Marble has been having a moment for the last few years. From home design and fashion, this unique metamorphic rock has inspired an enduring trend. It has even entered the wedding world.
The best thing about marble is that it works for many different aesthetics, depending on what you pair it with. You can truly go as hard or as subtle as you want. Add bright botanicals for a garden party, or roses for a romantic look. Opt for unique geometric shapes for a more modern take or a geode texture for a more alternative feel.
Here are some magnificent marble cakes to inspire you:

A wedding is the perfect time to put on your dancing shoes and to cut loose. However, not everyone is that keen to bust out the moves. Some…
Former Miss and Mr South Africa, Melinda Bam and Adriaan Bergh celebrated their sixth wedding anniversary on November 9. She took to social media and wrote him a sweet heartwarming message in honour of the occasion.
“Life cannot be more colourful and fragrant than with you, my husband”, she wrote.
The pair have always given us reason to believe in fairy tales. They met back in 2008 at University and Adriaan instantly knew that Melinda was the girl for him.
He told YOU magazine that when he saw her, he told his friend that she would be his girl. He kept to his words and married her in 2014.
Adriaan posted on his Instagram and said “Life is a song, provided you have the right partner. About 3,155,760 minutes ago I married my dream wife, Princess @melindabam. Today I can honestly say, our marriage is my very greatest blessing. It’s special to be able to say, my Wife is my best friend”

A wedding bouquet should reflect your personality and fit the theme, but not steal your thunder. We love the elegance of white flowers, and the simplicity it brings.
Here are some ides if you’re thinking to go with an all-white bouquet. If white on its own is too plain for you, add some subtle pastel colours to the mix. Also feel free to experiment with accessories to add a special touch to the flowers like dried botanical pieces, wispy feathers, and jewels.
Take a look at these riveting bouquets.

A wedding hosted in Long Island, New York has resulted in dozens of people testing positive for COVID-19 and over 150 people needing to quarantine. Several local schools have temporarily closed to contain the spread.
North Fork Country Club, where the event was hosted on October 17, has had its liquor licence revoked by the state of New York. This comes after they hosted a wedding with 113 guests in attendance, way above the 50-person threshold allowed under New York Governor Andrew Cuomo’s executive order limiting gatherings.
They also face $30,000 (R463 962) in fines due to “multiple counts of failure to comply” with COVID-19 regulations.
Since the wedding, about 30 people tested positive for COVID-19, including three employees at the country club and a wedding vendor. An estimated 159 people who were present may have been exposed to the virus, and have gone into a two-week quarantine. Multiple schools in the area even temporarily shut down over fears of a further outbreak.
“As we have seen in weddings and similar events across the country during this pandemic, large gatherings can easily be super-spreader events, too often with dire consequences,” Cuomo said. “Hosting one of these events after all New York has been through is obnoxious and irresponsible—not to mention illegal.”
The tri-state area, which includes New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut, is bracing for a second wave of the virus. New citywide restrictions have been imposed in New Jersey and may soon be imposed in New York, which could include a shutdown of nonessential businesses if the average infection rate continues to climb as it has been over the last week, according to the city’s health department.
