THE WEINSTEIN COMPANY, ENTERTAINMENT AND PATHÉ, POST BAFTA PARTY HOSTED BY GREY GOOSE AT ROSEWOOD LONDON

It's taken me literally a week to recover from BAFTA madness... but what a fun couple of days! It started out on Friday with Harvey Weinstein's BAFTA nominees dinner in partnership with Burberry and Grey Goose at Little House, Mayfair, where a glittering guestlist featuring the likes of models du jour Cara and Poppy Delevingne, Suki Waterhouse and actresses Keira Knightley and Uma Thurman, kicked off the British Film Award celebrations in style. 

 

Post the BAFTA ceremony, the parties continued and in partnership with Grey Goose, The Weinstein Company, Entertainment Film Distributors and Pathé hosted a party at Rosewood London. If you haven't been to the newly refurbished Rosewood London, you are missing out - it's absolutely stunning and beautifully decorated. 

Guests including Harvey Weinstein, Bradley Cooper, Leonardo Di Caprio, Amy Adams, Lily Allen, Naomi Campbell, Gillian Anderson, Christopher Waltz, Oprah Winfrey, Cate Blanchett, Rita Ora, Philomena Lee, Eddie Redmayne and Douglas Booth were all enjoying the delicious Grey Goose cocktails (the brand had specially created a collection of cocktails for the Awards Season including Martini De La Mer, L'Amour Moderne and Lower East). To accompany the cocktails, a selection of delicious canapés including steak tartare, shrimp burgers, gourmet fish and chips and chili pork belly were served. 

 

The music certainly got everyone dancing and at one point in the evening, Rita Ora, Karen Elson and Lisa Fischer took to the stage to sing an impromptu version of Take Another Little Piece of My Heart.

Finalement - and my favourite part of the night... the Holborn Delicatessen... I felt like I was in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory - a whole room, floor to ceiling with the most delightful selection of deserts and sweet treats on offer - chocolate fountains, soured marshmallows (in apple and raspberry flavour), strawberry cheesecake popcorn and toffees galore!

A fun party that ended with a sparkling Grey Goose Le Fizz toast - the ultimate celebratory cocktail. 

Luxury Wedding Invitations

As any bride to be will know, it's all about meticulous planning and attention to detail! For me, every detail is hugely important and guests' impressions mean a lot to me. So when it came to finding our wedding invitations, I spent a lot of time working out the style of invites I wanted and visiting printers to check out paper weights, fonts, colour etc.

For me, it's all about 'less is more'... I wanted something very traditional,  simple and elegant. However I didn't realise just how expensive this would be, and for awhile, I thought I would have to change my design... until I was introduced to The Letter Press of Cirencester.

Quality wedding stationers, The Letter Press of Cirencester, have been printing wedding invites for almost 30 years and offer a huge variety of invites in both classic as well as innovative, creative styles using raised print, letterpress print and foil blocking. (Check out the range here for inspiration).

I was hugely impressed with their offering and also at how informative their website is. There are colourplan swatches, paper swatches (who knew there was such a difference between smooth, laid and impression paper), information on inks, ribbons, bindi jewels, font illustrations etc. And if this isn't enough to guide you, their team is absolutely lovely and very helpful... I called several times asking for all sorts of advice!

In the end, I selected The Letter Press of Cirencester's classic style invite which was exactly what I set out to find. I went for classic style, 600 gsm, marina font, 8x6, fly sheet in high white wove heavy. As I haven't posted them yet - I am afraid I am not going to upload any pictures of my invites just yet, but see below for an example of the kind of style.

The whole process was really straightforward and totally stress free. I submitted my copy through the website and was quickly provided with a mock up for approval. Once signed off, my invitations arrived a few days later with handmade matching envelopes.

The invitations arrived in very smartly packaged boxes - they looked very luxe indeed and I have to say, they are absolutely PERFECT! I have seen so many invites working in luxury PR, but these are by far the best (and not just because they are my very own wedding invites)... my only regret... that I didn't buy more for keepsake!
