The Ontario Science Centre hosted its fund-raiser, the LG Innovators' Ball, in late October. In honor of the new exhibition “Beyond Planet Earth: The Future of Space Exploration,” the sixth annual gala had a retro "Fly Me to the Moon" theme, designed by McNabb Roick Events. In the dining room, retro rocket ships acted as centerpieces with red and orange flowers standing in as a "flame" at the base.
The Lyric Opera of Chicago kicked off its 58th season with a performance of Richard Strauss’s Elektra on October 6. Following the performance, the Opera Ball was held at the Radisson Blu Aqua Hotel, where the moody decor by Heffernan Morgan Designs included towering arrangements of berry-covered branches.
The Knock Out Abuse gala held at the Ritz-Carlton in Washington had a Moulin Rouge theme, designed by Events by Andre Wells. Amaryllis topped dinner tables covered in black-sequined linens with centerpieces of black plumes and deep red roses.
