“I believe when I am in the mood that all nature is full of people whom we cannot see, and that some of these are ugly or grotesque, and some wicked or foolish, but very many beautiful beyond anyone we have ever seen, and that these are not far away… the simple of all times and the wise men of ancient times have seen them and even spoken to them.”

-William Butler Yeats

Theme

Prepare to be enchanted as we blend the cozy charm of Cottage-core Faerie with the whimsical wonders of Wonderland. Picture, if you will, a world where nature’s embrace is ever-present, where quaint cottages nestled amid wildflower meadows beckon with warmth and wonder. This is the essence of Cottage-core Faerie.

In this realm, the air is alive with the sweet scent of blossoms, and each step leads you deeper into an enchanted forest where fairies flit and woodland creatures converse.

But there’s more to this tale, for just beyond the garden gate, you’ll find yourself tumbling down a rabbit hole into the whimsical world of Wonderland.

Here, teacups spin in perpetual dance, card soldiers march to the Queen’s command, and Cheshire Cats offer enigmatic guidance.

At the Seelie Soiree, we blend these two enchanting realms, creating a space where every corner holds a secret waiting to be discovered.

Prepare your heart for a night where fantasy becomes reality, where the ordinary turns magical, and where the Seelie Soiree promises to be a night of wonder that lingers in your memories forever.
