Butler’s Pantry joined forces with Fleurish for the third time to design an outstanding tabletop at the 2009 St. Louis Children’s Hospital Tabletop Event. This year’s event was held on April 21st at the Ritz-Carlton and raises more than $100,000 annually. This one-of-a-kind luncheon featured imaginative tabletop designs by more than 50 of St. Louis’ finest florists, decorators and vendors.
This year Butler’s Pantry was inspired by our newest venue, Palladium Saint Louis. This new venue is located downtown, near Lafayette Square, and draws its style from its mix of modern finishes and traditional architecture. The focal point of our table was a handmade lightbox topped with frosted plexiglass. Fleurish helped Butler’s Pantry to design floral arrangements of mini calla lilies, coffee break roses, and cymbidium and aranthera orchids. Placed in varied sizes of glass cylinders, these arrangements were laid out in concentric circle to mimic the logo of Palladium Saint Louis. The whole table glowed from within atop the lightbox.
Silver Bengaline tablecloths from BBJ Linen and stainless steel chairs created the framework for the outer rim of tables and reflected the silvery-white nature of the Palladium. Glass tiles in a cool green and metallic color scheme sat atop of the tablecloths and acted as modern placemats. Contemporary place settings were created with sleek, recti-linear chargers, along with flatware and glassware from Premier Party Rentals and The Aries Company. Each guest was given a glass gift box, adorned with a hand wired orchid and filled with silver jordan almonds as a keepsake.
Butler’s Pantry was proud to be a part of this great event to benefit St. Louis Children’s Hospital.
