The Alverton’s Great Gatsby New Years Eve Party 2014

On the last day of the year the Alverton held the most Glamorous New Years Eve party in Cornwall. The Greats Gatsby party was full of 1920’s flare with candelabras dripping with pearls, Gold bottles boasting sparkling ostrich feathers and every table glistening with scatter gems the stage was set for a night to remember.

The men were dressed in spats trilbies and braces and the women wore dresses layered in fringing  strings of beads and fabulous headwear. Some pieces were designed and made by N.Joy.Millinery herself. Her customers looked stunning in N.Joy’s one off headwear. Below are a few designs that were sold for the event.

                With Diamante Swarovski crystals and pearls N.Joy.Millinery’s customers danced the night away.

 N.Joy’s Gatsby pieces start at £45 all intricately hand embroidered these pieces are one off costume designs that use beautiful materials and designs inspired by the 1920’s that will make you the envy of any art deco party . N.Joy.Millinery has a large range of stock but she also custom makes pieces to suit your outfit.

One of the talking points of the Alverton’s party was the mouth watering buffet with a suckling pig, whole salmon cheese platter and chocolate fountain all displayed on framed mirrors surrounded byendless glasses of prosecco the party was an extravaganza that Gatsby himself would have been proud of.

I wonder what the Alverton will think of next year.

 

                The Alverton is  a beautiful historical building , Once a nunnery, it is now turned into a chic hotel. That blends old world decor with a contemporary twist.  As well as having a range of stunning bedrooms, a fabulous  restaurant and a cosmopolitan bar. The Alverton boasts the exquisite  Great Hall. This was the grand chapel in its time, it still has its original stain glass windows and arched ceiling. It now plays host  to a range of parties and a huge variety of weddings throughout the year. But for one evening only it is being transformed back in time to the roaring 20s in a Great Gatsby inspired new years eve party.

                With each guest dressed to impress in the flapper style N.Joy.Millinery was asked to do a display based around the theme of the Great Gatsby. As most of you knew Natalie-Joys Degree was in Costume Design, which is why many of N.Joy.Millinery’s pieces have a vintage feel to them. So Natalie was keen to take this opportunity  to showcase some of her more art deco pieces.
