In 2011, Australia Week’s “G’Day USA” black-tie gala took over the Hollywood Palladium on January 22, marking the culmination of Australia Week's Los Angeles festivities. Decked in brownish-red hues, the decor had a palette based on the indigenous colors of Australia's natural environment.
Working with Time Inc.'s Cyd Wilson, Tony Schubert of Event Eleven designed and produced the Los Angeles affair for the fifth consecutive year in 2013. The event had an overall look and feel Schubert described as "romantic" and "rich," evocative of the Art Deco era. The color scheme incorporated plenty of wine-red hues.
Red velvet cakes and cupcakes are a perennially popular dessert—and provide a pretty close match to the Marsala shade. Many bakeries, including Georgetown Cupcake, serve the treat for meetings and events.
