How to Dress for Hosting A Corporate Event.

Hosting an event party is always a night to remember especially organising the event to be elegant, sophisticated and oh so glamorous. But behind every wonderful event, there is much preparation and planning. Everything has to be perfect, from the guest list to the venue hire. London is, after all, home to some of the world’s most amazing parties and beautiful venues. Filled with beautiful people, it’s essential to dress the part at these gorgeous events.

As every host of an event is thinking, it really is all about the venue hire and your look. But how should you dress for your own event? How can you make sure you look the part? The following tips are provided by some of the capital’s best event planners. London and her party scene are waiting for you…

Pick the Right Dress for the Right Occasion

As every person who hosts an event knows, always think about the occasion when planning your outfit. Day or evening? Formal or informal? Art party or upscale champagne reception?  Corporate event venues or Marquee Wedding? Dress to impress, but always dress appropriately. You don’t want to end up wearing an Oscar party dress to a cool eccentric art show.

Designer Labels, Vintage or High Street?

Whilst a number of people aspire to wear what is recently graced on the pages of fashion magazines in high street attire, catwalk designer labels are much more de rigueur.  But don’t worry if your bank balance doesn’t stretch to owning a one-off Vivienne Westwood dress. The growth of designer rental shops means you can go to the ball in a beautiful Alexander McQueen gown – just search online for suggestions on outfits in rental shops near you. If your style errs to the classic, opt instead for key vintage designer pieces. Search vintage boutiques and scour Etsy or eBay, looking for iconic labels like Biba, Ossie Clarke or even Chanel.  

Accessorise, Accessorise, Accessorise!

Shoes, handbags, jewellery; as every host of an event feels, the right accessories complete your outfit. But choose carefully – that pair of shoes may look stunning, but do make sure you can walk in them. Your choice of handbag also speaks volumes about you –you may not be able to get your hands on a Hermes Birkin Bag, but turning up with a suitably impressive leather accessory will be sure to get you noticed. Key jewellery pieces can also make a statement and needn’t cost a fortune, as the latest buzz around Tatty Devine pieces demonstrates. Last, but not least, arrive with the right attitude and mindset. Prepare to be photographed and think confidence, sass and poise as this is your special event!
