SAVAS x Nick.Floral Foraged Arrangement Workshop
DESCRIPTION
Born to Die: A Nick Floral Workshop
Hosted by Savas
Friday, September 12, 2025 · 5:30–8:00 PM
525 Merritt Avenue · Nashville, Tennessee
Join friends, Savannah, and Nick for an evening creating arrangements that embrace the full arc of a flower’s life - fresh bloom to fading petal, seedhead to stem. We’ll work with materials in every stage of beauty and decay, finding strength in impermanence and elegance in the inevitable. Expect raw textures, bold structures, and a design philosophy that favors truth over polish. Like the best rock lyric, each arrangement will hold both the ache and the thrill of its own ending.
What’s included:
- A hands-on floral workshop with Nick, using fresh, foraged, and dried materials
- A personally crafted arrangement to take home
- A light dinner with a natural wine pairing
- A portrait by photographer Mike Dunn of you and the arrangement you create
- Instruction and inspiration from Nick, creating pieces designed to dry beautifully and last
Only 12 seats available.
"Nick and I were destined to meet—but I fell in love with his work before we did. I was at iconic Los Angeles chef Nancy Silverton’s Osteria Mozza in West Hollywood one night when I noticed a twelve-foot dried palm sculpture hanging over my head. It was the most incredible thing I’d ever seen. A few months later, after asking Nancy’s team to cater a Savas event, I joined them for dinner at Nancy’s house. I noticed the guy styling the flowers—we were quickly introduced: 'This is Nick. He does florals for Nancy.' I said, 'Wait a minute, you did that big old thing?' We immediately hit it off.
I enlisted Nick to be my partner in creating all the window displays in our Los Angeles store. He would drag in these incredible pieces of dried wood and flowers and recycled glass—we did some beautiful work together. Since closing the L.A. store, I’ve been trying to figure out how to stay connected to the people based there with whom I align creatively and culturally. Nick often teaches classes in Beverly Hills, so I asked if he wanted to come hang with us and do a workshop. He said yes. He’ll forage all day the day before so we’ll have plenty of wild materials as well as fresh, purchased flowers. I can't wait to see what we all create together."

Behind The Process
There’s not one part of our process that doesn’t have the Savas stamp of attention to detail.
This spans everything we do in our construction (material, fit, style, function). And these are our cornerstones, our guiding lights. Our diligence in these domains make our quality what it is and the experience of our pieces one of art and of technical mastery.
Evolution and inspiration are the currents that run through our construction, with a bold base of quality over everything.
Material is our leather, common-sense sustainably sourced, the quality of our hides, the way we stretch our leather, how we process it. The way we’re constantly innovating. Discovering new dyes and ways to stretch ourselves and our artistry.
Fit is never compromising or cutting corners.
Style is how we create pieces that seem defy eras and age to become an extension of you that remains yours for life.
