Fashion's favourite florist hosts starry Highland-inspired supper in Mayfair
Florals, fine whisky and famous faces came together for an elegant evening in Mayfair as The Singleton partnered with floral artist Christie Leigh Chung to host a Spring Supper.
The exclusive dinner, held at the Mount St. Restaurant, transformed the space into a Highlands-inspired escape.
Leigh, dubbed 'the fashion set's favourite florist' for her modern take on ikebana and whimsical sculptural arrangements, took inspiration from the whisky's Scottish roots.
Her ethereal installations featured native flora such as heather, thistle and moss, combined with delicately chosen seasonal blooms like sweet peas, foxgloves and bluebells, all selected for their scent, symbolism and springtime beauty.
The guest list was just as carefully curated. Writer Jack Guinness, broadcaster Sydney Lima, artist Lucy Mahon and stylist Phoebe Lettice Thompson were among the creatives who joined the table for a menu that brought the Scottish countryside to life in both taste and tone.
Cocktails crafted using The Singleton's single malt Scotch whiskies were designed to pair with the floral aesthetic.
The Eton Boulevardier, made with The Singleton of Dufftown 15-Year-Old, featured Luxardo Bitter Bianco, Belsazar White, raspberry and meringue.
A Blueberry & Blackcurrant Sour, shaken with the 12-Year-Old, lemon and egg white - delivered a fruity twist, while the Singleton Highball kept things refreshing with cucumber and watermelon soda.
Reflecting on the collaboration, Leigh said: 'It's been so inspiring to collaborate with The Singleton on this evening - the stillness and natural beauty of the Highlands is a gorgeous reference point!
'I've loved learning about The Singleton's ethos and slow distillation process and the synergies with my approach to floristry. I'm so pleased to share the result with my nearest and dearest tonight.'
Ellie Deans, Diageo's Head of Single Malts UK, added: 'The craft and appreciation for the process in Christie's floral artistry mirrors the ethos of The Singleton, so it feels like a symbiotic moment to celebrate an evening with cocktails and floral displays perfectly balanced to create a Spring supper harking to The Singleton's Highlands home.'
