Out And About with Paris House

At Lyndhurst Mansion’s Petals and Prosecco Flower House event, we savored hors d’oeuvres and cocktails on the scenic porch, then joined an exclusive after-hours tour of the mansion’s creative floral installations. The evening’s ambiance and decor added a special touch to this unique event experience.

A little History (to the best of our knowledge):

The mansion’s three former owners—the Pauldings, Merritts, and Goulds—each left their personal style on the estate. Built between 1838 and 1842, the mansion’s historical and architectural details came alive during the event. The fusion of gardens, fashion, art, and design in the floral installations made the evening stand out.

Event highlights for me included admiring the Tiffany glass, the gallery wall, and especially the Harem Room painting, all of which were made even more memorable by the floral arrangements displayed during the evening.

I recommend visiting the grounds and the bowling alley down by the water. Both are open to visitors during posted hours. Comfortable shoes are helpful for exploring the area.

I also enjoy stopping by the gift shop, which offers a curated selection of books and souvenirs. I like to browse before leaving, as hours may vary.

During summer, enjoy Jazz on the lawn every Thursday evening—bring a picnic, relax with the music, and watch the sunset. Weekend concerts and other special events also take place, so check the schedule in advance when planning your visit.

I check the website for updated schedules throughout the year since they often change. On my previous visit to the fashion exhibition, I enjoyed it so much that I returned this year.
