An evening at Claridge's
Claridge's London
This elegant evening was hosted as the rehearsal dinner ahead of the wedding the next day. The families were staying at Claridge's for the duration of their time in the UK, so it felt apt that guest be invited into their London 'home' the night before the wedding. Following a champagne reception, guests were invited into the Mirror Room for dinner, where the tables were laid following a colour palette of rust oranges, sage greens and an elegant cream.

This elegant evening was hosted as the rehearsal dinner ahead of the wedding the next day.

Following a champagne reception, guests were invited into the Mirror Room for dinner, where the tables were laid following a colour palette of rust oranges, sage greens and an elegant cream.
The Mirror Room, in it's art deco glory, was the perfect room for the dinner. Elegant and refined yet with all the glamour and prestige that Claridge's is so well known for. The room was bathed in a soft candlelight which flickered throughout the night, from tall sage green tapers. The florals in the centre of each table were elegant and beautifully bought the colour palette to life.
Each table setting had the iconic gold edged Claridge's crockery and to introduce a pop of colour, a rust orange oval menu sat at each plate, with the guest name written beautifully at the top. Tortoiseshell cutlery, an amber water glass and the colour within the linen bought this event together perfectly.
