build relationships between participants. That’s how the team building workshop activities with flowers started.

Question: Can workshops be personalized for different groups or occasions?

Olesya: “One size doesn’t fit all. Personalization is the heart of what we do. For corporate teams, we can align the workshop with their branding. For such events, we might use company colors or incorporate their logo into the designs. For seasonal events, we usually focus on holiday flower arrangement class ideas, like wreaths for winter or fresh spring bouquets. No two events are ever the same because we take the time to understand what the group wants and design the experience around that.

We can also incorporate unique requests, like using rare or meaningful flowers to add a personal touch. We can create workshops with cultural themes, like Japanese Ikebana or Mediterranean-style arrangements. It’s a unique chance to learn about global floral traditions.

Groups can also focus on flower types – roses, orchids, or wildflowers – to align with their preferences. If the group has specific interests, like floral art for an exhibition or arrangements for a celebration, we adapt the session to match their vision.”

Question: How do flower workshops foster team building and creativity?

Olesya: “In our team building workshops for employees near me, participants have to communicate, share ideas, and make decisions together, just like in the workplace.

For example, teams sometimes create a single large centerpiece in one activity. This requires everyone to agree on the design, select flowers, and work together to bring it to life. It’s a fun, low-pressure way to boost problem-solving and communication skills.

Plus, the creative element lets people step out of their usual roles. You might see someone who’s normally shy take the lead. I always get inspired when I see this. The relaxed, non-competitive environment helps break down workplace barriers. Colleagues connect on a personal level at our masterclasses.



Participants also try new combinations. For example, they might mix bright tropical flowers with soft greenery. (And it’s incredible how competitive people can get over the placement of a single bloom!) These challenges often show hidden talents and help teammates see each other’s strengths differently. For teams looking to recharge, bond, or simply think differently, these events are transformative.”

Question: Can you share a memorable workshop experience?

Olesya: “Oh, so many! One that comes to my mind first is with a real estate company. They wanted to celebrate a record-breaking quarter, and we decided to create floral installations for their office lobby. This appeared to be one of our best workshop ideas for employees. It turned into an incredible team effort. Each department worked on a different section, and the result was amazing.

Another memorable masterclass was with a tech startup that wanted to boost creativity within their team. We focused on unconventional designs and used geometric vases, as well as bold, tropical flowers like bird-of-paradise and protea. Teams had to create arrangements that represented their department's vision for the upcoming year. This sparked lively discussions and a lot of laughter as they translated abstract ideas into floral art.

Another time, a group of designers from a fashion brand used our employee workshop to experiment with textures and colors. They said it sparked ideas for their next collection!”

Question: Do you share photos of the participants’ work?

Olesya: “Absolutely. We take photos at every workshop on team building to capture the creativity and effort that goes into the arrangements. Participants love showing off their work, and companies even use these images for social media or internal newsletters. It’s a great way to keep the memory alive!”

Question: Can you sum up the expert secrets of floral workshops?

Olesya: “Keep it personal. Think about the group’s goals. Choose a theme that resonates and let the flowers do the rest. And if you’re looking for guidance, ART Flowers LA is always here to help.

These masterclasses bring connection, creativity, and shared experiences to a new level. If you’d like to host a workshop or have questions, feel free to reach out – we’d love to bring your vision to life.”
