Wednesday night was the Lenox Hill Neighborhood House Gala at Cipriani in New York and I was lucky enough to help out the incredibly talented design firm, Kapito Muller, on their table. For this annual event, some of the top interior design firms in New York are each asked to design a table, and then tickets are sold for the event and the proceeds are given to the organization. We had the freedom to design our table however we liked, but the general suggested theme was Adam & Eve's garden.
Our first stop on Wednesday morning was the Chelsea flower district on 28th street. There, we picked up varying shades of pink ranunculus.
We packed up the flowers and brought them to Cipriani on 42nd street. When we arrived, the other designers were at varying stages in their table decorating process: some had only just begun and other tables looked nearly finished.
For our table, we opted for a pink and green color scheme. We used an Allegra Hicks printed fabric for the table cloth and beautiful sea moss green Anna Weatherly dishes trimmed in geometric gold. The flatware was tortoise Bunny Williams for Ballard and the candlesticks were Stephen Antonson.
Finally, each seat had a Hayley Sarno illustrated menu, Frette napkin, and individually wrapped Ladureé macaroon. The bust in the middle is a nod to the theme and we arranged the flowers in bunches at varying levels surrounding the bust.
The other tables were gorgeous as well. Below are a few of my favorites.
I wore a Giambattista Valli dress and jacket with Zara heels.

The event was lovely and certainly one I wish to attend again & perhaps in the future design my own table!
