Colour boost...

We have had some stunning weather this week, very peculiar for a usually grey, wet Cape region with gushing winds and pouring rain. Vibrant colours just seem to be in place for a day like today. Remember that some of the most colourful flowers are in season during the winter, so even if it’s not your birthday or anniversary buy yourself a bunch of bright coloured tulips, poppies or daisies for a hearty color boost and an unconventional weekend treat that won’t hoard on your hips…

Eco Ideas

We sometimes meet a “green” couple who envision an environmentally-friendly affair and hence, to recognize and appreciate that every small contribution helps, we’ve used herbs and plants as a table centre piece at weddings on numerous occasions. Not only is it a refreshing visual alternative, but also a useful guest favor that can be invested back into your garden as a reminder of that cherished day… For more tips on a eco- friendly weddings and some stunning "green" stationary samples, make sure you visit Bella Figura!

"Bonbons..."

It’s Friday and working 24/7 with quotes and décor images, you sometimes reach a point where you feel like screaming when you see another flower or furnishing. So, to do some exploring outside our line of expertise, we focus on the enjoyment and pleasure of good food but to be more specific… cakes, pastries, trays of cup cakes and all sorts of chewy, sugary delights. Not only a welcome replacement for guest favours but these childhood delights become master pieces that compliment the décor and flowers as well!!

Have a happy happy weekend!

Jetsetters...

Because we will not get very far through customs with our garden scissors, glue guns and fresh cut flowers, we like to experience life through the lenses of our some of our favourite photographers who all seem to be travelling the world during the winter months.

Christine Meintjies’ exhilarating trip to Paris, France and Lisbon, Portugal

Lizelle Lotter’s latest wedding shoot in Camp Kwando, Namibia.

Pro Photography, where Sybrand shot the “Westlife Wedding” in Barbados.

Okey so maybe we are just a little bit jealous...
