Strands of LladrĂł porcelain disks hung from white branches laced with orchids at the elegant setting created by Ernest de la Torre. (Flower-shaped porcelain votives nested around the base of the centerpiece.)
A 12-foot-high orchid-covered structure designed by Renny & Reed for Mario Nievera Design featured 1,000 flowers.
Amanda Nisbet Design stuffed orchids in a towering Lucite pagoda, which had glittery candles within the base.
More Asian influences appeared at Tiffany & Company’s table, where Robert Ruffino hung white paper lanterns from bamboo posts.
LMD Floral Events Interiors positioned a Grecian bust from Fleur on a hedgelike cube covered with boxwood. Orchids appeared in the enormous wreath that surrounded the sculpture.
Classically shaped black urns surrounded a reclining-nude terracotta statue at the Ralph Lauren Home display.
Guests arriving at the gala found their place cards on David Beahm’s entry table. Beahm used sponsor Larson Juhl’s golden frames as vases and worked in the company’s framed mirrors and new Artaissance line of orchid prints.
Perhaps as an early wish for spring, Philip Gorrivan designed a four-foot-high maypole strung with festively colored ribbons.
Dylan Lauren of Dylan’s Candy Bar mixed sweet-smelling orchids with multicolored candies inside tall vases filled with more treats.
