With only three months to plan a wedding, we worked extremely hard in getting everything sorted. Nevi and Craig made all decisions regarding the wedding together. It was extremely important to both of them to express their unique personalities, as well as their deep connection to each other.

Nevi and Craig were married on 20 September. They exchanged their holy vows at the Catholic Church, and chose to celebrate their special event at the Shepstone Gardens.

I  was visiting mom’s vegetable garden and spotted her chernobyl spring onions overgrowing in the far corner. Out came the scissors and I happily snipped the ball-shaped buds of these unusually large species. On the way in I passed by the lavender bush and out came the scissors again.

I made this arrangement in minutes (without prior flower-arrangement knowledge), so I’m thinking: maybe this kitchen garden look could go with my Mad Hatter’s Tea Party theme?

I am a professional wedding planner and would like to dispel a few myths surrounding wedding planners.

I want to clarify the ‘professional’ part of the job description. Professional in the fact that it is my full-time job in assisting clients with their wedding plans. It is a lot more than playing with crystals, ribbons and flowers. This is not a glorified hobby. I take my job and responsibilities very seriously. I run a legitimate business through a registered company, I have studied, I have gained experienced, I have a website and even a dedicated work space. I have experience, recommendations and an impressive portfolio. I have an incredible collection of wedding books/magazine than all of the Exclusive Books and CNAs in South Africa. I am constantly researching, innovating and implementing trends, styles and fashions in the weddings I plan.

Bling Cake Toppers

Wow, feels like forever since I last posted on here sorry guys.  Been diagnosed with a baby lol! and just got over all the sickness and tiredness but promise to load more in the future.

 So this is my new fab find:) they certainly didn’t have these unusual toppers when I got married  I have noticed a big trend in the last few months for unusual cake toppers and the ones with the couples fishing, shopping etc are so expensive and I think are R750!!!!  So I thought I would look around and see what else was out there.

I looked at ordering one for my friends wedding off a website in London and they were 99 POUNDS – ouch!  So I thought I would get someone to make them for me
Email me: mrsmack@iafrica.com if you would like some more info.
They really are divine and you can custom make them
Blinged with crystals makes these initial cake toppers are a fantastic way to enhance any special cake whether it be a wedding cake, an anniversary cake or even a special birthday cake. This initial could show your married name initial and two smaller initials to show the first name initials of the bride and groom.

Wedding cakes are important parts of a wedding celebration. It is something that represents your style, and it adds pizzazz to your wedding celebration. Finding the right cake topper for the perfect cake is not going to be hard anymore. With these Bling Crystal Monogram Cake Toppers your cake will be the one of the many parts highlighting you special day. Each Blinged Monogram Cake topper is a custom art piece, and is handmade.
