Who designed the head table at the New York Botanical Garden's Orchid Dinner?

Cindy Rinfret and her good friend, Priscilla Schaefer of Glorimundi Floral, designed the head table for the New York Botanical Garden's Orchid Dinner at The Mandarin Oriental on February 9th.

The theme of this elegant dinner was Cuba in Flowers, but the table designers were encouraged to do whatever their creative hearts desired to make their tables sing. Cindy and Priscilla were in the good company of other notable designers, including David Easton, Tiffany & Co., and Stephen Elrod for Lee Jofa.

The head table, which Cindy and Priscilla had the honor of decorating, was the talk of the event.

You can see why, with place settings like this!

Yes, those placemats are made from PEACOCK feathers!

For more photos of the tables and all the glamorous people (including Cindy, who was wearing a deep blue shimmery dress, which all us Rinfret ladies are lining up to borrow) check out these links:
