Virginia Robinson Gardens 2025: Floral Fantasia 

For the 2025 "Floral Fantasia" Garden Tour & Showcase at Virginia Robinson Gardens in Beverly Hills, Sepideh Mianaby of Ivory Floral Events transformed the historic estate's Library into a romance of deep red and burgundy. The centerpiece was a floral couture mannequin whose sculpted bodice and full skirt were built from hundreds of red, burgundy and pink garden roses, layered over lush asparagus fern. 

Matching arrangements of roses, peonies and dahlias crowned the marble fireplace, a tall white pedestal and the Library's round tables, tying the whole room together under the chandeliers. The behind-the-scenes photos show the arrangements being built in the Ivory Floral Events studio the day before the tour. Every element of the room was designed and created by Ivory Floral Events.

About the design: Floral Fantasia called for drama, so we chose a moody palette of deep red, burgundy, plum and blush. The mannequin's sculpted bodice and skirt were layered with hundreds of roses, and the same blooms were repeated in low and tall arrangements throughout the Library so the room felt like one complete, romantic story.
