Dining tables reflect our chartruese and plum color palette with tipped hand tied bouquets of Green Goddess Callas, Garden Roses, Spray Roses, Scented Geranium, Scabiosa, Hydrangea and more. Golden flickering candles and scattered petals soften the glass collections and layer the decor on the table itself. Plum uplighting further enhances the room, adding splashes of color to the white on white Griffin Court decor. Debi Lilly, aperfectevent.com

The architecture of Renzo Piano is so dramatic and stunning. The Pritkzer Gardem is the backdrop for cocktails once guests have wandered through The Impressionism Galleries, moving into the new wing. Debi Lilly, aperfectevent.com

Ahhhhh… The ARTrageous Celebration at The Art Institute is in full swing. Guests are beginning to arrive at The Grand Staircase, and are greeted by the tablecard table adorned with woven swiss silk ribbons, museum frames displayed with a trio of colored calligraphied tablecards "popping" through, and a tipped bouquet hydrangea collection for a focal point. C’est magnifique! Debi Lilly, aperfectevent.com
