New Afternoon Tea Set Offered at the Waldorf Astoria Beijing Featuring
Legendary Red Velvet Desserts Inspired by the Vera Wang's Red Katherine Dress BEIJING, CHINA - - December 8, 2017 - Two of the world's most iconic luxury brands, Waldorf Astoria and VERA
WANG, are collaborating to present a luxury wedding experience for Chinese
brides in Beijing. In line with this partnership, a Katherine dress themed
afternoon tea set will be available from December 9, 2017 to March 11, 2018 at Waldorf Astoria
Beijing's Peacock Alley as part of the luxury wedding offer, following by a
launch event hosted on December
3, 2017 at the hotel's Hutong Villa.
The
exquisite VERA WANG Afternoon Tea Set available at Waldorf Astoria Beijing is offered in the stylish and relaxing
confines of the Peacock Lounge. Priced at RMB 468 per set plus 15-percent service charge, it features a
delicate assortment of scones, savouries, and pastries that will be sure to
satisfy the most discerning clientele. With a distinctive red theme among the
offerings, the set includes iconic dishes such as classic cranberry scones with
strawberry jam and clotted cream, beetroot crêpes with succulent roasted
Beijing duck and crispy spring roll skin with red caviar, mayonnaise
and strawberry. The desserts on offer take inspiration from the
fashion designer Vera Wang's red Katherine dress. Among
the desserts are a handful of variations of the classic red velvet cake
including lipstick NY red velvet cake, mini raspberry macaroons, raspberry
chocolate truffle, and bride in red dress cookies that draw heavily from Vera
Wang's gown designs.
"We are extremely fortunate to be able
to welcome such a respectable and critically-acclaimed fashion designer label
as that of Vera Wang", said Brian Tong, Waldorf Astoria Beijing's General
Manager, on the Katherine themed
afternoon tea launch event.
The
red theme is prominent in every aspect of the afternoon tea set. Red is a
colour that embodies both the legacy of the Waldorf Astoria brand, and the elegant
VERA WANG Katherine dress. The globally renowned Red Velvet Cake was invented
in New York City's Waldorf Astoria Hotel in 1959 and has been served at festive
holidays such as Christmas and Valentine's Day all over the world for more than
five decades. At its heart, privilege, and romance are expressed in the red
tinge and fluffy texture of this recognisable dessert that is enjoyed by global
travellers. For the Katherine dress, red is the symbol of love, fortune, and
joy that signifies the VERA WANG brand. The design of the dress is known for
its royal and romantic expressions, whilst still exhibiting a modern, graceful
and contemporary impression.
The
romance, royalty and privilege that are symbolic of the Vera Wang's Katherine
Afternoon Tea makes it the ideal setting for brides and brides-to-be to share
their wedding plans as they prepare for their upcoming nuptials and the
prospect of marrying the person they love. A chance to relax in Peacock Alley
over afternoon tea, brides can converse together about their wedding plans
while enjoying the delightful refreshments as they plan one of the most
important days in their lives.
