This Valentine’s Day, let Oaklands Mansion be the destination where love stories are told, memories are made, and affection is celebrated. This event captures the essence of romance through culinary delights, music, dancing and educational experiences rooted in Victorian traditions.
Guests will have the option to include a special floral arrangement crafted by Black Cat Florals & Botanicals. The language of flowers, a Victorian-era custom, signifies that each bloom encapsulates sentiment and meaning, allowing couples to express their affections in subtle yet profound ways. In Victorian times, flowers communicated messages of love, admiration, or even disdain, adding layers of meaning to romantic endeavors.
A Valentine’s Evening at Oaklands Mansion is not just an opportunity to dine and celebrate; it’s also an educational experience, offering guests the chance to learn about the history of Valentine’s Day, including the Victorian era’s fascination with expressing love through cards, flowers, and fan languages. Attendees will discover how people shared their feelings in a more restrained society, using intricate designs and romantic motifs to convey emotions both respectfully and passionately. Understanding these traditions adds depth to the evening, offering guests a chance to appreciate the romantic nuances that shaped love expressions throughout history.
We’d like to thank our event sponsors. Without them, Oaklands Mansion would not be able to offer these unique and special experiences.:
