A bts look into the day
As the influencers arrived, they were greeted with a glass of crisp rosé, courtesy of Fleur de Mer. The refreshing drink was the perfect start to the event and set the perfect tone for the afternoon.
One of the event's highlights was the nail polish wall by essie. Influencers had the opportunity to pick their favorite seasonal nail colors, adding a personal touch to their look. This interactive element was a hit, with everyone eager to find the perfect shade to complement their style.
The bloom bar was another standout feature, allowing guests to create their own bouquets. With a variety of fresh flowers available, each bouquet was a unique creation, rolled in The Ceremony Club newspapers for a fun touch. This activity not only added to the floral theme but also gave influencers a beautiful keepsake to remember the event.
Adding further personalization to the event, Rebecca Illustrated provided custom prints with each guest's name. These beautiful illustrations were a cherished takeaway, capturing the essence of the day and the individuality of each influencer.
After the "cocktail hour," guests were invited to sit down for brunch. The menu featured dishes including Monte Cristos, burrata salad, and chicken and waffles. Each dish was carefully prepared to complement the summery, floral theme of the event, making for a delicious and memorable meal.
