La Fleur Music x Art x Culture x Botanicals Soirée

La Fleur at Phipps, Presented by Citizens, was an unforgettable evening of music, art, fashion, culture and beautiful botanicals. It took place against the stunning backdrop of the Phipps’ Spring Flower Show, so its beauty was no surprise. What did surprise guests, however, were the many unique performances held in the iconic garden rooms at Phipps. There were ballads, jazz, the powerful sounds of the Cello Fury String Quartet Trio, and the beats of DJ Jimmy. There were fashions made of florals as well as fabrics. Confluence Ballet performed, as did Cameron Waters and Nia Goodman. In fact, there were too many wonderful experiences to list here. For further delight: a plant-forward menu by Chef Kate Romane from Black Radish Kitchen, signature Bacardi cocktails curated by Sarah Shaffer of Tina’s Cocktail Bar and Bottle Shop, and mocktails and NA beer options from Two Frays Brewery.
