Join Viola Floral and Abundance + Company for a beautifully curated evening celebrating two of life’s greatest pleasures: flowers and food.
Begin by creating a lush seasonal floral centerpiece under the guidance of Viola Floral founder, Jelena, learning the principles of color, texture, movement, and composition that make a table feel truly special.
Then join chef and food stylist Claudine of Abundance + Company as she guides you through creating a beautifully styled, market-inspired cheeseboard featuring seasonal fruits, artisanal cheeses, and thoughtfully selected accompaniments.
Inspired by the art of entertaining and the vibrant produce of Southern California, this workshop is designed for anyone who loves gathering friends around the table. You’ll leave with a stunning floral arrangement, practical styling tips, and fresh inspiration for hosting beautifully at home.
Guests will go home with:
  • A beautiful, artisanal cheeseboard
  • A seasonal floral arrangement
  • Thoughtful conversation and great company!
Level: All levels welcome

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.

Viola Floral was founded in 2019 by Jelena Trifunovic — floral designer, science educator, and mom of three. Jelena was born and raised in Serbia and moved to Los Angeles at the start of the Yugoslav War in the early 1990s. She studied biology and took her love of science to the classroom — first as a high school teacher and then as a professor at Loyola Marymount University.
Jelena grew up arranging flowers with her mother, entertaining and hosting many gatherings both at home and at her family’s restaurant. After her mother passed away from pancreatic cancer in 2016, Jelena decided to pursue her passion for floral design by launching Viola Floral — honoring the bond the two women shared in a meaningful way. Viola Floral began as a labor of love and a path for Jelena to heal, but now (many years and tens of thousands of bouquets later), Jelena leads a team of designers who share her passion for flowers and floral education.
