Design Inspiration: 10 Lush Tables From the Orchid Dinner

Tables at the New York Botanical Garden's Orchid Dinner

James Rixner fashioned a lush pink and purple tree out of long strands of orchids, similar to leis.

Rod Winterrowd's accessory-heavy setting had a blue and white checked tablecloth and Danish-inspired ceramics and dishes.

Philip Gorrivan placed orchids in pots and under glass jars, creating a greenhouse look.

Michael Walter's design for Lexington Gardens got an earthy look from a moss-covered orchid tree that appeared to extend its roots over the edge of the table.

Timothy Whealon's table for Baccarat was festive, with a colorful striped linen and a tall orchid sculpture set on a cube of grass.

In addition to orchids, Sara Story Design's table incorporated masks and tiger figurines, perhaps as a nod to 2010 being the Chinese year of the tiger.

A centerpiece of orchids in chunky blue and green vases served as a centerpiece at Rinfret Ltd. and Glorimundi Floral's table. Surrounding the vases were small, low arrangements of flowers, candles, and peacock feathers.

Lewis Miller Design contrasted a bold turquoise tablecloth with fuchsia orchids arranged in a large metal container.

At Stephen Elrod and Rob Stanford's table for Lee Jofa, colorful dishes in contrasting patterns added to the garden setting.

A white fur overlay added a luxurious touch to Carrier and Company's setting for Williams Sonoma Home.
