LPF Had a Ball with Ancillae Assumpta Academy

This past Saturday evening, La Petite Fleur supported Ancillae Assumpta Academy’s annual Blue and White Ball at the Ballroom at the Ben in Philadelphia. This year, the event benefited the Wyncote school’s Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) Lab, which is currently under construction.

Using school colors (blue and white, of course) and the STEM lab’s curriculum, which includes LEGO robotics, as inspiration, the LPF design team constructed centerpieces that merged education with elegance.

Playing off the science aspect, we designed table décor that utilized an abundance of clean-line glassware. Several of the centerpieces included tall cylinders that showcased custom-designed wraps featuring the words Science, Technology, Engineering and Math. Suspended above these wraps in the top third of the cylinders were intricate LEGO Bionicle sculptures and K’nex pieces. To complement the rigidity of the cylinder pieces, bubble bowls filled with blue water, loops of grass and a white Gerbera were nestled at each base.

Alternating tables featured tall cylinders with the custom wrap, blue water and streams of white cymbidium orchids. Completing this high-minded look was a set of five beaker-like bud vases with orchids and tall grass.

Overall, for the La Petite Fleur team, discovering how to work this theme into a fun, yet sophisticated, concept was as cool as school!

What a blast! And we’re not talking snow!

The La Petite Fleur team has been busy this valentine’s weekend– helping men and women alike select the finest of gifts for their betrothed.

Love is certainly in the air and La Petite Fleur has loved taking it all in with all of you! Happy Valentine’s Day!

Yours truly,
