PINK EVENTS

Matching the theme and the gobo lights shining on the walls of the space, illuminated bracelets that read "Dream" served as napkin holders at each place setting.

Held at the Waldorf-Astoria, as it has been for many years, the Breast Cancer Research Foundation's Hot Pink Party filled the storied hotel's ballroom with its namesake hue. This year the April 30 fund-raiser saw more than 1,200 guests and paid tribute to the organization's founder Evelyn Lauder with the theme, "My Fair Evelyn's Dream." As part of this, the planning team and decor consultant Monroe Alechman incorporated the word "dream" into the evening's design, with gobos illuminating the walls of the dinner space.
