A Disco Dream in Hot Pink

This wasn’t your average rooftop mixer—the Scout Guide Alexandria launch party for Volume 8 at Above ALX was a masterclass in extra. Think hot pink everything, shimmer from every corner, and installations that turned heads all night. The vibe? Disco glam meets floral fantasy.

We were thrilled to team up with the always-stylish Scout Guide crew to bring bold blooms and design details to life—florals that didn’t whisper elegance, but shouted “let’s dance.”


Our Floral Design Approach

Working with a strong color story of hot pinks, blush, and silver, we created pieces that balanced high-impact drama with thoughtful design. Some of our favorites:

  • A floating curtain of carnations in pink shades, glimmering with mini disco balls and anchoring the Scout Guide logo display

  • Statement arrangements of dyed pink baby’s breath, turquoise plumosa, pink pampas, and roses—perfectly styled for the rooftop space

  • Cocktail florals in silver-ringed vases, filled with hot pink hydrangea and vibrant spring textures

  • Suspended installations over the outdoor bar area, designed to glow under the ambient rooftop lighting

From playful textural contrast to unexpected color pairings, each design choice was made to heighten the party’s festive, otherworldly energy.


When Branding Becomes an Experience

More than a celebration, the Scout Guide Alexandria launch party was a full-blown expression of community, creativity, and collaboration. Every element—visual, floral, culinary—was a love letter to Alexandria’s vibrant small business scene.

As a business proudly featured in Volume 8, we loved designing florals that felt larger-than-life while still connected to the Scout Guide’s aesthetic values: bold individuality, elevated presentation, and local connection.


The Takeaway?

Brand parties can do more than look good—they can feel like an experience. With the right florals, even a rooftop can feel like another world.

If you’re planning a launch, mixer, or content-driven event, we’d love to help you design floral moments that go beyond the expected.

It’s been a very long time since floral centerpieces were just flowers in a vase. Today’s centerpieces have multiple elements, loads of candles, things that have to be assembled and even built on-site. And yet the presumption persists that the florist is just going to show up with a box that can be left in the corner for someone else to place on the table. 

Putting aside the fact that we take far more pride in our work than that… to say that we value logistics and planning is an understatement!! And logistics are truly our skill set. We can tell you how many man hours a particular installation will take and can design for efficiency. It’s truly our super power.

Most floral design relies on other things being in place. Not useful? “You can get into the room at this time.” Actually useful? “The bar you’re building that cascading piece on will in place no later than X o’clock.” But more than that? Start realizing that event demands are not what they used to be.

I love eavesdropping. 😜

While setting up for the new Georgetown Citibank, we overheard someone say, “This is the moment.” ❤️

And I couldn’t have said it better myself. Because when flowers are doing their job, they don’t just fill a space. They create a moment you can feel.
