SWOON WORTHY LENOX HILL TABLESETTINGS

Thank goodness for April flowers after all these spring showers. I adore creative table designs, especially when the theme is this soigne. "Your The Tops," the theme for this year's Lenox Hill Neighborhood House benefit at Cipriani 42nd Street was over the top, with gorgeous flowers and table settings to swoon over. Beautiful tables created by creme de la creme interior designers and creatives was sponsored by Rolex and honored past president of the board, Elizabeth Rohaytn. Cole Porter would have loved it.

Lindsey Harper created Harper's Bazaar in a riot of orange, hot pink and green. Buddha gazed down at the revelers.

Lindsey had napkins embroidered for the occasion by Julia B. Gifts were animal luggage tags from John Robshaw.

Dennis Rolland looked to "Your Mambo Escargot" for inspiration, and included masses of tulips and a tablecloth of Scalamandre fabric.

Libby Cameron did "Fireworks" in ultra festive red, white and blue with her fabrics from Sister Parish Design.

Elizabeth Pyne for McMillen and her "A Thrill Divine!" with divine flowers by Botanica and Stark fabrics.

Lynde Easterlin got derby ready with "The Time of The Triple Crown Winner!"

Ralph Lauren and Two's Company accessories looked snappy with racing colors and low arrangements of ferns.

Jonathan Berger with "A La Cime de L'Arbre" created a tablecloth with fabric from Alan Campbell at Quadrille.

Chocolate brown with icy blue looks wonderful.

Eddie Ross for Carleton V and "Growing Wild" with spring florals and striped brights.

Ashley had Jansen chairs upholstered in Quadrille's Zig Zag to coordinating with the ferns.

Daniel Robers did "Stairway to the Top" with Donghia fabrics.

The soft greens and mauve flowers were stunning against the mercury glass vases.

David Duncan's table with daffodil yellow and black was inspired by 40’s French designer Serge Roche and mixed in antiques and decorative accessories from his shop.

Chestnuts in the Tuilleries channeled tap legend Fred Astaire.

A crane held court in the center of their table, and peacock feathers graced the table cloth.

Spring flowers played off the natural handmade tabletop pieces.

The oceanic tablescape has to be our favorite! The piece of coral used in the centerpiece is so unique, and the blue crystal glassware really compliments the overall theme. All of these table designs are gorgeous, but this one has to be our favorite!
