Green Inaugural Ball
Fox Ventures created custom furniture from recycled materials including pallet ottomans, as well as paper flowers. In another eco-minded touch, the event used LED candles and soy-based candles. "It's not just a ball to get dressed up at every four years, but there's a goal to the ball. The goal was to show you can have a fabulous event without being wasteful," said event designer Katie Martin, C.E.O. of Elegance & Simplicity.
