2013 Wedding Trends

Researching wedding trends for 2013 has been so rewarding - there are some beautiful things that can be done to make your wedding super special and unique.

Here are my top 10 trends for 2013 - I will be featuring each of them in a seperate post soon

 

PRINTS

1920's VINTAGE

RAINBOW

BRAIDS

BIRDS

LASER CUT

BACKDROPS

GARLANDS & BUNTING

OMBRE

MINT

Teal & White Weddings

On Trend: Ombre Wedding Cakes

How beautiful are these cakes? The Ombre (French term translated means 'shaded') trend is huge and gorgeous and delicious - I would so have done something like this!

 

 

Pintastic!

I am sure each and every bride has got herself addicted to Pinterest - which was not around whe I was planning 4 years ago *sob*. Pinterest gives you such a vast amount of inspiration, and you can probably find someone with your exact likes who have pinned an inspirational image that you'll just love. 

If you haven't signed up yet, what are you waiting for?! Go check it out (after you have scrolled through my blog of course ;-p)

I am back! Well, sort of..

 

Hi everyone, 

 

I guess wedding blogs by nature are a bit temporary - whilst you are planning your big day it is all you can think of, and afterwards you only think of these things again when you help someone else plan theirs.

But today I looked at the stats of this blog, and realized that it still gets a lot of traffic and I will TRY to post some new things every once in a while.

Thank you to everyone who has visited in the last 3 years while I have been busy playing wifey and mommy :-)

 

So if you are currently planning your wedding, congratulations! Come back for some inspiration whenever you need!

 

 

 

First ever online wedding expo!

What a fabulous idea!

South African brides (and those getting married in SA), have a look at the first online wedding expo at http://www.expo.weddingvenueguide.co.za/

Also, for venue ideas in SA  head over to www.weddingvenueguide.co.za for an extensive list of venues, and if you are looking for some stunning wedding favours, maybe you will find that special something at www.wedding-favours.co.za

Guess what?!

I know, I know... I haven't posted in AGES and now, out of the blue, here I am back in the land of blog :-)

And with HUGE news! My baby sister is getting married in September!! And I am matron-of-honor (is that the right word??)

So, here starts a new avenue of exploration: the planning of the kitchen tea / bachelorette  party for someone else.

Vicky (my sis) wants to have a high tea inspired girlie affair, all pink and rosey! I have been looking at some venues to host the tea party and I just fell in love with The Succulent Cafe in Northcliff, Johannesburg. What a girlie, beautiful, pink heaven! The eclectic design and yummy food just makes me swoon!

Have a look at some pictures:

Kind thanks for use of the pics to:

Tell me about your kitchen tea? Who went high tea, and who went raunchy bachelorettes? Or did you do something in between :-)
