Women are simply amazing, and though this is something we think about often, March (Women’s History Month) feels like an especially appropriate time of year to celebrate that fact.

This floral arrangement workshop with Flowers by Ford was one for the books, with over 40 women gathered together in Blank Studio NYC for an empowering few hours together.

Upon arrival

Everyone was handed spicy palomas made with Mike’s Hot Honey, Topo Chico, and Madre Mezcal — a combo we’re still swooning over. Chips, dips, and salsas were set out for everyone to munch on, alongside Mexican Chocolate Cookies made by one of our all-time favorite female-owned brands, Lark Fine Foods. Every one of their cookie flavors is to die for.

Then it was workshop time!

Guests made their way to their seats, and we surprised everyone with a toast from Tayshia Adams, host of ABC’s The Bachelorette. She spoke about women, how resilient and strong we are. We then did a raffle drawing, where two lucky guests won self-care packages put together by Daughter of the Land.

The rest of our time together was led by Molly, who never fails to turn a few simple stems into works of art.

It’s pretty empowering to sit on the sidelines of one of these workshops and watch the particiants' eyes light up as they watch their own hands create something they never imagined they could. All it takes is a little instruction and encouragement sometimes.

We’re already excited for next year’s Women’s History Month activity. Cheers!
