Tablescapes

Luxury online retailer Mytheresa.com hosted an intimate dinner in Los Angeles in June. With the dramatic Lautner-designed Goldstein residence as the backdrop, guests dined on a meal prepared by Kris Morningstar at a table clothed simply in white and lit by a row of taper candles.

The Hammer Museum in Los Angeles hosts its annual "Gala in the Garden" each year with tightly curated decor. In 2010, the look included tabletops clad in green linen napkins and white pillar candles for an earthy, fuss-free air.

Red threads also appeared on the edges of a communal table designed by Perkins & Will and the Ruder Group. Like many of this year's tabletop settings, the design had a natural look. The table had no linens and was topped with succulents and white taper candles. Small sprigs of greenery were tied onto white napkins with twine, and a furry throw added texture to the seats.

“I am loving all the fun juxtaposition I am seeing in both weddings and corporate events—soft florals in an industrial space; bright pops of color in a stark, white space; inviting, squashy sofas and arm chairs outdoors on the grass or the sand. Seeing these visuals whets an appetite for the unexpected and adds an element of excitement and adventure,” says Harrison.

Flower arrangements included lime and cucumber slices lining the walls of glass vessels.

Mini versions of the surfboard-style award also sprung from tropical floral arrangements.
