The Samuel Cupples House is hosting its regular Rooms in Bloom with a holiday theme this December:

The event begins with the lighting of the Cupples House Christmas tree on December 3 at 5:30 p.m. On-air radio personality, Laurie Mac of K-HITS 96 will light the tree and serve as the official hostess of the preview reception of Holiday Rooms in Bloom that will immediately follow the tree lighting. Carolers from the SLU music program will perform songs of the season.

Join the festivities as members of the St. Louis Florists Network will “deck the halls,” of St. Louis’ only Richardsonian mansion with floral works of art that feature the crimsons, evergreens and winter whites of the holiday season. The elegantly furnished rooms of the historic mansion will be resplendent with the creations of the area’s premiere florists.

No admission charge. In the spirit of giving, all visitors are encouraged to donate either a new or gently used clothing item to benefit the St. Francis Xavier (College Church) parish help center. Make the historic Samuel Cupples House your home for the holidays.
