Pantone 2014 Color of the Year: Radiant Orchid

Guests got into the spring break theme by cooling off in the party's on-site pool.

Pink lighting filled the grand ballroom of the hotel.

#11 Benefit
In 2012, the Breast Cancer Research Foundation’s Boston Hot Pink Party moved to new venue, the Intercontinental Boston, with 400 guests including Senator John Kerry and Teresa Heinz. Next: May 8, 2013

The party tent held 20 V.I.P. cabanas for the movie's giant  cast.

A translucent pink divider separated the V.I.P. dining section from the rest of the reception.

In Style chose to dress the Courtyard Café in pink lighting and orchids for this year's cocktail party.

Taking full advantage of the building's large, high-resolution video wall—at 120 feet, one of the longest indoors—the production team created a kaleidoscope of pink graphics that played throughout the night.

JBL Floral separated the evening's cocktail area from the reception space with a row of areca palms.

Design Cuisine served a Maryland crab, shrimp, scallop, and new pumpkin vertical salad with organic micro greens and a pumpkin seed vinaigrette for the first course.

Flower arrangements spelling the word dream decorated the entrance to the ballroom.

Passed hors d'oeuvres from La Basque were served on trays lined with pink candies.

Guests entered the after-party through a pink-lit walkway with an illuminated pink sign bearing the event's name.

The Breast Cancer Research Foundation's Hot Pink Party once again took over New York's Waldorf-Astoria. The April 17 benefit, which raised more than $5.2 million, took on the theme "¡Viva Fiesta!" Miniature bright-colored donkey piñatas from Oriental Trading party supplies were suspended from clear balloons in the Silver Corridor, which lead guests into the Grand Ballroom for the main event.

Purple, pink, and gold uplighting from Atmosphere Lighting accented the decor at the museum.

Guests picked up signature drinks such as Barbie Doll-icious, Ken's Caiprirosca, Strawberry Blonde, and It's a Pink Thing from an alfresco bar.

The venue featured views of the Malibu coast.

In addition to the savory breakfast bites, the brunch featured pink frosted cupcakes from the Little Cupcake Bakeshop.

The preshow dinner reception was held inside BAM’s Lepercq Space, which Fleurs Bella gussied up with a bedazzled, campy, Anna Nicole-worthy display of crystals, disco balls, marabou, and animal prints.

Dinner tables were laden with costume jewelry, pink roses, and feathers. At their seats, guests found a hot pink gift box filled with a few of Anna Nicole’s favorite things, such as barbecue sauce, chocolate hearts, and lip gloss.

The tent was bathed in a purple geometric light pattern.

The purple theme continued to the linens, napkins, and seat cushions.

The party's pink and purple color scheme extended upstairs to the dinner for 105 guests.

Purple and gold lighting in the dining room helped to create an otherworldly glow.

An ice curtain with purple flowers divided the reception and dining areas at the event.

The "edgy" boutique room featured a 30-foot-long mirrored Mylar weblike backdrop, and a black wall with long fluorescent tube lights that emitted a purple glow. Black leather furnishings anchored the space and matched a black and white graphic rug and a red egg chair.

Purple orchids, candles, and Bourgie table lamps, designed by Ferruccio Laviani for Kartell, topped tables in the dining room.

A Vista lit the Kogod Courtyard in pink and purple.

IEP provided pink and purple lighting to coordinate with the night's color scheme.

Purple candles in clear candleholders and purple orchid spheres atop vases filled with purple-hued water adorned tall long purple communal bar tables with mirrored tops.

In the three dining rooms on the center's upper level, floral arrangements of pink roses, fuchsia peonies, and lilacs in square silver boxes and tall cylindrical glass vases lent a romantic air.

A candy bar held pink-and-purple goodies. Ribbons on the jumbo lollipops were branded with the eDrop-Off logo, as were plastic candy bags.

A pair of lavish parties kept the energy high at Roth Capital Partners' 23rd annual O.C. Conference.

Chandeliers encased in Lucite made for eye-catching high-top tables in the bar area.

Fields of tall grasses and purple flowers captured some of the series' more memorable moments.

One area of the party space was meant to emulate the school dance scene from an earlier installment of the series.

The tabletop floral arrangements included rich purple and lilac hues, towering vases, glass candelabra, and intertwining vines.

As they stepped out of the elevator and into the party space, guests saw a cluster of hanging paper lanterns echoing the ones outside the venue.

Organic-looking walnut coffee tables displayed copies of Travel & Leisure's World's Best issue as well as bowls of homemade potato chips.

“This party was so much fun. Now, you’ve heard the Plaza’s Oak Room closed down because of the boozy brunches. Well, we threw the booziest brunch of all. It started at 11 in the morning and finished at seven o’clock at night. And I think I must have used 10,000 peonies in this room, all with black modern furniture."

"In the middle of each table I had an ice bucket, and had a continuing barrage of beautiful women coming, each of them carrying a magnum with a fire coming out the top, until all the ice buckets were full. That got the party going. We did two parties for her. I created a Roman orgy for her in Aspen two weeks ago. Now that’s a party.”

"I magically transformed the ballroom into an ode to Oprah. Working with shades of purple, lavender, and lilac, we did things on a rather grand scale. I changed all the shapes of the walls by giving them a serpentine pattern. We also did a beautiful reverse projected screen, so as you walked into the room you would read these incredible quotes of how Oprah has affected all these extraordinary people."
