Last summer, I attended a fancy beach party in a private, secluded location. Along with offering incredible food prepared on-site and a host of games and activities for the kids, a local company gifted personal, handmade Flower Crowns crafted on-site. While this was not my first experience with flower crowns, I was impressed with how easy they are to make with little to no experience. Earlier this week, we celebrated the home entertainment release of Disney’s A Wrinkle In Time with a Garden Party at the Huntington Library. The garden setting was perfect for enjoying afternoon tea, crafting, and pampering thanks to Disney, beGlammed, and The Huntington Library. Flower Duet LA was also on-site to help us put together gorgeous, DIY Flower Crowns!
A Wrinkle In Time
A Wrinkle in Time follows the story of a young girl’s transformative journey, led by three celestial guides. Based on author Madeleine L’Engle’s timeless classic, audiences journey across the dimensions of time and space to examine the nature of darkness versus light and the triumph of love.
Thirteen-year-old Meg Murry is a typical middle school student struggling to fit in and adjust to life after her father, a well-renowned scientist, mysteriously disappeared. Both Meg and her mother believe he solved the question of humanity’s existence and was teleported to another world. Her brother, Charles Wallace, who is also uniquely gifted like Meg, introduces her and her classmate Calvin to three celestial beings, Mrs. Which, Mrs. Whatsit, and Mrs Who. The three beings have traveled to Earth to help search for their father. Travelling via a wrinkling of time and space known as tessering, they are transported to worlds beyond their imagination where they must confront a powerful, evil force. To make it back home to Earth, Meg must fact the darkness within herself to harness the strength necessary to defeat the force rapidly enveloping the Universe.
A Wrinkle in Time stars Oprah Winfrey, Reese Witherspoon, Mindy Kaling, Storm Reid, and Chris Pine and is now available on DVD, Blu-ray, and Movies Anywhere.
A Wrinkle In Time Garden Party
During our Garden Party at The Huntington Library, beGlammed provided hair styling and makeup touch-ups. The on-demand beauty service delivers professional hairstylists and makeup artists to your home or event site including work office, hotel, or other locations. My daughter and I opted for braid updos to coordinate with our DIY Flower Crowns.
