Rich | Textural | Lustrous

Welcome to an evening where history, art, and celebration intertwine—just as Isabella Stewart Gardner herself would have wanted. Tonight’s design is a love letter to Isabella—her fearless taste, her bold vision, and the way she turned her home into an immersive work of art.

​

The bar? Perfectly positioned in front of Sargent’s dramatic El Jaleo painting, so you can sip a cocktail while basking in the same theatrical glow that inspired Isabella’s soirées. The courtyard? A dreamy Italian escape, where café tables invite guests to linger as music drifts through the air.

 

Every detail has been woven together to highlight the museum’s magic while making it feel intimate & effortless.​ From lush, garden-style florals that mirror the verdant courtyard to luxe, textural linens that echo the layers of art in Isabella’s collection, this design is all about nuance, depth, and passion. Even for the smallest, events, like this intimate cocktail reception in the Spanish Cloisters—we believe in curating a world of color, texture, and feeling. Because art, after all, is in the details.
