The New York Botanical Garden's annual Orchid Dinner took place at the Mandarin Oriental at Columbus Circle on February 10. In keeping with tradition, the evening featured large-scale orchid installations on its tabletops. One such arrangement, designed by Bowman Dahl Floral & Event Design, combined deep pink orchids with moss, twigs, and small white accent flowers.Â
Another arrangement featured white orchids in glass terrarium-like vessels with earthy accents of ferns and dirt. The designer was Ray Booth of McAlpine Booth & Ferrier Interiors.
A particularly colorful display saw orchids sprouting out of paint cans, and linens had painterly designs. Roric Tobin designed the table for the high-end interior design firm Geoffrey Bradfield.
A lace runner topped the feminine table, where lace also covered chairs in varying styles and flowers included surprising and romantic choices such as jasmine buds.
