Macy's Spring Flower Show 2015 Chicago

The theme for the retailer's 2015 flower show is "Art in Bloom." In the Pop Art garden at the Chicago store, moss and plants spell out the words "bloom" and "flower" in comics-like signage. The show runs through April 14.

Design team Monroe Alechman and Brian Avon created the theme and carried out the design of the event. Each dinner table featured a "fiestaware" pitcher filled with crepe paper chayo's flowers in bold colors. Alternating bright linens were provided by Cloth Connections, and, in addition to soft pink lighting, projections of the night's theme decorated the ballroom.
