Thousands of peonies and flowering trees surrounded guests glammed out in ball gowns and tuxedos as they entered the grounds of the New York Botanical Garden for the Conservatory Ball.
The evening bloomed with cocktails in the Perennial Garden, followed by dinner and dancing in the Conservatory Tent, coordinated by chairs Maureen Chilton and Mary Davidson.
Among the glitterati: Anne and Mario Grauso, Anne and Charles Johnson, Bill Bartholomay, Mai Hallingby, Gregory Long, Barbara and Donald Tober, Jill and Andrew Roosevelt, Gillian and Sylvester Miniter, Stephanie Krieger and Brian Stewart, Joanne de Guardiola, Cecile and Emmanuel Perrin, Jonathan and Somers Farkas, James and Whitney Fairchild, Elizabeth Stribling, Barbara Brenner, and Sheri and Larry Babbio.
