A Corporate Gala That Radiated Purpose and Power

Hosted as part of the Living Luxe Design Show, this gala wasn’t just an evening of glamour—it was a celebration of generosity and creativity, united under one purpose: raising funds for SickKids. Our vision was to create a visually arresting environment that balanced high fashion, luxury, and community.

Design Theme: Red, Bold, and Unapologetically Luxe

We leaned into the Red Affair theme with full force—creating an environment that felt immersive, theatrical, and unapologetically high-impact. From the floral arrangements to the velvet drapes and sculptural chandeliers, every detail was drenched in red.

Key Elements:

  • Floor-to-ceiling red velvet draping

  • Dozens of lush red rose floral arrangements

  • Custom-built pillars to anchor the stage design

  • Signature lamp-shade crystal candelabras at every table

  • Elevated entrance archways adorned with cascading blooms

A Stage Set for Impact

The stage was a focal point, featuring:

  • A sculptural arrangement of white architectural pillars wrapped in roses

  • Dramatic floral climbs leading to the podium

  • A spotlight-ready layout for performers and speakers

This elevated platform served not only as a visual anchor but also a symbol of the cause—structure meeting soul.

Tablescapes That Sparked Conversation

Every guest table was designed with intent:

  • Monochrome red linens and seating

  • Gold accent chairs to add dimension and luxury

  • Candlelit ambience with tall and short candelabra clusters

  • Tight rose centerpieces in modern vessels for maximum visual density

This wasn’t just a dinner—it was a dining experience, designed to awe, inspire, and connect.

The Corporate Message in the Medium

Corporate event design isn't just about decor—it's about communication through environment. With this event, Ethereal Creators helped reinforce:

  • The power of collaboration across industries

  • The boldness of philanthropy

  • The ability to create emotional resonance through design

Our red concept wasn’t just a color choice—it was a statement.
