Hats in the Garden: A Stylish Spring Soirée at Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden
A Tropical Setting with a Garden Party Twist
Tucked beneath the glass roof of the Williamson Conservatory, guests were treated to a vibrant oasis filled with orchids, a cascading waterfall, and tropical plants from around the globe—including vanilla orchids and cocoa trees. Against this backdrop, a sea of bright hats and even brighter smiles mingled over champagne served in our Gatsby Coupe Glasses during the cocktail hour.

The Rentals That Brought It All Together
For the catered dinner, we helped transform the conservatory with a mix of banquet and round tables, each dressed in a palette inspired by the gardens themselves. Banquet tables were covered in our Green Meadow floral linens, an artful print blooming with shades of green, purple, pink, and white over a soft mint blue background. Nearby, round tables offered contrast in soft Ivory Panama Linens, adding a neutral base that allowed the colors of the garden, and the glassware, to shine.
Natural Willow Chairs anchored the setting with organic texture, echoing the surrounding foliage and tying the botanical backdrop into each guest's place at the table.

Place Settings with Personality
Guests were welcomed to garden-inspired tablescapes that layered color and texture with care. Each place setting began with a Natural Rattan Charger, offering an earthy base that grounded the design. Blush frayed-edge napkins softened the scene with a romantic touch, while our Pink Carousel Goblets introduced a sweet burst of color. For added depth and contrast, Pure Red Wine Glasses caught the warm light and mirrored the rich tones found in the vibrant floral centerpieces below.
Centerpieces made the most of the garden setting, bursting with baby's breath, roses, and hydrangeas in every color of the rainbow. The result? A reception that felt celebratory, cohesive, and unmistakably spring.

Details That Made a Statement
While the floral prints and pink goblets certainly made an impression, it was the balance between elegance and playfulness that tied this design together. The color story worked in harmony with the setting, while the textural elements—like the rattan and willow—brought a subtle nod to the garden's organic beauty.
