Freya Rose and The Great Gatsby

Yesterday I blogged about GoHen for inspiration for your hen/stag dos with their new Roaring Twenties package. I personally love the styles of the '20s & '30s and I'm so pleased that that era is so much in vogue at the moment. If you're having a vintage style wedding then check out these beautiful shoes from Freya Rose.....

The 'Great Gatsby' is getting greater!!

With Baz Lermon's highly stylised take on this famously classic tale imminent on our screens, Freya Rose celebrates the elegance, drama and sophistication of the 1920's by choosing some of her favourite decadent designs.Freya Rose's innovative and artistic designs resonate roaring 1920s style. This era always has been and will continue to be an increasingly important draw of inspiration. Beautiful materials, intricate bead work and fine detailing are always considered in Freya Rose designs.

'Vivian' Shoe Clips by Freya Rose RRP £75.00

Freya Rose: " The 'Vivian shoe clip' is a gorgeous art-deco inspired clip made from Mother of Pearl and Swarovski Crystals. They jazz up any shoe, are a decadent addition to any outfit and always make an impact!"

'Leah' Shoe by Freya Rose RRP £380.00

Freya Rose: " 'Leah' is a classic open toe sling back in Ivory Duchess silk satin with the Exclusive Freya Rose's signature Mother of pearl mosaic heel. Beautiful hand made duchess silk flower, embellished with swarovski, parisian lace and ostrich feather. This is a gorgeous shoe for someone wanting a classic toe but not having to compromise on details!"

'Audrey' by Freya Rose RRP £375.00

Freya Rose: "'Audrey' has to be my most 20's inspired design. It is an exciting and sexy peep toe shoe with a T-bar and a hidden 1.5cm platform. It has the most exquisite art deco style embellishment leading up the foot, using a variety of swarovski crystal and beads hand worked to create an art-deco geometric print. 

'Audrey' is the result of a collaboration with designer Debbie Carlisle. Anybody with magpie tendencies will pine over these beauties."Freya Quotes " The roaring 20s was such a beautiful time. It was the first time women could move freely in their clothing - the perfect blend between style and function. Everyone still recognises the style   because it is everlasting. I love pulling inspirational details from this explosive time and incorporating them into my designs, allowing a twist of contemporary modern design with the secrets of times gone by."

GoHen

Have you planned your hen or stag night yet? I recommend popping over to the GoHen website for some inspiration.

The countdown is on for upcoming Baz Luhrmann film The Great Gatsby and in celebration GoHen have created a fantastic themed hen party package called 'Roaring Twenties'. The film, which is based on the novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald, centres around 1920's culture and a time of great sophistication and celebration, themes wound into the pre-nuptial package offered by GoHen.

The plot focuses on main character Nick, a World War I veteran who takes a job in New York and rents a small house on Long Island. His new abode turns out to be next door to the lavish mansion of Jay Gatsby, a mysterious millionaire who hosts extravagant festivities. What ensues is an exploration of social connections, forbidden passions and sublime, elegant parties across the great manor house.

The beautiful writing and suave storyline have influenced the innovative hen package created by leading hen party organisers GoHen. Their new ‘Roaring Twenties’ package takes place in the striking city of Oxford and involves hens spending a night in a 4 star hotel with spa and leisure facilities. Typical of Tom and Daisy’s civilized teas in the book the group will indulge in afternoon tea, including a selection of finger sandwiches, pastries and scones served with tea or coffee. This is followed by an afternoon session of Burlesque Dancing, where the group will be taught a sultry, show-stopping dance in-keeping with the many ballroom dances orchestrated by Mr Gatsby. In classic celebratory style the package is topped off with VIP nightclub entry; hens will be treated like royalty and given an unforgettable experience.

GoHen’s Oxford Account Manager Danielle said, “Our wonderful new Roaring Twenties package is perfect for any hens who love the vintage, 1920’s theme and want to recreate a piece of the famous novel. We’ve found the most classy, chic activities on offer and paired them with the fabulously elegant destination that is Oxford to create a hen package that’s a real all-round, group pleasing experience!”
