The Great Gatsby - Glazebrook Country House Hotel Editorial

On September 29th, Amour Exhibitions will be hosting their next event at Glazebrook Country House Hotel in South Brent - a Great Gatsby themed Wedding Fair at a luxury hotel in the idyllic countryside surrounding Dartmoor National Park, sending you back in time to the roaring 20's and giving you the chance to see some of the finest wedding suppliers all under one roof.
The Great Gatsby is a novel written by F. Scott Fitzgerald in 1925. Based around the social history of America during the ‘Roaring Twenties’, the novel covers themes such as the human aspiration to start over again, as well as social politics and its brutality. More than anything, the Roaring Twenties revolved around status, wealth and glamour, along with the popularity of jazz music and ‘modern fashion’.

Exhibitors at the ‘Great Gatsby at Glazebrook’ event will bring a real vintage feel to the occasion, including Nicola Hurst Jewellery, Angelface Gowns, Truly Scrumptious Sweets, Bluebella lingerie, The Ivy Beauty Rooms, Momentos Photography and many more, as well as live entertainment from Chameleon Roadshow and 4 Tissimo String Quartet.

From 11am – 4pm, the event will consist of around 35 of the best local wedding suppliers complimenting the fabulous styles of the glamorous Gatsby era, as well as an opportunity to enjoy live music, free entry and a free welcome drink upon arrival.

CDEC Wedding Cars

CDEC Wedding Cars commenced trading in 2005 supplying modern luxury cars for weddings and have since added the latest long wheel base Mercedes S-Class and more recently an original vintage 1930 Franklin 147 Salon Special to their fleet.

The Franklin 147 is the only model of its kind in the UK with only 16 remaining in the world (according to the official Franklin club register)

Franklins were unique in that they only ever manufactured air cooled engines which is one of the reasons why the engines last so long.

Plymouth Fancy Dress

Plymouth Fancy Dress is a UK based Fancy Dress Company, offering the highest quality branded products at prices far lower than the high street. They believe that buying online should be quick and easy. That's why if you place an order with them before 2pm they will post it that same day using the delivery method you specify. They are able to achieve this high level of service by operating out of a 8,000 square foot warehouse filled with stock - unlike many of their competitors they hold physical stock so they don't order your product once they receive yours. Using the latest technology and reliable and robust order management processes they are able to see exactly where your order is at any given time down to the person that has picked and even down to what time it is actually been packed and despatched.More Information at: http://www.plymouthfancydress.com/

Work Experience Day 1 – 23/09/2013

I’m Kelly, an aspiring journalist and writer from Cornwall.

Today marked the beginning of an 8 week work placement with Amour Exhibitions. I took this placement because I’m interested in journalism and events management. My main focus is music journalism, and I’m keen to start my own music magazine in the future, but currently have no experience in running a business. By working with Amour Exhibitions, I’ll have the chance to see how a small business operates and to improve my journalistic skills by writing articles and blogs for the company.

This morning has been spent writing an editorial piece for the company’s upcoming event in South Brent, Devon, which has been emailed to the local newspapers from the South Brent area. The article explained the basic idea behind the company, with a brief insight to the Amour Exhibitions team, a quote from manager Jodie Hawkins on why she started the company, details about the upcoming event and some previous feedback from clients.

Over the next few weeks, I'll be writing blog posts about the work placement, detailing most of the journalistic work that I'm involved with, such as writing newsletters and editorial pieces for events and venues and working on business plans for my own magazine.
