This weekend I was lucky enough to help out at a twenties themed evening, working as a cocktail waitress. It was a wonderful, wonderful evening and I'm so happy to be able to share some of my images with you guys.
Gatsby Night - a one off pop-up event. When the night-lights were lit and the party goers began to arrive I knew we were in for a magical night.
This was an authentic twenties night - no fancy cocktail glasses. Oh no, the cocktails were served in vintage teacups just as they were during Prohibition. Matching the cups and saucers took a while.
There were boys in braces and girls in the prettiest of dresses. Feathers, pearls, hats and scarves adorned all. The outfits were incredible.
Energy levels were high as the band played favourite tunes from the roaring twenties.
Hubs and I were part a team of volunteers who regularly work for our local Arts organisation. Bar profits support the organisation and enable it to put on community Arts events.
This is the first time the bar has served cocktails and none of us has had experience in making and serving such large quantities of cocktails before. Apparently we were the bee's knees! I hope we get to do it again soon.
It all looks absolutely wonderful :-)
