After a hiatus from print, Wedding Etc is back with a beautiful 178-page issue designed to inspire every couple, no matter where they are in their wedding journey. From finding your dream venue and choosing your wedding-day fragrance to planning the perfect honeymoon, here’s a sneak peek at what you’ll find inside.
We all know how stressful planning a wedding can be, making wedding planning burnout a very real possibility. Whether you’re trying not to pull out your hair as…
Every wedding journey is filled with details — the dress, the flowers, the venue, the photographer, the makeup artist. But there is one detail many women leave too late: their skin.
Whether you are the bride, the mother of the bride, a bridesmaid, or a special guest, glowing skin does not happen on the morning of the wedding. It begins weeks and months before, with the right routine, the right guidance, and consistency.
Pharma PH Skin was created for real skin concerns — pigmentation, acne, sensitivity, dryness, dullness, and signs of ageing. Founded by skincare formulator Tanya Groenewald, the range was born in the treatment room after years of working with real clients and seeing how deeply skin affects confidence.
Because when your skin feels healthy, calm and radiant, makeup looks better. But more importantly, you feel better.
At The Neon Salon in Centurion, Tanya and her team use advanced AI skin scan technology to help clients understand what their skin truly needs before a big event. For those outside Centurion, the online BuyBeauty.co.za skin quiz offers a simple way to find the right Pharma PH Skin routine from home.
Pharma PH Skin is not about overnight miracles or quick fixes. It is about preparing the skin properly. Restoring the barrier, supporting hydration, improving radiance, and helping skin function at its best over time.
For brides wanting a smoother, brighter complexion before the big day, or mothers who want to feel confident in photos, Pharma PH Skin offers targeted routines designed around individual skin concerns.
From glow-enhancing serums and gentle exfoliators to barrier-supporting creams and SPF protection, each product is formulated with one principle in mind: healthy skin first.
Through ALIGN Image Consulting & Coaching, Tanya and her team also helps women understand that confidence is not only about beautiful skin, but about how you show up in every season of life. From personal style and image consulting to coaching and self-development, ALIGN supports women in feeling confident, polished and authentically themselves, whether they are preparing for a wedding, a special event, or simply stepping into a new chapter with renewed confidence.
Because wedding beauty is not only about how you look on the day.
It is about walking into that moment feeling calm, confident, radiant, and beautifully yourself.

When we think of a wedding toast, the mind often leaps to the sound of a popping cork and the effervescence of champagne. However, as modern weddings evolve to become more inclusive, health-conscious, and culturally diverse, a new star has emerged on the tables of the world’s most prestigious venues. Inah Superior Grape Juice, established in 2006, is redefining the “non-alcoholic” category by offering a beverage that possesses the complexity, prestige, and sensory depth of a fine vintage wine.
For the couple planning their special day, the beverage selection is about more than just quenching thirst; it is about creating a cohesive, high-end experience for every guest, regardless of their lifestyle or dietary choices. From the ancient soils of South Africa to the dinner tables of the global elite, Inah is the sophisticated answer to the modern wedding toast.
A Legacy Rooted in the Western Cape
The journey of Inah begins in the heart of South Africa’s wine country: the Western Cape. This region is world-renowned for its terroir, where ancient soils and a unique climate provide the perfect environment for premium grapes to flourish. Inah’s philosophy is “Birthed in nature, rooted in goodness, and extracted for enjoyment”.
These grapes are harvested at their absolute prime, ensuring they are filled with the rich flavours and heart-protecting antioxidants that only mature wine grapes can provide. Unlike mass-produced juices that often rely on concentrates and added sugars, Inah is crafted from 100% pure cultivar grapes. This dedication to quality ensures that the final product isn’t just a drink, but a tribute to the natural beauty of its origin.
Mastering “Wine Complexity”
One of the most frequent challenges for wedding planners is finding a non-alcoholic option that feels “grown-up” and pairs well with a gourmet menu. Inah solves this by pioneering a “wine complexity” in its grape juices. Through unique processing methods, Inah extracts the maximum benefits and flavour profiles from each crop.
The result is a beverage that offers a rich, sensory experience characterized by earthy tones and a velvet finish on the palate. When poured into a crystal glass, Inah’s appearance is indistinguishable from a prestigious wine, ensuring that guests who choose not to consume alcohol still feel fully integrated into the celebration.
A Varietal for Every Wedding Moment
Just as a sommelier pairs different wines with different courses, Inah offers a range of varietals that allow for a curated beverage program throughout your wedding day:
The Welcome: Rossore Superior Sparkling
First impressions are everything. As guests arrive at your reception, a glass of Rossore offers a crisp, refreshing, and zesty greeting. Made from the finest Colombar grapes, this pink sparkling juice is tart and uplifting. It is the perfect companion for pre-reception canapés, particularly sushi, ceviche, or light vegetable appetizers.
The Cocktail Hour: Merlot and Sauvignon Blanc
For a relaxed afternoon cocktail hour, the Merlot varietal evokes the feeling of late summer fruits. It features sensual flavours of plum and blackcurrant, making it smooth and easy-drinking—a guaranteed favourite for a celebratory atmosphere. Both international award winning varietals.
There’s a version of wedding planning that exists online where every decision feels effortless. The moodboards match, the budgets magically stretch and nobody’s aunt suddenly remembers three cousins…
