Official Launch Party

Bonjour mes amis,

I apologise for the delay since my last post - I have been absolutely flat out planning the party for the official launch of my business & completing the office renovations.

The launch was held at Mirra Private Dining & Events and turned out to be a spectacular evening (if I may say so myself!). The night was a great opportunity for my favourite suppliers & function managers to get together and let their hair down - it even turned out to be a reunion for some!

I arrived earlier in the day to set up a "real life" planning timeline that featured gorgeous stationery samples, a beautiful cake, photography albums and of course flowers for the bridal party. As well as this there was also a bride & groom who mingled through the crowd in some of the most spectacular wedding gowns while the guests were treated to the delicious canapes & the seductive voice of Michael Buble.

Oh and did I mention that I had my very own wedding cake!! White chocolate cake with a layer of white chocolate ganache....mmmmm...

For those of you who are interested below is a snippet of my speech from the night:
My company is about providing clients not with a wedding planning service but a wedding planning experience that they will look back on with fond memories. It’s about recommending suppliers of the highest quality whether it’s for pieces of furniture for a lounge area that guests can relax in or the wedding cake which will melt in their mouths. It’s about making not only the bride and groom feel spoilt but also their guests, and most importantly, it’s proving that dreams can become a reality if you have the patience and flexibility to match.

A couple of the images from the evening are posted here and more will be going on my website shortly so make sure you have a peek in the coming weeks.
