Bridal Shower at the Lake

We were approached by a sweet client Leila, to organise a pretty pastel Bridal Shower for her sister Sumaiya. 
The shower was held at her aunt's home on the Mt Edgecombe Golf Estate. We set up on their back patio which overlooks a lake. 
Soo beauts! 







The gift boxes filled with yummy nougat all wrapped up in a bow. 
We added touches of gold to the pastel decor to give it a grown up feel.






Hydrangeas are our fav flower right now! 
My earliest memory of them is from Mary Poppins where they turn into butterflies, and they are still as whimsical to me today. 
Loooves! 

Gorgeous yummies! Nabeela's Bakeshop of course.




These sweet mallow pops by NB too!




Leila told us we had to have these as her sister loves the cocktail drink bottle idea. We custom made the drink bottle labels and added hints of gold to the barber striped straws.




What's a dessert buffet without some sweeties?


We used this oh-so-sweet ruffle cake by Nabeela's Bakeshop as the central feature on our dessert buffet.  Pastel pink on the outside and pink ombre layers inside. 





Fluffy white tissue paper pom poms.


We dressed the table in a pink tulle table skirt and used a rich gold table cloth.

More hydrangeas for the centrepiece. We propped them in a birdcage and added two white birdies.





The amazing view from the patio. 


The beautiful bride to be!

Rustic Eid Tablescape


I've been spending lots of time in my Dad's Custom Carpentry Workshop recently and I think his passion for wood rubbed off on me. Whilst making handmade chalkboards for Eid gifts in his Workshop, I decided on a tablescape for this Eid with natural elements.
 Wood (of course), hessian, greenery and soft creams and whites to tie it all up...





Our vintage Scrabble letters Eid sign! Looove! 

Our trusted Birdcage dressed with some rustic greenery and two wooden birdies.




Our Eid gifts...We turned ordinary pieces of wood into chalkboards and added a strip of ribbon to each. We added a stick of chalk and a little message too!


The packaged chalkboards all wrapped up!




There had to be buntings, and hessian buntings this time, trimmed with crochet lace ribbon.
