A sneak peek...

When looking at all the questionnaires streaming into our inbox, it's clear that this holiday has seen many engagements. It is without a doubt the busiest time on our wedding calendar as we find ourselves dashing between venues and meetings with prospective couples for the coming season. With that said, the month of March is approaching fast and before you start to feel neglected, we feature a sneak preview of the working progress for one of this weekend’s weddings. Intrigued? To see the bigger picture you would unfortunately have to wait and watch this space…

Happy Valentines Day

There is an art to the act of giving - roses, a box of chocolates or a handmade card creatively cladded in red .... of course, there is just no other way to go when it's the 14th of Febuary!

So, in the spirit of love, we celebrate the day with all those hopeless romantics, just remeber to celebrate it for the right reasons... even if you are not Cupid's biggest fan, we hope you're encouraged to bestow kind acts of emotion, love and gratitude towards all your loved ones!

Turn your wedding inside out by bringing the outside in…

Living in Dubai, Sheena Lee and Adrian's wedding was an intimate celebration with only the closest family and friends attending. They were eager to take advantage of South Africa’s scenic mountains, vineyards and surroundings as a backdrop and so it came as no surprise that the ceremony and reception was to be held outside at Franschhoek Country House and Villa’s. The look and feel of the occasion was to be natural, fresh and simple. We incorporated soft sage green “mock-silk” table linen to add more greenery and elegance to the surroundings and informally arranged the tables with alternating cream and pottery containers which were filled with a selection of “garden” flowers like lavender, white roses, lisianthus and some dodder. Three thumbs up Sheena Lee for going green! Pictures taken by Kate from Storybook Photography.

New beginnings...

No doubt that with the New Year we all have the urge to turn a new page and begin afresh with a list of resolutions. If you are planning your wedding during this time, you will most probably be searching for new and inspiring ideas, so once you have identified your desired theme & style, try to think out of the box to incorporate these elements in the smaller detail as well.

Strings of ribbon in your colour scheme can be a striking alternative for fairy lights and a post card for each guest rather than a guest book, adds a personal touch. Traditional name cards can be replaced with a personalized broach which guests can wear during the evening and it surely eases the effort of remembering everyone’s name. Why not make a stop at tin town and devise their creations into an interesting boutonnière or corsage? Titivate with chilli’s or treats and a tea cup can make a beautiful container for delicate flowers.

The sky is the limit once you start to unleash your mind… so see where takes you

and make sure you have fun along the way.
