Asia Society Gala: Toujours Table Decor!

Toujours Magazine was asked to create a designer table for this week's Asia Society Gala at the Plaza Hotel in New York.  Co-Founder Meghan Beierle-O'Brien and Art Director Dana Beierle worked tirelessly to put together the perfect table decor.  They decided on a youthful/feel and hung lit globes from a cherry blossom tree, filled tall cylinders with delicate orchids and fighter fish, lined the table with a Chinese inspired fuschia table runner, infused color, and used lots of glass and candles to create a shimmering table.  
It was an amazing night chaired by benefactors Betsy and Ed Cohen and Stephanie and John Foster.  And the Toujours table had the honor of hosting John Foster and his guests!  We were delighted to meet talented interior and clothing designers throughout the night.  And we will definitely be posting more photos of the event.  But first, here are some shots of the table!

A huge thank you to Penelope Dwyer of the Asia Society, who invited us to participate in the event!
