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.
