Rose of Sharon Floral Design Studio transformed the Thaden School Gala with eclipse-themed, colorful floral designs, creating a cosmic atmosphere for the event.

SPRINGDALE, ARKANSAS, UNITED STATES, July 8, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Rose of Sharon Floral Design Studio recently transformed the Thaden School Gala into a vibrant, otherworldly experience with floral designs inspired by the recent eclipse. The event, themed “TOTALITY,” featured the studio's work in creating arrangements for corporate and non-profit events, demonstrating floral design capabilities beyond weddings.

Located in Bentonville, Arkansas, Thaden School is dedicated to providing a balanced and challenging education that nurtures curiosity, creativity, and character in its students. The school's mission is to create a learning environment where students can thrive academically and socially.

A Cosmic Collaboration

For the past three years, Rose of Sharon Floral Design Studio has had the privilege of designing for the Thaden School Gala, held in Bentonville, Arkansas. This year, event manager Laura Hammarstrom envisioned a space-themed gala to celebrate the eclipse, complete with lantern planets and a cosmic color palette. Althea Wiles, the visionary behind Rose of Sharon Floral Design, brought this concept to life with floral arrangements intended to transport guests to another galaxy.

“Laura imagined a bright, otherworldly aesthetic to complement the amazing lantern planets she had planned for the ceiling-scape,” says Althea Wiles, founder and creative director at Rose of Sharon Floral Design Studio.

“When the client said they wanted an eclipse theme, we could have gone black and white, but we chose full-on space-y colors starting with our tablescape. Huge shout out to Rose of Sharon Floral Design Studio for taking our vision board and taking it to the next level,” says Laura Hammerstrom, event manager of the Thaden School Gala.

Floral Design Highlights

Using moss as a foundation, the team arranged a vibrant mix of blooms in yellow, hot pink, purple, blue, green, and orange. Key ingredients included yellow Craspedia, blue delphinium, green anthurium, orange ranunculus, and fuchsia anemones. Low table arrangements created the illusion of flowers growing directly from the tables, complemented by bright green acrylic chargers.

Large floral sprays featured painted Monstera leaves in turquoise and hot pink, layered with orange gladiolus, purple orchids, and blue delphinium, achieving a mesmerizing “Avatar” effect. These arrangements were displayed on colorful acrylic stands, enhancing the event's immersive atmosphere.
