After the romantic wedding, comes the romantic honeymoon. Whether you’re jet-setting overseas for an island getaway or heading up the coast of your homeland, there are bound to…
When one thinks of the drinks offered at a bachelorette party, the classics like vodka-cranberry come to mind. Instead of sticking to the obvious, mix things up with these fabulous cocktail recipes.
1. Alcoholic slush
This one is pretty easy and can be changed to suit various tastes. Whether you prefer vodka, tequila or both, a boozy slush is always a crowd-pleaser. There are equipment companies that hire out these machines, so you don’t have to do all the work. An alcoholic slush is perfect for a summer bachelorette party.
2. Candy floss heaven
To add a touch of flair to your cocktails, add some candy floss to the rim of the glass. It not only looks great but once the candy floss dissolves, it makes the drink taste even better.
3. Solid cocktails
Who doesn’t enjoy a fruity popsicle with a touch of booze? Opt for your cocktail in frozen form and your guests will be over the moon. You can create a delicious mixture of your preference, poured into a popsicle mould and left to freeze for a few hours. Voila! A unique bachelorette cocktail.
4. Mini cocktails
Served in a tot glass, a mini cocktail is similar to a shooter. The saying “dynamite comes in small packages” rings true with these tasty and tiny drinks. Packing a punch per gulp, mini cocktails are guaranteed to bring an element of fun to the party.
5. Healthy imitation
Soak your favourite fruits in alcohol and serve them on a platter or as an additive to a mix of your choosing. A popular fruit to soak is watermelon. There are two ways to spike this fruit. The first is by cutting a hole into the top and sticking a bottle of booze into the gap. Allow the bottle to drain overnight. The second method is to cut the fruit up and pour the alcohol over the pieces. While a bit messier, it gets the job done.

There are so many ways to make your cocktails interesting and flamboyant, without having to go to the extreme. Remember, if you are going to serve drinks with straws, make sure to avoid plastic straws and rather use paper or biodegradable straws instead.

Traditionally, it has always been that the man proposes to the woman. But in this day and age where gender roles are changing and same-sex relationships are legal…
American socialite Amanda Hearst and Norwegian film director Joachim Rønning had a four day nuptial celebration. The wedding ceremony took place on August 2, 2019. The romantic love affair was held in California at the Hearst Castle. Amanda is the great-granddaughter of American publishing mogul William Randolph Hearst, and Joachim is known for directing Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales (2017) and Maleficent: Mistress of Evil (2019).
Micaela Erlanger was Amanda’s stylist for the big weekend. The rehearsal dinner entailed a Viktor and Rolf Soir dress, which was a beautiful white garment that was paired with a Judith Leiber Crystal Castle clutch and Sergio Rossi shoes.
Amanda wore an Oscar de la Renta gown for the ceremony. The bride requested that her gown be completely sustainable. This meant that nothing was imported or specially requested and all materials were sourced locally or taken from the designer’s own supplies. Even the boning of the dress was reused as it was taken from a previous gown. The silk was bought from the Taroni mill, which the Green Carpet Fashion Awards in 2017 announced as their ‘sustainable producer’ winner.
After the ‘I dos’ Amanda slipped into a Galvan halter dress for the reception. To end off the night, she wore a Giambattista Valli couture dress, and on Saturday Amanda turned heads with yet another Oscar de la Renta dress.

Amanda and Joachim didn’t have a typical and ordinary rehearsal dinner though. To incorporate a bit of Norwegian flair on the day, guests were encouraged to visit a reindeer that had a special invitation to the party.
The Hearst Castle wasn’t just any venue for the happy couple. The castle was partly designed and conceptualised by Amanda’s great grandfather, William Randolph Hearst. The estate is a national historic landmark and belongs to the state of California.

Planning the perfect proposal is nerve-wracking, exciting and maybe even a little overwhelming, all bundled up neatly into one big knot in your stomach. Throw in an unfamiliar…
Leona and her longterm boyfriend Dennis married on July 27 in Tuscany. The wedding was held at Sting’s Italian residence Villa Il Palagio. The happy couple shared their beautiful nuptials with 180 loved ones which included Keisha Buchanan and Jermain Jackman.
They explained that they chose Sting’s residence because of the homely feel. Villa Il Palagio is a 16th century style estate and has been owned by Sting and his wife Trudie Styler since 1997. It features 865 acres, a giant chessboard, outdoor pool, olive and orange trees and cypress-lined driveway. The reception was held in Sting’s recording studio.
Leona had three outfits for her big day. For the ceremony she wore a sheer full-length white dress that was designed by Israeli designer Mira Zwillinger. The stunning gown featured a lace bodice with floral embroidery and mesh detail. Her dinner outfit included a pink embellished tulle gown. Finally she wore a crystal jumpsuit to party the night away.
Leona and Dennis had a vegan menu along with a wedding cake. The cake was made by Sicilian dessert stylist and pastry chef Marco Failla. He created a tiered millefeuille cake that was finished with fresh berries, flowers and 24k gold leaf. The millefeuille also included Sicilian caramelized almonds and salted dark chocolate cream.
The love birds met in 2010 on Leona’s Labyrinth tour where Dennis Jauch was a backup dancer.
