Enchanted at Twilight: A Summer Night of Magic in the Rock Garden

🌿✨ Cosplay meets fireflies at RBG After Dark

We floated through fairy rings, sparkled under string lights, and brushed past blooms that whispered stories—Enchanted at Twilight was pure midsummer magic.

A handful of OCC members wandered into the Rock Garden on July 10, wings fluttering, flowers woven through skirts and sleeves, ready to soak in the romance of Royal Botanical Gardens’ dreamy evening. This 19+ event was the perfect backdrop for cottagecore, fae, and fantasy looks, and we weren’t the only ones who took the theme to heart—guests came dressed to enchant.

Between live music echoing through the trees, signature cocktails clinking under the stars, and lilac-colored lighting casting shadows on winding pathways, the whole garden transformed into something out of a storybook. We couldn’t resist snapping a few group shots in front of the flower arch (because let’s be honest, if you go full glam fairy and don’t document it—did it even happen?).

Big thanks to the RBG team for dreaming up such a magical night. We’d love to flutter back next season!
