Candle Flower Bouquet Class at All My Exes

Each participant will begin by selecting a vase for their arrangement.

Next, they will choose approximately 10-15 decorative pieces—such as flowers, toppers, or figurines—depending on the size of their vase. At this stage, participants may add painted details to personalize their selections. A minimal amount of paint and brushes will be provided for this step. Once finished, the painted items will be set aside to dry.

While the decorations dry, participants will collect a block of floral foam and a blunt knife. At their workspace, they will trim the foam to fit securely inside their vase. They will then gather 2–3 sheets of wrapping or tissue paper and wrap one sheet around the foam, leaving a sheer layer on top so stems and sticks can easily puncture through. The wrapped foam will be placed inside the vase and set aside.

Finally, once the painted pieces have dried, participants will complete their arrangement by inserting their chosen flowers, toppers, and figurines into the prepared vase. Once those are arranged there are provided dried flowers to stick between the open cracks of the wax. As well as optional ribbon around the vase.

Info: Hello! We are Pup Country Candles- an artisanal candle company with purpose.

At Pup Country Candles we breathe new life into discarded materials by using recycled wax and wicks from events here in Charleston, South Carolina- one of the largest wedding destinations in the world. In teaming up with local vendors, we are able to repurpose these discarded materials, thereby reducing waste in our community.

In addition to her love of candle making and reimagining materials, Pup Country Candles founder, Amanda Pena, also boasts a love for dogs and dog training. With a master’s in education and certifications in animal behavior, Pena has been training dogs for over 10 years. As a behavioral consult Pena has seen firsthand the need for resources and equipment in her community- particularly in a post-pandemic society in which many dogs have gone without the proper socialization needed for a healthy lifestyle.

It is our mission to use the proceeds of Pup Country Candles to help families in need
