Oaks Day, known as ‘ladies day’ is held on the Thursday after Melbourne Cup and is a customary celebration of spring fashion and style.

The ladies of Mayflower Brighton dressed in their finest spring attire, pinned on a fascinator or donned an elegant hat, all while enjoying a lovely glass of wine with friends.

The horse racing carnival was almost a distant memory as residents enjoyed a chat and the warm, friendly atmosphere of the afternoon while enjoying a stylish and sweet high tea of club sandwiches, chocolates, macaroons and of course cupcakes.

Resident Judy, staff members Malliga, Lauren, and Oya along with resident Shirley dressed for the occassion.

Resident Iris wore one of the many beautiful hats in her private collection. Pictured here with Brighton Lifestyle Coordinator Teresa.
