La Tavola Fine Linen Rental hosted its new collection release party at the Lombardi House in Los Angeles in April. There, the linen company joined with decor and design partners Found Vintage Rentals, Casa de Perrin, and Louloudi Design, which created the florals that complemented a dramatic ombre look at a long table.

At Be Inspired's "Tassels & Tastemakers" event, flowers from the Hidden Garden decorated a lounge and hanging dessert display designed by A Good Affair.

In March, Russell Harris Event Group produced a Fox party to celebrate the 100th episode of New Girl. Squat arrangements of monochromatic yellow blooms popped against tabletops.

At Rachel Zoe's Zoeasis party in Palm Springs, California, during Coachella's first weekend in April, oversize desert flowers in bright hues topped bars and other surfaces in the open-air party space.

For an event known as the Retreat at Palm Springs' Korakia Pensione during Coachella's first weekend, a long rustic table was set with bohemian touches like blooms in metallic vases topping trays.

At a press preview for the Sugar Paper and Target office collection at the Annenberg Community Beach House in Los Angeles in April, the brands showed off new products in a feminine space decorated with pastel spring blooms in simple glass vessels.

The British Academy of Film and Television Arts Los Angeles hosted its annual Bafta Los Angeles TV Tea at the SLS Hotel during Emmy weekend this year, honoring nominees from America and Europe. At the event, tea kettles in the shape of red phone booths held floral arrangements.

The Starlight Children's Foundation hosted its Starlight Gala, sponsored by Toys “R” Us, at Toronto's Fairmont Royal York Hotel earlier this year. With the goal of raising money for sick or injured children, organizers created a whimsical bash filled with circus-inspired ideas. To that end, fluffy white flowers spilled out of striped containers that were shaped like classic popcorn boxes.

In 2011, New Balance took over New York's 620 Loft & Garden for a launch that saw producer MKG use shoes instead of vases as a tongue-and-cheek way to hold floral arrangements.

Meredith Waga Perez of New York's Belle Fleur said she can't wait to get her hands on "those Japanese sweet pea flowers in all those incredible colors" this fall.

“I thought the root system of the haworthia (pictured, right) looked dramatic, especially because the succulent itself has a harder texture, so it was important to show both sides,” says Matthew Schechter, event and creative director of Interior Foliage Design in Long Island City, New York.

“A change of season is always inspiring,” says Karen Amit of Among the Wildflowers. "This fall, I’m excited to create with autumn-toned garden roses, hops on a vine, antique lace hydrangea, luscious dahlias, rose hips, echinacea pods, fruiting branches, edible herbs, and fall foliage."

“This fall we are using more plants and mixed containers to create lush, complex tablescapes “ says Flora Fauna’s Judy Bourgeois, who is also mixing vintage and modern vessels for presentation. She says her team is using more live plants, especially air plants and cacti, which “offer unique shapes, varieties, and colors," and are an ecologically sound choice as well.

"This fall, I'm incorporating a variety of metals to accent the warmth of the fall colors,” says Krissy Price of Pollen Floral Design. "A copper urn filled with creams dahlias, pink garden roses, and burgundy foliage looks lovely on a reclaimed wood table. I love working with a color palette that nods to fall, but isn't overly ostentatious. This year, I'm loving a palette of cream, peach, tomato red, and burgundy. It creates a mood that evokes fall, but doesn't need a pumpkin or a gourd to do it."

Extending the green theme of the Spotify House, Austin-based Articulture Designs created a musical living wall, embedding air plants and greenery in speakers and instruments that were mounted on the wall.
