Cocktails and Canapes ~ A Fundraiser!

I had a very busy week-end co-ordinating and decorating for a fundraising event for Georgiana's dance school ... It was a wonderful night of cocktails and canapés! We ended up having about 120 people attend so it was a great deal of fun and we managed to make a good amount of money which will go towards the concert at the end of the year.....

I used my beautiful black and white stripe clip shades on white antique iron candelabra and placed a selection of yellow, pink and white roses in various vases at different heights on the centre table .... 

Gorgeous girls at the party!!! Dee thank-you so much for all your help .... I also had wonderful help from my sister, Cath, brother, Pat (who did the charity auction and was amazing!), and also Rach and Brad who entertained us with their fabulous voices ... thank-you so much! The canapes were divine and the chef, Tim and his wife Kim, did an amazing job .... topped off with delicious cocktails from Jacki and Matthew .... well done everyone!

These were some of the auction items .... diamond ear-rings, collectable ballet shoes by a prima ballerina from the Royal Ballet in London (I went to school with her and she is still principal dancer at Covent Garden)  Amazing talent!

We also had stunning artwork, Chanel products and lots more to auction .....

I also loved using empty Perrier Jouet Belle Epoque champagne bottles for rose stems as well .. it looked so pretty!

What a great night .... enjoy!
