Welcome, one and all, to the palace gardens! Each guest queued behind a member of the palace guard, their wands inspected and tagged (for the nobles) or safely confiscated to be returned upon departure (merchant class). After confirmation of their invitation, they were permitted access to the gardens via an ivy-covered archway. Guests have full access to the public parts of the palace garden, including several hedge mazes, magical water features, and of course, lovely fields of flowers. Several white tents were set up on the lawn in case of rain, somehow making the grounds seem greener and more lush in their midst instead of distracting. Standing-height tables were strategically placed outside of the tent for groups to gather and rest drinks or hors-d'oeuvres plates, while inside of the tents the buffet tables and the bars were in full swing. Not wanting to forget about the young family members of the military who might join the festivities, there was a "petting zoo" of magical topiary animals, toy broom races, face painting, and special story times for the children, set up on the east side of the garden with their own fun finger foods, a candy floss maker, and popcorn. Palace staff were there to watch out for the children so that their parents could relax. |
