INTRODUCING
VIVIENNE Meet Vivienne. She’s charming and sophisticated, well-versed and well-traveled. An intimate dinner party is preferred to a night out on the town—unless it includes a stroll down Fifth Avenue, where her eyes sparkle as do her sequined pumps. With a positive outlook, she always sees the champagne glass half full (with a splash of St-Germain, naturally). Cork Collection is a visual series dedicated to showing the versatility of Cork Factory Hotel as a wedding and event space. Whether your style is mod and pop, glamour and gold, leather and lace, or a bit of everything, you’ll find the historic charm of Cork Factory Hotel to be the perfect canvas for any celebration. As you flip through the following pages, we hope Vivienne’s world fills you with inspiration, ideas, and excitement.
ACT ONE
T H E S H OW E R On a misty afternoon, Vivienne joins her closest friendsÂin an intimate cocktail party setting to celebrate her soon-to-be status. The table is dressed with roses as fair as her skin and greenery as cool and gentle as her demeanor. Mixed metals shine and sequined linens sparkle, but only second to her smile. With the taste of elderflower on her lips, she speaks from the heart— an honest thank you in the form of a toast.
Keep daytime celebrations light and airy, but don’t skimp on the elegance. MINI WHITE CAKE PEDESTALS are sized perfectly for displaying custom-painted macarons and pair well with mixed metal candlesticks and julep cups. GOLD MR. & MRS. CAKE TOPPERS add the finishing touches to a grey marbled fondant cake.
THE SWEET LIFE
Layers of pearly whites, sequins, buttery florals, and marble create a delicate scene. Wish them well with LETTERPRESSED ADVICE COASTERS. GRAY & GOLD MARBLED PAPER PLACEMATS look like a million bucks and are easy to clean up.
ACT TWO
THE REHEARSAL On a brisk evening, bathed in cool winter moonlight, Vivienne steps into The Warehouse and is greeted by friends and future family. Quickly but gracefully, she trades her fur cape and gloves for a blackberry champagne cocktail as sparkling as her dress (and personality). An abundant display of aromatic wines, cocktails, and decadent treats— savory and sweet—await to be tasted. Tables are flooded with delicate glassware, navy blue and silver china, and monochromatic linens form a sea of opulence. Overhead, lush greenery spills like a waterfall and sets a fantastical scene—shoving even the trendiest Manhattan rooftops to the side. Glasses are raised on repeat as old friendships are rekindled and new ones are made. A fresh chapter in Vivienne’s book is quickly being written— but the best is yet to come.
DAZZLE
Break the rules. Mixing metals and tones with tabletop decor, bar cart accessories, and linens adds layers of texture and opulence. Use a gold mercury glass ADVENT CANDLEHOLDER as a vase for jewel tone florals. A grey BUTTERCREAM LACE CAKE with matching pattern is just, well, icing on the cake.
Satisfy sweet teeth with MARBLED BARK WITH SILVER LEAF that’s as rich looking as it is tasting. Tall zombie PEACOCK FEATHER GLASSES serve up the perfect cocktail—or in this case, just a sip of water. A lush canopy of greens hovering above the table creates an intimate setting.
of chocolate ganache tartlets, cheesecake bites topped with berries, opera tortes, lemon meringue tartlets, and tiramisu cups are sure to please anyone—and everyone. And when they’re topped with gold leaf accents, they’ll have more than just the bride saying, “I do.” Keep tabs on your makeup with a GOLD COMPACT so glamorous, there’s no need to hide it away in a bag. MINIATURE DESSERTS
Get the good times flowing with a LET’S POP A CORK CHAMPAGNE BAR . A vintage hutch transforms into an escort card display thanks to CUSTOM PAPER GOODS , champagne coupes, and antique odds and ends.
Glossy black ACRYLIC TABLE NUMBERS direct guests, while BE MY GUEST PLACEHOLDERS in “lady” and “gentleman” formally greet the couple. A collection of old and new barware and drinkware feels timeless—then, top off the display with custom bubbly bottles.
ACT THREE
THE CEREMONY Just moments before the grand celebration, an intimate ceremony takes place. It’s small—only the closest family and friends are present—and it’s sweet, but—much like Vivienne—there’s nothing ordinary about it. Gazes are locked as words are softly exchanged, and before she knew it, their promises are sealed with a kiss.
ACT FOUR
THE RECEPTION Vivienne’s grand celebration is one to go down in history. She transforms The Ballroom into a glistening kingdom of precious metals and globes aglow. Everything that can be gilded is—and all that glitters is indeed gold. Libations are lavish and bountiful, giving Gatsby a run for his money. Her affinity for yesteryear is reflected in every gleaming detail. Guests are transported to another place and time, but they party like there’s no tomorrow.
LIGHT UP WORLD
Raise a glass—specifically a
and toast to new beginnings. A towering sets the stage of plush grandeur. Dine like royalty with gold rimmed DORE’ and end things on a sweet note with meringe sandwiches. GOLD RIMMED CHAMPAGNE COUPE
BUTTERCREAM ROSETTE CAKE DINNER PLATES
Go “old Hollywood” but keep it modern with a silky-rosetted sweetheart table veiled in suspended edison bulbs. Keep with the theme when selecting details—choose gold rims, black sequins and glitter, and CUSTOM MENUS with delicate script typography.
