Outdoor Decor

The V.I.P. event, held at Los Angeles Center Studios in August, was designed to showcase Cort rental options to local event and trade show professionals. "[We wanted to] channel a cool Los Angeles feel for the attendees," said Kevin Dana, executive director of marketing and product development at Cort.

Perfect Surroundings Inc. created the main event space, where large reproductions of street art were printed as backdrops to Cort furniture vignettes.

In another area designed by Perfect Surroundings, hanging fruit was painted with a drip technique, aiming to mimic the freestyle form of street art.

Finalist Zoe Productions created a California bungalow-inspired design that featured a custom cocktail.

Overall, the garden party felt seasonal and aspirational.

CasaBubble rents inflatable, modular spheres for events. Envisioned by French designers Frédéric Richard and Pierre-Stéphane Dumas, the transparent, pressurized bubbles can be used as V.I.P. areas, pop-up shops, dining spaces, and more in outdoor environments. There are five different models and the structures come with a wooden floor. Solar cells and battery equipment are also available.

The teepee-style tents can hold as many as 400 people.

Inflate USA's line of inflatable structures for events includes more than 30 different sizes and shapes, such as the Luna, designed to act as a portable bar area, and the Trident, a massive tent structure designed for concerts and expos that can be set up in less than five hours. The structures, which cost from $800 to more than $5,000 to rent, are all fully brandable.

In 2013, Hermès hosted its whimsical “Les Jeux d’Hermès,” or Hermès games, in Palm Beach, where an area within the tented party space was transformed into a croquet field with eye-catching chandelier, colorful flags, and cabana seating decked with the brand's iconic silk scarves.
