In 2009, the Chicago museum hosted a blue-hued event to celebrate its diamonds exhibition. To underscore the theme, Frost created a video of falling diamonds that measured 50 by 660 feet.
In June, Event Creative gave the summery gala a blue-and-white decor scheme. Bunches of pale blue hydrangeas decorated the dinner tables.
Inspired by the ceramics of South African artist Ruan Hoffmann and murals by Rebecca Rebouche, interior designer Alexis Givens created a moonlight feast setting for Anthropologie at Diffa's Dining by Design event in March. The ceiling covering was made from bright blue-painted recycled plastic bottles, and pink flowers decked the tables.
In 2010, Modern Luxury Brides magazine hosted a showcase at the Ritz-Carlton, Chicago. The cover of the then-current issue—which showcased pink and peach tones, tulle, and chiffon—inspired the look of the cocktail area. A photo of the Eros statue in London decorated the bar. HMR Designs handled decor.
