Sandwiched between two iconic British telephone booths, the "GREAT" structure was made out of foam core. Guests were invited to fill in the blank on stickers that read,  "... is GREAT Britain," and then paste them to the block letters to create a sticker graffiti piece, a trending art form in the U.K.

A paper chandelier that hung over a bar featured cocktail recipes that guests could take home, as well as vintage photos of Great Britain and pages from British literature. At the bar beneath, London bartending collective Fluid Movement prepared drinks for guests incorporating Beefeater 24, a new version of the classic gin brand. Two of the collective's concepts, Worship Street Whistling Shop and Purl, performed cocktail-making demonstrations from behind Victorian-style bars.

A British flag was constructed out of 256 hanging blue, red, and white teacups. The wall on which they were arranged separated the Worship Street Whistling Shop bar and the Mad Hatter's Tea room, which offered tastes of the popular tea brand and small bites from Luna & Curious.

"The Edible Cityscapes" installation, a table featuring a display of landmarks from England, Scotland, and Wales made entirely out of sweets, was created by New York-based food designer Maeve Sheriden. The London Candy Company provided the confections which included Time Out bars, Jammy Dodgers, Cadbury Crunchie bars, and Digestive Biscuits. Other culinary offerings included tastes of Scotland from the West Village's Highlands Restaurant Group and cheese like Caerphilly, Collier's Cheddar, and Red Dragon from Wales.

Dinner at the California Science Center’s Discovery Ball, held in Los Angeles in March, took place underneath the wings of the Endeavour space shuttle. Reflecting the space theme, illuminated tables were topped with mini solar systems and tropical flowers in glass bowls.

At the 2009 awards reception for Commercial Real Estate Women, a national association representing women in the industry, fishbowls holding live goldfish were embedded into the bars, adding to the evening's aquatic theme.

To mark the 25th anniversary of Shark Week, Discovery hosted an event in August 2012 that put sharks in the pool of the Beverly Hilton. The scary fish weren't real, of course, but rather slowly moving projections devised by the planning and production team from Event Eleven.

The 2011 premiere party for WE TV's Braxton Family Values—a show about singer Toni Braxton—took place atop the London West Hollywood and featured a decidedly feminine look. To gussy up the central pool, florist C.J. Matsumoto covered foam spheres in bright pink flowers, then attached the arrangements to weights anchored to the bottom of the pool.

David Stark returned to create an installation for paint company Benjamin Moore. The entire room—from the floor to the chandeliers—was painted in a kaleidoscope of colors, and on the back wall, an LED screen looped a video montage of Stark's team designing the space from start to finish.

Balloons wrapped in Hermès silk scarf prints stood at the entrance to the Palm Beach event.

As part of the decor, event planners situated oversize Hermès enamel bracelets on the beach for an added touch of whimsy. Complementing the bracelets were items like an orange sorbet trunk in Hermès orange and Hula-Hoops wrapped in Hermès silk scarf prints.
