And just like that... the holiday season is in full bloom at the Mayflower Inn & Spa!

Interior Designer CeCe Barfield Thompson has decked the halls of the chic Auberge Resort property with everything fa la la la la from dried orange garlands and amaryllis towers to plume-topped Christmas trees and pinecones aplenty.

To fête the fabulous new storybook display, CeCe hosted a gaggle of society staples at the Connecticut inn for a candlelit and flower-filled dinner. 

Sarah Hoover, Alexandra O'Neill, Brent Nealy, Charlotte Groeneveld, Amory McAndrew, Madeline O'Malley, Lili Buffet and more stepped out in their most fashionable frocks for the special occasion.
