Black Fae Day (apologies if wrong flair)
Last year I hosted a fantasy picnic in Kyoto Gardens, London with the theme being“Faemily Reunion” which is a little play on “family reunion,” but for fae creatures instead. ✨🧚🏾♀️
The idea was to create a soft, whimsical space where people could dress up in fantasy-inspired outfits, wear flower crowns, eat good food, blow bubbles, take photos, and spend time together surrounded by nature and magic. 🌿🍄
We had tiny mushroom decorations, colourful fairy-inspired treats, picnic spreads, music, crafts, and so much laughter under the trees. It genuinely felt like stepping into a little faerie world for the afternoon.
I originally wanted to host another one this year for Black Fae Day, but life became a bit too busy so the gathering will be returning next year instead, hopefully even bigger and more magical. ✨
These photos are some of my favourite memories from the day, and I wanted to share them here with fellow cottagecore/fairycore lovers who might appreciate the whimsy and cosy fantasy vibes as much as I do. 💚
Happy Black Fae Day to everyone celebrating today. May we all continue creating spaces filled with imagination, softness, creativity, and community. 🫧🌸
