In a city of beautiful parties, this is one of the most beautiful. And fun. As a board member of the Horticultural Society of New York and a chair of this party, I am biased of course. But don’t take my word for it, look:
By Jodi Zimmerman Designs. Love me some pink.
The theme this year was “Couture en Fleur.” We wanted “Hort Couture,” but it was already taken for I can’t remember what. Anyway you get the idea. Honorees were Lee Anderson of Lee Anderson Couture, jewelry designer James Taffin de Givenchy, and Jack Rogers of Navajo sandal fame.
I missed the designer of this fab lady in red. Hope someone will let me know so I can credit her/him.
Renny & Reed, whom I’ve written about before, are always an absolute dream. This table was amazing.
Cute German photographer Andre Maier for Renny & Reed. Couldn’t help myself.
Kudos to ALARIC Flower Design for this gravity-defying fantastically creative table as well:
More tomorrow. Didn’t want to overwhelm you.

All of that and you as the chair?
Unparalleled.
Thank you, Randall – but let me clarify that I was one of 8 chairmen. The amazing Hort staff and our generous and talented designers did all the work!

Y’all all need to go to Lissy’s blog – it’s adorable, like her.
Love, love all the photos! Can’t wait for tomorrow’s post!
thanks for sharing the beautiful picutres Frances!
The mind is adrift in all this glory of imagination — and engineering. When the dream can be successfully fabricated then you’ve really got the goods.
Tried the pasta recipe and it was delicious though not as good as Stephanie by a long shot!
Probably takes practise -wouldn’t you think!
Hated to miss this stellar floral soirée…
Going to link to this on our twitter and blog roll!
Our readers must see.
Thank you Frances!
Thank you, Margot! And I’m going to buzz over to flowermag.com asap!
LOVE your reference to the corset, “the Versace dress from a few years back”. Wish I knew how to post a photo here of me in that very dress. My wedding dress.

Some pretty AmaZing tables here and I love the theme! pgt
