A Christmas Winter Wonderland

 


Winter Wonderland Christmas Party Marriott Tudor Park Golf & Country Club 
  
We were delighted in November to be invited by Kent business KEF to style their combined Christmas and 50th anniversary party.

The party was held in the Bearstead suite and adjoining marquee at the Marriott Tudor Park Golf & Country Club, near Maidstone in Kent. 

Snowy the snowman welcomed guests to the Bearstead suite.

A giant ice sculpture provided by Icework of one of KEF's magnificent speakers was the focal point of the celebration and so a winter wonderland theme was the order of the day.

We placed waterproof led lights in the base to bring the light through the sculpture

The ice sculpture was placed beside one of our tall winter wonderland twig trees
and the whole corner was lit by blue up lighters.

The drinks reception and disco was held in the Bearstead Suite. We draped the walls in white fabric, with a star cloth behind the DJ and placed blue up lighters around the room.

The ceiling was quite low, so we hung some small snowflakes and glittered stars. We framed the entrance to the marquee with a pair of 6 foot tall glittered birch branched made into trees, dressed with lights, snowflakes and icicles. White linen and our fitted chair covers completed the look.

The main banquet was held in the adjoining marquee. The marquee already has a fabulous lining so no draping was required, but plenty of blue up lighters ensured the theme was carries through.




 

Giant snow flakes & stars, glittered and hung from the marquee roof
We dressed the beautiful pitched roof of the marquee with giant glittered snow flakes & stars which created a cosy and intimate feeling.

Our tailored chair covers with silver sparkly sashes completed the white out.

For the centrepieces, we decided to keep the arrangements below the hanging snowflakes and stars low. We used large globe vases (fish bowl vases) and filled them with glittery white and silver baubles "crushed ice" and lots of snowflake lights. They were then set on a LED light base.

On the tables around the edges we went tall again with table centrepieces made with the glittery birch branches to compliment the arrangements in the Bearstead Suite. These of course were finished with hanging snowflakes, icicles and blue LED lights we nestled in the mirrored cube vases to light up the displays.

We are always delighted to hear feedback after our events, but the perfect Christmas present was this glowing testimonial from our client:

I just wanted to thank you all so much for all your hard work at our Christmas Party on Friday 2nd December. We had lots of positive feedback from our guests, everyone absolutely loved the Winter Wonderland you created for us! The Managing Director especially, was impressed with the efficiency and professionalism of your team. You really did go to great lengths to transform the suite into a magical dream and it certainly had the ‘Wow’ factor we had hoped for.



Your commitment to our party was second to none, as was your attention to detail and creativity. We will definitely be recommending Classic Events to friends and other organisations. It was such a pleasure to work with you on this event and we hope to do so again in the future.


Once again, thank you for making our Christmas party an unforgettable one!

Hope you all have a lovely Christmas and all the best for the New Year.

Summer Country Inspiration

As the weather heats up and we enjoy all that is wonderful about the British summer, I thought I would share with you some of my favourite summer wedding images that we have worked on over the past year or so.

It's a little bit country, a little bit vintage, but a whole lot of pretty.
