Olivia Burton launch

Who: Olivia Burton Boutique | When: September 2018 | Where: Covent Garden

We loved teaming up with Olivia Burton for the launch of its new boutique in Covent Garden. This super-cute accessories brand – known for stylish watches and covetable jewellery – threw a ‘Dream Garden’ themed party to celebrate the opening of its London-based flagship store. Packed with press and social media influencers, guests were greeted with a swinging bench, festooned with pastel-coloured blooms imagined by the talented Rebecca Avery. In fact, there was no shortage of Instagram-worthy spots just waiting to be snapped.

Inside was a flower-filled dream, so we echoed this theme with a selection of botanical canapés and stunning desserts. Pete at Kalm Kitchen worked hard alongside Rachel Martin, Head of Global PR at Olivia Burton to design the concepts. Inside the Dream Garden a range of cocktails was served up, including Bergamot & Lemongrass Gin Collins, plus Blueberry & Elderflower Rocks. We paired these delightful drinks with platters of divine-looking canapés, specially created for the day including:

Wildflower and baby slaw rice baby rolls
Avocado puree on polenta toast with fresh pomegranate and chervil
Cherver Goats cheese on poppy seed fisselle with borage flowers, nasturtium and baby radish
Parmesan pastry with basil and sun blush tomato mascarpone and rosemary crisp
Pink roasted loin of lamb on a poppy seed ficelle with rosemary cream and redcurrant
Beetroot cured salmon on horseradish blinis with sweet dill and mustard sauce

Downstairs in the newly launched boutique, Olivia Burton’s beautiful wares were on show for everyone to see. And our Patisserie Bar – laden with sparkling elderflower jelly with basil & wild flowers; lemon trifle served with a cake pop and raspberry mousse with wild flowers glass – was getting its own share of attention too. We presented these botanical delights on a perspex bar accessorised with lush, blush pinks and pastels.

The team at Olivia Burton told us they were thrilled with the event, feeding bak with the following praise… ‘I just wanted to thank you for last night- everything went perfectly and everyone was so impressed. I thought that the canapés, drinks and service were all brilliant. Thanks so much Pete for a smooth set up too!’
