Wednesday 18th April was the night we had all been waiting for…
The launch of our brand new vintage party planning service
“An Era of Experience”. I’ve been teasing you all with little snippets about An
Era of Experience over the last few months so now finally, I cannot wait to put
my words into pretty pictures and let you all in on our secret.
Last Wednesday we invited 5 key bloggers and publications to
our official launch of An Era of Experience. I’m quite new to this whole
rubbing shoulders with the press/bloggers business! However I have to say, all
of the ladies and one gent that attended An Era of Experience press launch were
so lovely.
There was no dress rehearsal or practice runs, this was it, this
was showtime! Despite the last minute hiccups of emergency lighting, extension
lead and haven’t-a-clue-how-to-work-a-projector-screen, the event went so well
that it ended up feeling like a social with friends rather than a scary press
review!
The preparation for the event was intense. Bethany kindly
gave us all a vintage makeovers at her home salon to ensure we all flirted a
finger-wave! We all arrived at And The Dish Ran Away with the Spoon in our
beautiful vintage gowns and sensible flat shoes with bags and bags of
accessories to dress the room. We set to work at 4:00pm, munching on fish n
chips as we worked. It must have looked pretty peculiar to anyone looking in!
HaHa!
At 6:59pm we slipped into our heels and took a minute to
breathe. Our evening began with press arriving at promptly as instructed at
7:00pm.
For The Love of
Vintage took orders straightaway for her signature teapot cocktails while And
the Dish Ran Away with the Spoon talked everyone through her Speakeasy inspired
food menu.
Once everyone had had a tipple and a nibble, I gathered
everyone around my table of trinkets and trims and started my Flapper headdress
workshop.
Here are a couple of sample 20’s headdresses I had brought
along for inspiration.
While the rest of the group took part in the workshop, each
lady received special pampering treatment from The Vintage Beauty Parlour.
Bethany and her assistant worked on hair and make-up at the same time, drawing
long pencil thin brows and creating pretty pin curls on each of the ladies.
It was really nice to host such an intimate event to take
the time to get to know each blogger and journalist properly. I really enjoyed
offering guidance to the ladies designing their headpieces and was so pleased
that everyone had a finished souvenir to take away!

So around 10:00pm our guests left with a little pot of red
velvet cake baked by And the Dish Ran Away With the Spoon to remember An Era of
Experience by. I really doubt they decided to share it, it looked way too
yummy!
Us ladies celebrated with a well-deserved glass of Prosecco
and toasted the success of a truly fabulous evening!
Well done everyone!
With special thanks to the ever wonderful Katy Lunsford for
capturing us all on camera, Laura Coleman for providing the beautiful floral
blooms and to Didsbury Life for photographing and blogging about An Era of
Experience.
Of course not forgetting my fabulous four!
