Transformation & Tribute: 36th Annual Children's Hospital Gala

We recently had the honor of being part of the 36th annual Children's Hospital Gala, a remarkable evening that raised $1.7 million. It was our utmost pleasure to decorate the Hyatt Regency Convention Center Ballroom for 1,400 guests in collaboration with Eclectic Hive. 

The theme for the evening was "Transforming Children's Health," chosen my co-chairs Molly Broeren and Bill Mosher to pay tribute to the incredible care that many ill children have received at Children's Hospital. 

We wanted to tell the story of "transformation" by showing flow and subtle movement in all of the arrangements. Molly had an incredible eye for style and wanted very simple, clean looks everywhere. Taking her cue, we designed each piece as an individual sculpture. The callas all flow and curve together forming a helix, the tulips all arc in unison over a "hollow" vase, and white nerine lilies literally flow through the round glass orbs.

Hast off to The Denver Post for their amazing coverage of the event, which included this shot of the entrance, captured by Chad Chisholm. How amazing are Eclectic Hive's fringe walls and uplit hedge walls? 

And here are just some of the many details of the evening, thanks to Jensen Sutta Photography.
