Opulence A Renaissance

We were delighted to receive an invitation from our good friends, the elite event design and production agency Bespoke Events London, to their Spring showcase event, to be held in the majestic Raphael Cartoons gallery at the iconic V&A Museum in London – with the event titled “Opulence a Renaissance”, and having worked with Team Bespoke on a recent 270 guest wedding at the V&A, we knew it was guaranteed to be an incredible night!

The evening began with Champagne and cocktails paired with mouth watering canapes and freshly shucked oysters as we caught up with old friends and forged new connections against the lilting sounds of gentle background music; the combination of welcoming soft seating areas in the event’s hero navy colour scheme with gold accents offset by soft florals in pastel colours completed the scene. Soon enough we were invited to take our seats for dinner along a pair of the impeccably styled long tables

Master floral designer Larry Walshe and his team created an opulent Spring dining tablescape of low footed bowls filled with fresh, meadowy spring flowers in bright pastels of yellow, orange, pink, lilac and purple, complemented by tall taper candles in modern glass cylinders, and low level twinkling nightlights.

We were then treated to an incredible menu designed by top event caterer Caper and Berry, starting with an epic dish of poached lobster, white crab tartlet, celeriac purée green apple and radish followed by a main course of Aged fillet of beef, truffle parmesan potato, Hispi cabbage and black truffle.

To round off the evening, we were treated to the most tempting selection of desserts from a custom made patisserie along with a cheeky digestif from Holy Water.

A thoroughly fantastic night, curated by the industry’s finest, and spent in excellent company.

We are very much looking forward to working with team Caper and Berry on a couple of client weddings this season, and to working with Team Bespoke and Larry Walshe again on future client weddings soon

With grateful thanks to our hosts for the evening:
