Lifestyle Blogger Meetup at Peperina Garden Bistro

November 1, 2013

emily setting up A few weeks ago (two, maybe? I’m losing track of the weeks zipping by), I hosted a lifestyle blogger meetup at Peperina Garden Bistro in Ranelagh on the south side of Dublin. It was so much fun and I’m excited to share lots of photos with you today!

peperina set up First, giant thanks to Rincy and Julie for these photos. They captured the evening so perfectly while I was running around organizing and chatting!

The decor is simple and colorful, and our pumpkins and gourds blended right in! Evan, the owner of Peperina, was so sweet to let us take over for the evening! (That’s him below!)

name tags peperina I strictly enforce name tags – no one escapes!

peperina entrance We had the nicest goodie bags with bits from a few talented Irish artists, but I’m going to save that for a post of its own next week! It deserves proper attention and shouting for all the talent and generosity!

leaf backdrop peperina I asked Alex to recreate her awesome autumn leaf wall as a little photo backdrop for the event. We loved it, but there was so much chatting we kind of forgot to use it very much!

peperina table and chairs For an activity on the night, I asked Nikki from Daintree Paper to come and do a little craft demo and she was just amazing. She brought so many fun craft supplies and everyone got to play with glitter. You just can’t go wrong with a little glue and glitter!

ketty and food peperina My only complaint of the night was that it was too short. We had almost thirty bloggers and it was too tough to try to chat with everyone in only a few hours! We need a whole weekend next time!

bloggers at peperina Huge thanks to everyone who made the night a huge success. I can’t wait to see everyone again in a few months!

    Good post. I learn something totally new and challenging on sites I stumbleupon
    on a daily basis. It’s always exciting to read content from other writers and practice a little something from
    their websites.
