We catered and helped organise a very special birthday party which was held at the Finsbury Town Hall. Jackie was turning 50 and wanted a 1940’s themed party in which we worked closely with her to help out with the catering and decorations to give it a 1940’s feel.
As you can see from some of the pictures below we put a lot of thought and planning into Jackie’s 1940’s themed birthday. The table was designed with vintage Cutlery and lace, twist glasses, and thyme.
The cake was made by the amazing Rosalind Miller. We researched into having cocktails that not only went with the menu, but suited well with Jackie’s theme. The 1940 cocktail’s we made were based predominantly on gin, rum, brandy or whiskey.
We also had the help from party designer Helen Wright who came up with a lot of really good idea’s, to match the flowers on the table, Jackie’s lipstick and the Birthday cake together in a bright orange.
Jackie wore a very stunning navy dress making it hard to believe she was celebrating her 50th birthday. The party Included an 1940’s styled band with a couple performances and lots of dancing as Jackie had hoped for when we first got in touch. Overall Jackie seemed more than pleased with how her party turned out.
