“"Low mixed arrangements of hydrangeas, Bombay roses, lisianthus, garden roses, and elegant magenta orchids added incredible pops of colour to the chic table setting."”

The making of a designer wedding means that we assist couples through the conceptualisation and design phase to interpret their individual ideas and to make sure that the day reflects their individuality. By carefully combining personalised and sentimental details with specially designed stationery and exciting décor concepts, the detail truly makes a statement! For Monika & Ronan’s recent December wedding in Paarl on an estate dressed with Jacaranda trees in full bloom, the detail came to life in wonderful tints and shades of purple, violet, magenta and plum; mixed amongst delicate pinks and white to soften the look. Silver was brought though as a strong contrast and accent colour with the luxurious addition of silver table cloths, exclusive silver charger plates and Tiffany chairs. The wedding stationery by Lara’s Design’s was a creative mix of modern canvas and Perspex, paired alongside luxurious letter-pressed menus with personalised ribbon, and thoughtful gifts at each place setting of colourful macaroons, also personalised with a thank you note from the couple. The guest book become a working piece of art where guests would “create” leaves on a tree by inking and stamping their fingers and leaving a message.

Low mixed arrangements of hydrangeas, Bombay roses, lisianthus, garden roses, and elegant magenta orchids added incredible pops of colour to the chic table setting. Lighting on the tables comprising of cylindrical glass vases with floating candles, hurricane vases with purple pillar candles and low glass votives ensured a romantic ambience once the sun had set. A fun cluster of white and purple Chinese lanterns suspended above a classic white and black checkered dance floor by Something-Different, created the perfect mood for this South African and Irish group to dance until “the wee hours of the morning”.
