This season, Emily P. Wheeler was honored to sponsor the annual Orchid Dinner at the New York Botanical Garden—an evening that brings together art, design, horticulture, and philanthropy in celebration of one of nature’s most extraordinary flowers. Emily P. Wheeler launched the new Fenua Collection at the event and donated a portion of sales to NYBG.

Set within the Garden’s lush, immersive orchid installations, the dinner gathered a remarkable community of creatives, collectors, and cultural leaders in support of NYBG’s ongoing work in plant research, conservation, and education. Representing the brand for the evening were friends of Emily P. Wheeler including Anne V and Will Kahn, whose presence reflected the spirit of creative collaboration that defines the night each year.

The Orchid Dinner is always a highlight of the New York spring season, and this year’s celebration was especially memorable, with distinguished guests of the Garden including Martha Stewart. Surrounded by rare blooms and sculptural floral environments, the evening felt like stepping into a living installation—an atmosphere that resonates deeply with Emily’s own approach to jewelry design, where nature serves as both inspiration and muse. 

Supporting NYBG’s Orchid Dinner reflects our ongoing commitment to organizations that preserve beauty in its most essential form. Just as orchids embody rarity, delicacy, and strength, they continue to inspire the craftsmanship and natural storytelling at the heart of Emily P. Wheeler. We were proud to be part of such a meaningful and visually extraordinary evening.
