Step inside a storybook spring.

Nestled within the light-filled greenhouse at Highland Mansion, The Cottage Conservatory Sessions are inspired by old-world garden markets and gathered spring blooms. Think woven baskets overflowing with florals, trailing greenery, mossy textures, and soft natural light filtering through glass panes. Quick. Intentional. Heirloom-worthy.

Styled Outfit Guide

The Overall Vibe

Think:
• Cottage garden mornings
• Woven baskets & trailing ivy
• Linen dresses brushing greenhouse floors
• Soft, earthy, romantic tones
• Nothing overly bright or synthetic

If it feels like you could gather wildflowers in it — you’re on the right track.

Color Palette

  • Moss

  • Sage

  • Olive

  • Soft cream

  • Oatmeal

  • Warm ivory

  • Dusty blush

  • Muted peach

  • Soft clay

  • Faded denim

Avoid

  • Neon tones

  • Stark white

  • Bold graphic prints

  • Bright primary colors

  • Heavy black

The set is layered with greenery and woven textures, so soft neutrals and earthy tones will photograph beautifully.

For Moms

This is a dress moment.

Best Choices:

  • Flowy midi or maxi dresses

  • Linen or cotton fabrics

  • Soft florals (tiny print, not bold)

  • Subtle puff sleeves

  • Delicate lace details

  • Wrap silhouettes

Texture is key: gauze, linen, crochet, eyelet.

Barefoot or neutral sandals are perfect.
Loose waves, braids, or soft natural styling will feel effortless and romantic.

For Dads

Keep it light and natural.

Great Options:

  • Linen or lightweight button-down in cream, sage, or soft blue

  • Henley in oatmeal or muted green

  • Rolled sleeves

  • Light khakis, soft denim, or taupe trousers

  • Brown leather belt/shoes

No bright polos or heavy athletic wear — this is garden romance, not backyard BBQ.

For Little Ones

This set LOVES children in:

  • Soft suspenders

  • Linen rompers

  • Simple cotton dresses

  • Bloomers + knee socks

  • Neutral cardigans

  • Tiny woven hats

Textures photograph beautifully. Avoid cartoon graphics.

💐 Styling Tips

✔ Coordinate, don’t match
✔ Limit patterns to one person
✔ Mix texture more than color
✔ Lay outfits on your bed together before deciding
✔ When in doubt — softer is better

If you want, you can even offer to review outfits via DM — that increases bookings + engagement.
