Hip Hip Hooray!

We celebrated Izette’s birthday on the 20th of September with a weekend of fun packed activities which included a cooking class on the Friday evening in Somerset West. We learned a thing or two about preparing mouth-watering cuisine plus how to wolf down a 7 course meal in just a few hours!

With birthday fever running high in her family, it was also her daughter, Elsjé’s turn (born last year on the 19th of September) to enjoy her first “Happy Feet” birthday party! The theme was actually chosen by one of her “birthday guests” who noticed the adorable (and delicious) penguin cupcakes. He stated in raptures to his mother “look there’s Happy Feet!”

Two BIG Hooray’s for Izette and Elsjé!

"...It's a boy!"

With a demanding season lying ahead, we’re welcoming a new member to the Leipzig family.

Neil Jordaan will be taking charge of the logistical aspects and lend a helping hand at our various weddings & functions. Unfortunately Neil just missed our “funky-floral photo shoot” but he doesn’t seem too unhappy about it… so this is a CHEERFUL WELCOME to Neil from all the girls here at Leipzig!

Something sweet...

Lize Marie Daneel & Tim Lake – 20 September

The day was once again blessed with sunny skies. Vrede & Lust provided the ideal backdrop for a ceremony outside and the reception was picture perfect, painted in crisp white, plum & cerise pink shades. Think hat boxes, draped in rich material, overflowing with fresh, fragrant flowers, a mouth-watering 4-tier wedding cake…and a table dedicated to satisfy any sweet tooth. Truly, this was the wedding of every girl's dreams!

The wedding cake was made by Wades Cakes and we can't wait to see the pictures from Jean Pierre Uys, the official photographer of the evening. In the meantime, have a look at some of our own pictures we took while setting up...

...so here it is!

Our eagerly awaited pictures from Christine…brought together in a beautiful collage. We had tons of fun while shooting this and even Anuk, in charge of security here at Leipzig, gleamed in front of the lenses. She seems to be building quite a fan base for her “unique look”!

"...chin up, shoulders back and smile – it’s Spring”

Spring marks the beginning of a new and prosperous season.

For us at Leipzig it’s not only associated with a series of pastel pretty weddings, but it also marks the awakening of our updated website & blossoming blog.

We decided to celebrate our enthusiasm for spring flowers by welcoming our close friend and exceptional photographer, Christine Meintjes to our studio for a fun & fanciful shoot. Karla Oettler, from Absolute Weddings took to the part of make-up artist... and our hair?

Well, lets just say ...watch this space!

What's your style?

Bright and bold....

... or soft and flowing

Spring is here!

With the fresh new Spring season in our midst,

make sure you add a splash of soft, pastel colours

to your wedding decor. It's the ideal time for a

tented wedding between lavender fields or just outside on

a farm with picturesque views!
