Start planning now for National Wellness Month in August
August is National Wellness Month, and for organizations everywhere, that means one thing: it’s time to start planning and think beyond the smoothie bar.
While chair massages and step challenges will always have their place, today’s employees and students (August is back to school for so many of them) are craving something more meaningful — experiences that support mental clarity, emotional balance and creative recharge. For those tasked with wellness programming, employee or school events or for those who want to stuff the suggestion box, we’ve got a refreshing idea: Let them play with flowers.
Bouquet Box Flower Bars are immersive guided floral arranging experiences that feel as therapeutic as they are joyful. And they make perfect sense during National Wellness Month—because the benefits of flower arranging aren’t just anecdotal. Studies have shown that working with flowers can lower stress, boost mood and promote a sense of calm and focus. It’s mindfulness, creativity and tactile engagement all rolled into one—without the need to change into workout gear.
Wellness-forward brands like Headspace, Calm and Therabody are leading the charge this year by encouraging employees and communities to prioritize holistic self-care—mental, physical and emotional. That means organizations are embracing more experiential wellness activations from sound baths to journaling workshops. A DIY flower bar fits beautifully into that mix, whether it’s for a wellness fair, team offsite or lunchtime recharge session. Plus the health benefits of DIY are known to reduce stress and improve moods. Another win-win.
Bouquet Box Flower Bar events are fully custom (choose flowers that match branding, a theme or just the season) with a mini master class in floral arranging. No floral experience required — although skilled arrangers love to flex at these events too — just curiosity, spending time and a desire to create something beautiful. Our team members and franchisees are looking forward to helping design, plan and execute this experience while you sit back and partake in getting your zen on. Your team members and students leave not just with their own hand-arranged bouquets but also with a sense of accomplishment, connection and a little more grounded than when they arrived.
