From Russia with love

If the prestigious 5 star Ritz hotel, Villa Padierna, is good enough for the Obama family, it’s good enough for us – so on Thursday 16 September, we’ll be there to enjoy one of the most glam events on the coast this summer – with a touch of Russian spirit…

Flower power

The luxurious Villa Padierna, situated in the hills close to Benahavís, will resemble a fairytale palace as it hosts the 1st Marbella Flower Ball.

Fabulous floral compositions, will adorn the gorgeous 5 star hotel as well as as a number of familiar faces – from top celebrities, sports personalities and entrepreneurs to politicians and the créme de la créme of Russian high society gather together for a day to remember.

The ‘floral’ themed event was the brainchild of talented professional florist and designer, Tatiana Tridvornova. She has worked all over Europe, creating fabulous floral decorations and parades for high-brow events such as the G8 Summit in Germany, the popular ‘Musical Nights’ project in St-Tropez, the Millionaire Fair as well as gaining the Marcas le Lujo prize presented by the World Fashion Channel.

Have a ball

The event will be the first of its kind to take place in Marbella and will offer a similar ambience to the ‘Bal de Fleurs’ which has been hosted annually in Monaco since 2003.

Greeted by beautiful flower-clad girls, all guests will receive an exclusive keep-sake (floral bracelets for the ladies and boutonnieres for gentlemen), designed by Tatiana Tridvornova.

At 20:30, guests will then be shown to a special cocktail area in the magnificent Villa Padierna gardens, where a glass of champagne and black caviar will await.

Feast your eyes

Later in the day, over 400 guests will be seated in a special  outdoor dining area to indulge in an exquisite Gala Dinner, accompanied by a  programme of entertainment including music performed by a live band.

As the champagne flows and the scent of flowers fills the air in the evening, a fantastic flower-inspired firework display will woo the  crowds until the early hours, when a VIP after party will take place at one of Marbella’s most glitzy nightclubs.
