A candlelit oasis greeted those attending the 54th annual Ball of Roses at the Country Club of Birmingham.
The Ballet Guild of Birmingham hosted the event May 31.
Designed by Carole Sullivan of Lagniappe Designs, the decorations included large displays of cream roses, white hydrangeas and greenery illuminated by the soft glow of the candles. The ceiling of the East Room and 16 columns were draped with sheer and silver drapery installed by A.G. Lighting.
The evening began with a performance from “Raymonda” by a dancer from the Alabama Ballet. The performance was followed by the presentation of the 2014 Ball of Roses presentees to the Men’s Committee.
A seated dinner for the private patrons of the Ballet Guild of Birmingham was held after the presentation ceremony.
Mary Bradley Anderson was the 2014 Ball of Roses chairman. Sarah Norville Peinhardt co-chaired the event.
Those attending the 54th annual event included Kathy and Frank Anderson, Grace and Bob Bentley, Sue Ann Cole Burt, Helen and Reeves Crabtree, Lindsey and Patrick Druhan, Ellen and Stephen Faust, Mary and Victor Handson, Heyward C. Hosch III, Mary Margaret and Jeffrey Hendry, Katherine and John Kettig, Sheard and Thomas McCulley, Jane and Don Menendez, Garland and Lathrop Smith, Ashelynn and Andrew Smith, Pamela and Read Voigt and Rita and Drew Wright.
