Truffleberry Market, a Chicago catering company, has plenty of pastel-hued dishes on its menu. For a recent baby shower, the firm used hollowed-out lemons to hold its Meyer lemon meringue panna cotta. A fresh green leaf on top of the dish added a springy, verdant feel.

Another lounge had an olive grove theme. To mimic the look of live olive trees, Hargrove created café tables with stainless steel trees sprouting from them. The trees were topped with translucent lampshades printed with an olive tree pattern. Contemporary furnishings and bright accents rounded out the look.

Macy's Spring Flower Show 2015 Chicago
The theme for the retailer's 2015 flower show is "Art in Bloom." In the Pop Art garden at the Chicago store, moss and plants spell out the words "bloom" and "flower" in comics-like signage. The show runs through April 14.

The Chicago Flower and Garden Show
Debi Lilly of A Perfect Event also designed a tabletop for the show. Lilly's inspiration was "the new, green Garden of Eden." Her installation used vintage cutlery and glassware and lush, springy floral arrangements. There were also individual flower-topped cakes on each place setting.
