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.

Oh how we love a room shot…

Don’t get us wrong! Give us all the delicious little flower close-ups. We want to see every ruffly petal and perfect place setting.

But then BACK UP!

Because this is the moment we’ve been thinking about all along. How do those centerpieces fill the room? Where does your eye go first? Do the tall pieces actually feel tall beneath a 20-foot ceiling? 

Does the whole thing have rhythm?

Seeing all of those individual pieces finally come together into one beautiful room never, ever gets old.

Twenty-plus years in and we still get a little giddy about it.
