Leisurely Luncheon

2011-09-19T04:00:00.000-07:00

Peggy's Place & Plate Hire recently provided the hiring for a wonderful birthday luncheon. Entrée Catering cooked up a storm: starting with a mouthwatering selection of canapés and followed by a three-course meal of the highest quality which stretched over the course of the sunny afternoon. The birthday luncheon was enjoyed by all of the family members and friends present, both young and old.

We provided the tables, the silver chatteau chairs with white cushions, white damask tablecloths and napkins, our uncut Mondial glassware, and the Flirt crockery and Capri cutlery ranges as well as catering supplies for the bar and kitchen.

The décor all came together beautifully with hand crafted name-cards and menus, blue ribbon tied around the napkins and floral arrangements in soft greens, whites and splashes of lilac-blue.

If you are planning some lunchtime entertaining and need any suggestions or hiring please give us a call.

Hand-painted dancefloors!

2011-06-30T07:46:00.000-07:00

There are certain things that can make a wedding or event just that much more special! One of these is a hand-painted dancefloor. They are beautiful, unusual and will create a real talking point around your event.

Memorable for years to come!

Peggy and Ann: Weddings Extraordinaire, Puccini Creations

You can have a painted dance floor that is completely unique and specifically designed for your event. Whether painted to resemble an opulent Persian carpet or recreating aged marble tiles covered with ivy and flowers; depicting a monogram, icon or initials; or perhaps completing a mythical or magical setting: the beauty of a hand-painted dancefloor is that your imagination is the only limit!

Puccini Creations

A hand-painted canvas dancefloor will be the highlighting feature of any wedding or event.

Use a variety of ceramic platters, bread boards, silver trays, cake stands, glass jars, vases and an assortment of dishes to display your treats. Playing with different height levels also creates interest. Incorporate unusual items in your display, such china from a vintage tea set, or place sweets on the shelves of an antique bookself.

You can also bring in different textures with the fabrics you use to dress your table. Bring in candles, floating tealights and floral arrangements.

Make your dessert feast uniquely yours!
