How a Two-Foot Floral Soccer Ball Stole the Show at a World Cup Brand Event in West Hollywood
United States – July 16, 2026 / Flower Gypsies /
LOS ANGELES, CA – July 16, 2026 – Flower Gypsies, the Los Angeles luxury event florist trusted by major brands and Fortune 500 companies, has completed a high-profile floral commission for Unilever’s FIFA World Cup 2026 activation at The West Hollywood EDITION hotel. The team designed and produced bespoke floral arrangements throughout the event space, alongside the standout piece: a custom two-foot soccer ball crafted entirely from fresh flowers.
A Landmark Summer for Los Angeles
The commission arrives at a landmark moment for the city, one of the host cities for the FIFA World Cup 2026. As an official sponsor of the tournament, Unilever is activating more than 35 of its personal care brands, including Dove and Degree, across North America.
For its West Hollywood event, held on June 23, 2026, the brand turned to Flower Gypsies to deliver floral design that could match the energy of the world’s biggest sporting event, from elegant arrangements to a fully sculptural centerpiece.
“When a global brand brings the World Cup to Los Angeles, the design has to rise to the occasion,” says Gabby LaRussa, owner and lead designer of Flower Gypsies. “Our team loved the challenge of translating the spirit of the tournament into flowers. The two-foot soccer ball became the piece everyone gathered around, and that is exactly what great event florals should do.”
What Flower Gypsies Delivered
For the Unilever activation, the Flower Gypsies team produced:
A custom two-foot soccer ball sculpted from fresh flowers, designed as the visual centerpiece of the event
Bespoke floral arrangements styled to complement the venue and the campaign
Full on-site installation at The West Hollywood EDITION, one of the city’s luxury hotels
Sculptural floral pieces of this kind sit at the heart of the studio’s custom installations work, where flowers are engineered into three-dimensional forms that become the photographed moment of an event. From branded photo moments to large-scale suspended pieces, these commissions are designed to perform both in the room and across social media.
