Tropical Fun

So my friends and I are having turns to host each other for a meal at our homes. Like the concept from the British TV series, 'Come Dine with Me'. Late last year we all did a road trip to Rosetta (almost to Mooi River) for a lovely meal at my friend Zaheda's house. She nominated me next so I will be hosting the girls for lunch at my place this Sunday. I wanted to celebrate what's left of summer, so I decided on a tropical theme. Here is what I came up with for the invite...

Dark olive green chevron, glittery golds and a bright pink flamingo. Different font styles were used to add to the playfulness of the invite. 

You're invited for some Tropical Fun, Let's enjoy some hot Summer sun!

We'll be posting decor pics from the Tropical Lunch soon! So keep watching this space!

Bridesmaid's Pamper Day

December 24th 2012, Monday morning...

Officially the start of wedding week!! 

What better way to calm the nerves and kick off a roller coaster week than with manis and pedis with the girls, and some good food too!

Bridesmaids Pamper Day...

Soft pinks and glittery golds...

The whimsical backboard on the feature table.

A pretty pink drink is what we called the drinks. 

And we prettied it up some more with these beaut straw flags.

The sparkly food tent cards. 

We hand-glittered some cardboard to create the sparkly look of the tags for this event.  

Glittery heart cupcake toppers and some mini cheese cakes.

My sister made these chocolate mini wedding cakes and wrapped them up in gold bows.

We made take-home boxes for each of the guests to fill with treats to snack on later. 

The foodies...

Favour bags

They were each filled with a foot file, personalised facecloth, head towel and a lavender sugar scrub made by my clever Mommy. 

The beautiful bridesmaids with their goodie bags.

Bridesmaids Pamper Day Invite

Loooooves! 

This balloon invite was the perfect way to invite my sister's bridesmaids to a pampering day of manis and pedis. 

We were so glad they looooved it as much as we did!

They each received a gift bag...

...with some ribbons and tulle...

...and out popped a pretty pink balloon, and an invite too! 

We love the use of different font styles. We had our eye on this trend for a while now and the pamper day invite was the perfect time to try it. 

Watch this space for our next post with pics from the Bridesmaid's Pamper Day!

The Cutest Party on the Block

The softest touch of peach...

We had such fun creating this pretty engagement. Turquoise and gold with just the softest touch of peach. We added lace, pearls and feathers too for a lovely romantic touch. 

The Entrance table- feathers, flowers and Bombay Crush...

The shabby rose centrepieces.

We alternated these three types of serviettes on the place settings. 

Rich gold damask runners were placed over the gold velvet tablecloths. 

The central feature in the room was a draped gazebo where the Snacks, Tea & Cake, Desserts and Ice Cream tables were placed. 

We looove these L.O.V.E Blocks.

Vintage cream lace.

We used this jewellery box as a feature on the Snacks table. 

Feathers, flowers...

...jewels...

...and lace.

Fancy food labels for the yummy ice creams.

The feature area on the main table.

Congrats Mohammed & Amina!
