The Greens

Surrounded by camellia trees, the promenade area was redone as a garden space, reminiscent of Jean Cocteau's classic La Belle et la Bête. The room highlighted Chanel's fine jewelry collection alongside flowers that shone with diamonds.

GBK hosted a lounge including gifts and services on Friday and Saturday at the L’Ermitage Hotel in Beverly Hills.

An over-size picnic table continued the warm-weather motif and provided a creative setting for the brand to showcase the brightly colored tableware in the Sandra by Sandra Lee collection.

Real tree branches and miniature faux tree centerpieces were part of the garden motif.

AFR Event Furnishings' Green Grass line includes sofas, benches, and a bar covered in artificial turf. The pieces make an eye-catching display for outdoor events.

The backdrop for the green-colored red-carpet arrivals area was a vertical living garden, which the organizers have created at previous iterations of the auction. This year, for the first time, the press wall incorporated found branches alongside palm fronds, moss elephant ears, phalaenopsis, air ferns, clovers, cabbage, Boston ferns, pitcher plants, staghorn ferns, asparagus ferns, busy ivy, English ivy, and lemon leaf. Many of the plants were replanted after the event.

For additional seating, plush velvet couches lined both sides of the cocktail area. Candles and small plants decorated the tops of the mirrored tables.

Long, communal tables and lounge-like configurations provided more relaxed seating on the upper level. For centerpieces, the designer incorporated square-shaped canopies, illuminated by candles that hung from the leaves in glass cylinders. Gift bags from sponsor Cartier were placed on guest's seats prior to the start of the event.

The "Shogun-Era Japan Circa 1600" area had a garden of oversize Bonsai trees.

Guests of the first Camp Groupon weekend stayed at the Swissôtel Chicago from July 6-8. Kehoe Designs spruced the venue up with thematic decor including lifesavers, boat paddles, and bundled logs.
