HBO held its Golden Globes after-party January 6 at the Beverly Hilton’s Circa 55 restaurant and Aqua Star Pool. The network's Cindy Tenner and Ashley Covarrubias worked with longtime collaborator Billy Butchkavitz and his brother, Brian Butchkavitz, to create a late 1950s/early 1960s-inspired space that used a white and chartreuse color scheme. Monochromatic floral arrangements, from green parrot tulips to green amaryllis, completed the look.
The 20th annual Warner Bros. and InStyle party, sponsored by Cadillac and L’Oréal Paris, took place at the Beverly Hilton’s Oasis Courtyard. The event, which was produced and designed by JOWY Productions, showcased gold details that included a grouping of "golden globes" that hung above the bar area.
Held at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York in May, the annual benefit was designed by David Stark Design and Production and featured a cocktail area with a forest-like setting. Fabricated trees hid the venue’s structural columns, while the “leaves” were created using fabric canopies suspended by cable.
Earlier in June, Toronto’s Power Plant Contemporary Art Gallery hosted Power Ball XIX: Stereo Vision, which was designed by Candice&Alison. At the benefit, guests nibbled from a wall of edible marshmallows by Archimallows. More than 8,000 treats were individually attached to the wall using skewers; the gradient-colored marshmallows tasted like peach.
As guests checked in at the dinner event, they were asked to answer a simple question about their childhood, such as what they were most scared of or what they wanted to be when they grew up. They then placed their rolled-up answers in the wall, replacing a piece of paper that gave the same answer of a child in another country. The backdrop idea symbolized the 16,000 children who die every day of preventable causes. The event took place at the Castle at Park Plaza in Boston in June.
The annual gala held at the Pérez Art Museum Miami in April featured a fresh dining setup of white florals and greenery atop mirrored tables.
The Los Angeles Ballet’s annual gala, which was held in April at the Beverly Wilshire hotel, raised nearly $1 million and featured towering centerpieces with florals in purple and pink hues.
Guests indulged in drinks and passed hors d'oeuvres in the opulent Red Lacquer room of the Palmer House Hilton in Chicago at the Joffrey Ballet's gala in April. Bunches of tulips were used to create an interesting floral arrangement backdrop for the bar.
