Decor

To match the 'Inspire' theme, William Fulghum Design Associates decorated the ceiling with oversize Moooi chandeliers and paper flowers.

Grey lounge areas sat in the centre of the Artifacts Room.

The A.G.O.'s Walker Court popped with colour for the Picasso Gala. Prints of Picasso's "Portrait de Dora Maar" hung under the archways for the post-reception, but during the cocktail hour, live nudes posed for sketching artists in each alcove.

Bright yellow and green Victorian-inspired lounge furniture gave Walker Court a bold look. Cocktail tables and bars were topped with white orchids.

Lavender linens, pink chiavari chairs, and red cushions and plates kept with the colour palate. The decor was inspired by springtime in Paris.

Clear umbrellas and glittering beads hung from the ceiling in the spring area. The sound of falling rain played in the background.

On the other side of the lounge, chandeliers served as highboy tables and furniture hung from the ceiling.

Hundreds of balloons from Balloon Trix hung from the ceiling during the V.I.P. dinner. The space changed colour with each course, starting with blue, morphing to pink for the main course, changing to orange for dessert, and ending in red.

Heffernan Morgan Ronsley handled decor. Centerpieces were four-to-eight-feet-tall steel structures with Piet Mondrian-inspired panels in neon pink, amber, and peacock and royal blues.

Matthew Parker Events crafted lighting fixtures for a speakeasy-themed wedding using hats from a party supply store, decorative ribbon, corded wire, and filament bulbs.

For a wedding at the King Plow Event Gallery in Atlanta, Bold American Events & Catering designed an upside-down centerpiece of yellow tulips and glass globes that hung above the head table.

While all the rooms were meticulously planned, none was as popular as the space that housed old-school carnival claw games. Rather than plush toys and candy, the machines held small items, like lipsticks and jewelry, in Chanel gift bags.

For the first time, the V.I.P. area of Power Ball was outside, situated near the Natrel pond. Sponsored by Soho House and Grey Goose, the space was inspired by an English picnic and styled with rustic elements. Loading pallets acted as banquette seating and cocktail tables.
