The fall gala season is nearing its end, and innovative centerpieces were the focus of the season’s most eye-catching tables. While some tabletops displayed unique, theme-specific centerpiece designs (take a look at the miniature rocket ships from the LG Innovators’ Ball), some similarities connected decor across the U.S. and Canada. This season, trends included sleek, minimalist designs, dark and moody atmospheres, lots of greenery, and liberal use of candelabras.
