Inside a Private Birthday Dinner at The Maine Mayfair
There’s a certain magic to private dining in London — the kind that unfolds quietly in candlelight, where every detail is considered and every guest feels part of something rare. Last week, we brought that magic to life inside The Drawing Room at The Maine Mayfair, styling an intimate birthday dinner for 30 guests with a vision rooted in elegance and ease.
The Setting: The Maine Mayfair
Nestled in the heart of Mayfair, The Maine is known for its sophisticated interiors and old-world charm — the perfect backdrop for a chic, private celebration. Our florals were designed to enhance, not overpower, the space: low, lush arrangements that celebrated the natural beauty of the season while allowing conversation to flow effortlessly.
The Floral Story
The brief was simple: refined, fragrant, and unfussy. We composed delicate mini vases of white sweet pea, chosen for its light, romantic scent and soft movement. A whisper of greenery added freshness without distracting from the flower’s natural elegance — a quiet luxury in full bloom.
Setting the Mood
To complement the florals, we layered the table with glass candle holders, elegant taper candles in tonal shades, and softly flickering tealights that cast a golden glow across the room. The result was atmospheric yet intimate.
Our Approach
As with every bespoke project, we handled everything from concept to installation, allowing our client (and their guests) to simply arrive and enjoy.
