Moët, Canapés & Bridal Fashion

Thanks to Caroline from CNR Communications for inviting me along to this wonderful fashion event coincidently located right next door to Berta. The well-chosen venue was intimate and service staff were friendly and professional. With only about 40 seats lined up in two rows along the length of the catwalk I really felt part of a very special event. There was no shortage of Moët being served from 1.5 litre bottles and the creative canapés served by Pearl Catering were very good and on par, if not better, than the memorable ones served at the Skalli-Paris Australian Launch Event held at the Ivy Penthouse. I really enjoyed the Poached southern rock lobster canapé and Vanilla brulee tart dessert canapé. The Wagyu beef tartar canapé was full of flavour with the right balance of truffle oil in it without being too overpowering. For such small canapés I was impressed with the amount of distinctive flavour each one provided — they were like mini works of art.

If you're in the market to check out some exclusive New York collections of jewellery, stationery and bridal fashions then this event is for you. Amsale's full collection of wedding gowns will be available to view — I'm sure this means something to those in the know.
