Stay Blackpool Presidents Ball at The Imperial Hotel

This event is an end of season "Wrap Party" attended by anyone who is someone in Blackpool (and us). The President of Stay Blackpool Helen Mansell, Vice President Claire Smith & Company Secretary Peter Taylor and the Directors of Stay Blackpool put on a seriously phenominal bash!The flowers for this event were very generously sponsored by Clifton Quality Meats Blackpool Illuminations are of course critical to the success of Blackpool's Season and as a tribute to them our table designs were illuminated and in glorious technicolour.
The Imperial is one of the most splendid buildings on the Fylde and the Empress Ballroom is so impressive, the barrel ceiling is quite honestly breath taking.These boys are the Brothers of Swing a superb swing act, Joe, Booth & Dan, there's more of them later when they're dressed to impress!

They were so good the tables were emptied and everyone danced, what more can you want from live musical entertainment

Vicky, Rachel & I worked hard on the concept, design and creation of these table centres which were auctioned to raise funds for The Illuminations and Cancer Research, the guests were so generous and a huge amount of money was raised from the Flowers, Raffle & Auction for these worthy causes.
