• From KFC to a Toni Braxton concert, South Africans have a knack for choosing unusual locations to propose. This man dove headfirst into love with a memorable underwater proposal that has since gone viral.

    In a one-minute video posted to Dala U Crew on Facebook, a romantic underwater proposal is captured. The video, currently sitting on 37k views, shows a diver holding a sign that reads “Trish,” before revealing another sign with “Will you marry me?” written on it. The camera then zooms out to reveal a man proposing.

    The crowd breaks out into applause when the presumed Trish says yes.

    If the wedding invitation states ‘cocktail attire’ as the dress code, it means you are expected to wear sophisticated clothing that is neither too formal nor too casual. This means that you can play with the colours and accessories you choose to wear. Oftentimes, it can be tricky to figure out what to wear. Don’t worry we’ve got you covered.

    Men

    Stick to wearing a dark suit with either a white or colour shirt, or a suit jacket and slacks. You can accessorise with a fun tie or pocket square in bold colours or patterns.

    Women

    Anything between a knee-length dress to just shorter than an evening dress is appropriate. You can also wear a jumpsuit, dressy suit or a nice blouse with dress pants or a skirt.

    Most brides ask their younger nieces, cousins or even siblings to be their flower girls. This is one fun adventure since they are usually quite young. So, no competition for you. Just cuteness overload. Make sure they look as stylish as you! Here’s what’s trending for the young ones.

    Coloured waistbands

    If you want the girls’ dresses to be white, why not add a splash of colour that ties in with the scheme? Waistbands are in, and the bow at the back is still a favourite.

     

    Mullet tutus

    How pretty is this? Ballerina meets modern. We love the fun feel it adds.

     

    Sequins

    Shine bright like a diamond with sequined dresses. Little girls love them (and grown-ups do too).

     

    Open back

    If you want your flower girls to look super stylish, go for open back designs. This will complete the theme nicely if your dress has one too.

     

    Tea length

    This is a great solution to prevent kids from tripping over long dresses on the aisle. Still elegant, just a tad more practical.
