In earlier centuries, these disc-shaped beads were made from shiny metals. Today, sequins are most often made from plastic. They look just as glamorous as ever, though!
We love the sparkle they give, and since we’re back in the 20s, why not reimagine sequins? Especially for evening weddings, sequins can create a beautiful and striking effect.
Take a look at these for some glam-spiration:

As the coronavirus pandemic spreads, weddings as we know them are being forcibly put on hold. That doesn’t mean, however, that you can’t tie the knot at all.…
Across the globe, healthcare workers are working tirelessly to help contain the spread of coronavirus. With all the hard work they are putting in, Spanish luxury bridal group Pronovias wanted to do something to say thank you.
In an effort to recognise all that they do, Pronovias is offering engaged healthcare workers the world over the chance to wear a Pronovias gown, free of charge. Any hospital-employed bride-to-be, from doctor to nurse to janitor, is eligible. This forms part of their Heroes Collection, which is dedicated to all the healthcare workers.
Pronovias Group Artistic Director Alessandra Rinaudo curated the collection, saying, “It is an honor to show my support and raise awareness for all of these women doing their best to overcome this pandemic. Love will conquer all.”

The 21-day lockdown in South Africa to curb the spread of coronavirus has effectively brought social gatherings of any kind to a halt during this time. However, some people don’t take the lockdown seriously and continue to go about life as normal.
A couple in Nseleni, KwaZulu-Natal decided that their wedding day would still go forward, despite the government banning unnecessary social gatherings.
According to SAPS national spokesperson Brigadier Vish Naidoo, about 50 people gathered to witness the big day. The police received a tip-off that the wedding was happening and showed up to break it up.
The bridal couple were caught red-handed and in a video, they can be seen getting into the back of a police vehicle.

Naidoo says the couple have contravened the Disaster Management Act, and everyone that was present will be questioned.
“People are still taking chances, not realising the seriousness of this virus,” Naidoo said.
“The prosecutor will guide us on exactly which charges will be preferred against them. I don’t think we can be expecting any explanation from them at this point in time unless we have spoken to the senior prosecutor.”
