Winter doesn’t have to be all drab and dreary! The Samuel Cupples House is presenting “Holiday Rooms in Bloom,” where St. Louis’s premier florists display festive holiday arrangements that use the artwork, ambiance, and overall beauty of the historic mansion as inspiration.

The event takes place from December 8 – December 11. Heidi Glaus, of KSDK Channel 5, will inaugurate the event by lighting up the Christmas tree at around 6 PM on the 8th. Members of SLU’s choral group will sing Christmas songs.

There’s no admission charge. In the spirit of giving, visitors are encouraged to donate either a new or gently used item of winter clothing to benefit the St. Francis Xavier Church parish help center.
