So I know that Sunday evenings are a time to catch up on the blogs and think about your week ahead, which is why I want to share this with you now.
And I extra-especially want to share this with you because I'm keen to support my wedding industry fellow blogging friend, the sweet Philly girl Alexis Cuddyre from the 'OMG I'm Getting Married' blog. As in she who joined in the fun on the Big Fat UK Wedding Bloggers Photoshoot. Yes, that American beauty!
Along with her colleague Mary Lee Herrington of Forever & Ever Events, Alexis has been working hard behind the scenes on a rather marvellous little 'vintage bridal tea party' project, taking place this coming Wednesday, and to which you are cordially invited to attend and have a beautiful evening with fellow vintage lovers. And it's called 'Altar-Ed' 🙂
Get dolled up, learn makeup and hair tricks and tips, and partake in an evening of girly lavishness at a Vintage Tea Party!
The Altar-Ed event is designed as an intimate masterclass, boasting a luxurious line up of the best-of-the-best in the London wedding community, where guests will learn the tricks in achieving a specific vintage style of their choice. Celebrity makeup artist Claire Hanson and her team (whose clientele include Kate Winslet, Jon Bon Jovi and Nicole Richie) will demonstrate how to achieve vintage looks in hair and makeup from specific vintage eras and provide hands-on tutorials to guests…
Milliner Edwina Ibbotson, whose work appears regularly in Vogue and Brides magazine, will demonstrate how to finish a vintage look with pieces from her bespoke millinery collection. In addition, music agency, Sternberg Clarke, will provide live music to add to the ambience of a vintage themed event, while The Vintage Table, Restoration Cake and Hello!Lucky Stationery will provide their finely decorated products to showcase the décor of a vintage themed event. Shell de Mar Photography, with their relaxed reportage photography and whimsical edge, will photograph the tea party and provide a Photo Booth with vintage props for guests to have fun and take photos after their makeovers.
I Do Films Videography will shoot on vintage Super 8 film to document the evening and luxury florist Wild About Flowers will provide additional decorations. Finally, for the curious seekers or those of you in the market for diamonds can have a consultation with luxury jeweller Jon Keith Diamonds, whose pieces are all made bespoke to order.
Tea sandwiches, cakes and wines will be served, courtesy of Leith’s at Dartmouth House and Restoration Cake. You’ll leave with a free make-up, hair and styling consultation and quirky goodie bag.
Tickets for the event are £25 per person. To inquire or to book tickets, please email [email protected].
Guests are encouraged to arrive dressed in their vintage finest.

The www.altar-ed.com website has everything else you need to know. Go see now, it looks ruddy brilliant! I'd be there in a flash but I unfortunately won't be able to make it. I'm sending lots of love to Mary and Alexis however and have no doubt they will pull off a brilliant and fun event for all attending to enjoy 🙂

Much love all,
