About this Event
The Afternoon Salon is an intimate, high-sensory gathering that fuses fine millinery, botanical wellness rituals, and tactile art practices. Set against an open-air or light-filled architectural backdrop, the event invites guests to step into a slow, intentional pace -pairing the elegance of classic garden attire and statement headwear with the restorative qualities of herbal tea, reflective reading, and guided canvas painting.
