Twice a year, the Dallas Museum of Art hosts an event called Art in Bloom. This is a fundraiser that hosts art and philanthropic enthusiasts alike. Cebolla Fine Flowers was proud to be the Floral Sponsor for the event, as the Floral Endowment Fund is something we are proud to contribute to.
An afternoon spent at the Dallas Museum of Art is sure to delight the most discerning of tastes, and we were honored to be apart of such a special day. If you haven’t already visited this grand Museum, you surely must. One could spend and entire day admiring the lavish displays of renowned Art pieces that grace it’s halls.
The Event began with a silent auction, where attendees could bid on floral pieces from shops around the Dallas metroplex, along with a stunning gown donated by the fabulous Hadleighs. Guests were also browsing amongst tables adorned with timeless jewelry pieces, and a delectable array of fine chocolates available for purchase.
Guests were then ushered into the Auditorium, and were greeted by the charming Danielle Rollins who’s creativity has graced the pages of Gracious Living & Stylish Entertaining. Her quick whited humor entertained guests as she so graciously shared some insider design tricks and secrets, all while assembling 7 floral pieces which were also available for auction once the seminar commenced. Be sure to reference her book, Soiree Entertaining with Style (Rizzoli 2012) next time you host a dinner party. Her style is effortlessly organic and glamourous.
Lunch began at noon, and as guests feasted on a delectable three course meal, amongst a fashion show provided by Hadleighs. Hadleighs collection was full of rich textures for fall and winter highlighting shades of blue. Tailored suits, fine wool hats, ultra feminine dresses, and designer shoes were showcased on the runway.
As the afternoon came to a close, guests mingled with friends, and partook in a live auction which included fine dining experiences at private estates, lavish trips across the states and abroad, and ornate jewelry. The affair was nothing short of an incredible success thanks to the expert planning of Chairman Barbara Durham and the entire committee comprised of Barbara Bingham, Beverly Freeman, Susan Fisk, and Emily Maduro. On behalf of Cebolla Fine Flowers, thank you for so graciously hosting such a memorable event.
