    Adorable sweetheart tables to share with your special person

    No Comments

    Weddings are exciting days for family and friends to come together to celebrate love. All this attention can become a bit overwhelming for couples, however.

    Couples wanting a little bit of privacy will benefit from a sweetheart table. A sweetheart table is a small table designed to only seat the newly married couple.  This setup allows newlyweds to have a special moment away from guests. It offers intimacy and alone time, which is so valuable especially as guests will be swarming with their well wishes.

    Extend the decor of the overall wedding day with your sweetheart table, and go big with unique chairs, awnings and floral detail. Remember, the day is all about you so have some fun! Here are a few ideas to inspire you:

    Decor ideas for intimate wedding tables

    No Comments

    We predict micro weddings will be a massive trend for the remainder of 2020 and even 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. With strict regulations on guest lists, couples will have to be much more discerning when it comes to their wedding party.

    Micro weddings may seem limiting but they actually allow for so much more opportunity because your budget doesn’t have to stretch to accommodate a large guest list. With less guests, your money can truly be spent on those luxurious and special parts of a wedding that you might not have been able to afford otherwise.

    Just because you’ve only got one or two tables does not mean that they have to be boring. Now is the time to go bold with design. Think of extravagant overhead installations, unique lighting and explosions of floral bouquets.

    Here are a few ways to make your intimate wedding table look grand:

    Socially distanced weddings in the time of coronavirus

    No Comments

    Weddings as we know them are no longer, thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic. In some countries like South Africa, weddings are not currently allowed as they constitute as public gatherings. Other countries have slowly reopened the industry and allowed lovers to tie the knot in a safe and hygienic way.

    Wedding vendors have had to get creative with their offerings to accommodate this new way of life. No longer can we kiss and hug to celebrate each other, or sit close to one another.

    Taking simple precautions can make a big difference. Wedding planners must now incorporate social distancing measures into the big day to ensure the safety of all guests. If this is not done, you run the risk of spreading the virus further, which we’ve seen happen in Kwazulu-Natal and in India.

    Once weddings are allowed again in South Africa, we expect to see aspects like distanced seating, custom masks for your guests, and sanitising stations at every event. Here’s how planners have been doing it around the world.

    Mask on:

    Fun and unique escort card ideas to impress your guests

    No Comments

    Escort cards are an adorable way to continue your wedding theme and personalise your wedding seating. They are the informal sister of place cards, and direct guests to a table rather than a seat.

    The joy of escort cards is that in many cases, they can easily be DIY’ed and can also double as a wedding favour, depending what you go with. Either way, your guests can take them home and will always remember your big day.

    This fun design element allows brides and grooms to get creative and expand their theme. For example, Christmas ornaments work perfectly for December weddings, while mini marble tiles are elegant and sophisticated.

    We’ve gathered some fun, unique ideas for escort cards that fit a variety of themes, from quirky to botanical to glam. Take a look below:

    How to have an out-of-this-world Star Wars wedding

    No Comments

    If your love is out of this world, a Star Wars wedding theme may be perfect for you. Lovers of the iconic franchise can easily incorporate elements of it into their big day in both over-the-top and subtle ways.

    Depending on your style and preference, you can go big or small. You could have Darth Vader officiate your wedding, or have your bridesmaids carry lightsabers instead of bouquets. Or, you could be more demure and simply have references to the film added to your seating chart or wedding cake.

    Here are some ideas to include this theme into your decor in a variety of ways.

    Earthy wedding decor will give your special day a fresh feel. We love green for its endless potential, as it can pair beautifully with almost any other colour, or be gorgeous on its own.

    Remember not to mix and match too many different tones of green. Choose one or two varieties for a sophisticated yet fun look. Green can be whatever you want it: Vibrant and bright or calm and tranquil.

    Take a look at these stunning green pieces to get inspired:

    How to choose your wedding colours

    No Comments

    To some, wedding colours may seem like a trivial topic. However, it is actually a tremendously important part of the planning process and in fact not much can be decided on, in terms of decor, if you don’t know what your colour scheme is.

    It’s not as easy as it sounds, though. While it should be based on your general preferred style and personal taste as a couple, you can’t simply throw together your favourite colour and your partners favourite colour and be done with it. That might lead you to a rather odd looking wedding! Don’t risk it.

    Your bridal party’s attire, table settings, flowers, and other decorative details all have to be synced to the same colour scheme. It’s likely it’ll be tough to get this sorted out if you’ve chosen colours that don’t match or even worse, if you haven’t decided on wedding colours at all.

    Despite all of this, you shouldn’t let it stress you out! Follow these simple steps and you’ll decide on your wedding colours in no time:

    – Start simple

    If there is one colour you’ve always wanted to feature in your wedding, start with that. By beginning with a base colour, the rest of your decisions will come much more easily. If you don’t have a base colour in mind just yet, that should be your first task. Look for inspiration where ever you can find it.

    – Think theme 

    A dramatic theme calls for dramatic colours, while a more low-key theme, like a bohemian style for example, calls for toned-down colours. Consider what you’d like your wedding to look like in terms of theme, and base your colours on that.

    – Season and style 

    We all know as seasons change, so do styles and colours. Some colours are best used in specific seasons. For example, coral works great in summer while silver stuns during the winter time. Thinking seasonally can easily lead you to your perfect wedding colours.

    Additionally, you’ll want your colour scheme to work across all parts of your wedding. So you’ll have to think about whether your colours are seasonally appropriate for your bridal party’s outfits too!

    – Venue 

    If you’ve already booked your venue, or have one in mind, consider what it looks like. Is it an outdoor venue with lots of greenery, or is it a warehouse with empty walls? These factors can inform your decisions on colour choices too. In fact, they can make or break your colour choices! For example, if your venue has walls decked out with wallpaper in intricate patters, it already gives a busy feel to the room. If you go with colours which are too bright, or decide to have too many different colours, it could start to look a bit messy.

    – The colour wheel 

    Don’t forget about this useful tool for colour co-ordination. The basics of the colour wheel are that colours which are opposite to each other on the wheel go well together. If you’re having trouble deciding on a second colour, consult this trusted resource.
