I met Elmarie years ago, by chance, in Kleinmond during a weekend break. Our travelling party was more than happy to sleep on the dunes, but Elmarie would have none of that and offered us accommodation. It was the start of a wonderul friendship. Unfortunately as it happens in life our paths took us in different direction until another chance meeting during our 2009 FAB Bridal Expo. Elmarie,

We are so thrilled to showcase one of our recently married couples, Lelani & Pieter. The couple said their 'I Do's' in the beautiful setting of Beloftebos, Stanford. The STUNNING photographs taken by Sybrand Cillie.  This is my favourite...I love the detail of the forest surrounding the couple!

Please welcome the new addition (to the ever growing)  font database... Reaching a total of more than 1000 glyphs, this font is Maximiliano R. Sproviero’s gift of the year. The aim of the designer was once more to give the user the chance to play and travel from very formal and conservative letterforms to the amazing world of swashes and flourishes. Possibilities of alternating and ligating

My apologies for being a bit absent ... we've been so busy! Not that I am complaining. With that said you can imagine what our workspace looked like after a lot of deadlines, the FAB Bridal Expo and new bits & pieces for our upcoming DIY range! Unfortunately I did not take any photos of our FAB Bridal Expo display... to be quite honest I was not feeling to 'fab' - having less than 18hrs sleep

Citing exotic destinations like Africa, India, Peru and Turkey as inspiration for spring 2011, designers continue to satisfy consumers’ need to escape everyday challenges with intriguing color combinations that transport them to foreign lands.  “The colors designers have chosen for the spring season present an interesting marriage of unexpected warm and cool tones,” said Leatrice Eiseman,

Taking a break last weekend with good friends was much needed and has contributed to the Friday Fun post this week. (a bit late I must admit ... due to another internet melt-down). I very rarely comment on label designs ... due to the fact that they are more than often just functional and not extremely creative. BUT then I stumbled (I did not have one sip of wine ... yet) onto the Fairview La

100% Fun, creative and so versatile. Vinyl art stickers offer that instant lift to a bare wall, floor or any other surface... (I tackled our fridge today!). Application is so easy and can be done by simply following a couple of  instructions. The 'low-tack' variations can be applied and removed when needed without damaging any painted surface... this makes it a great way to display your Seating

The tradition of distributing wedding favours is a very old one. It is believed that the first wedding favour, common amongst European aristocrats, was known as a bonbonniere. A bonbonniere is a small trinket box made of crystal, porcelain, and/or precious stones. The contents of these precious boxes were generally sugar cubes or delicate confections, which symbolize wealth and royalty. Sugar was

One of our favourite recent weddings is that of Elzaan & Denver. The Ceremony & Reception took place in the picturesque Franschhoek Valley at L'Ermitage. Handmade pearl paper, imported diamante buckles, crystal and cream shimmer paper... right through to the final details on the gift boxes for female guests, truly made this one of the most beautiful weddings we had the privilege to work on!We

Our gift catelogue will be launched this week! I am super excited about all the items. Majority made with love right here

1. Start off with a paper bag or any sheet of paper you wish to use... remember it is always better to recycle what you have than to purchase it new. (I think newspaper flowers will look amazing in a black & white colour scheme!)2. Draw a circle (the larger the circle, the leafier the flower) and slowly taper it in to the centre like a spiral, keeping the lines about 2cm away from each other.3.
