The South African Wedding Guide

Posted: 24 January 2013

There are few people who can resist the smell of popcorn and creating a popcorn bar at your wedding will be a fantastic alternative to wedding favours.

Not only is this idea fun, but it can also be cheaper than the traditional candy buffet. With a variety of gourmet flavours available including the traditional salt, butter and cheese, flavours like cinnamon, strawberry, chocolate and sour cream are also now widely available.

Have a dedicated person on the day to make fresh popcorn as needed, as it will go soft and chewy if not kept fresh. Have either personalised cones or boxes handy for guests to put their popcorn in.

Love this idea? Are you doing this at your wedding? Then send us your pictures.

We love how easy it can be to do your own simple yet effective table decorations. Follow the easy DIY steps below to create some fabulous wedding centerpieces for the tables.

This is what you’ll need:

  • Green Wine Bottles
  • Adhesive Remover
  • Wine Corks
  • Floral Wire
  • Satin or Organza Ribbon (Colour of your choice)
  • Scissors
  • Floral Knife


Now follow these easy steps:

STEP ONE

Remove the labels from the wine bottles. Leave the empty wine bottles in hot water overnight, this will ease the process of removing them.

STEP TWO

Tie the ribbon around the bottle and end it off with a neat bow. If you don't like the idea of having bows, then you can let it hang lose as well.

STEP THREE

Using a sharp needle, make a tiny hole in the centre of the wine cork, just enough so you can push the florist wire through it easily.

STEP FOUR

Cut the flowers you would like to use at an angle, and before inserting these into the bottles, add some water.

And that's as easy as it gets.

You can find inspiration all over the internet, and these were some of the unique ideas we came across that will not only help you make your wedding day extra special, but also little easier.


Not only does having eco friendy favours or centerpieces show you care, but it also adds colourful touches and delightful smells to your table settings


Incorporate a personalised stamp in your wedding stationery, cheap, easy and oh so beautiful


If you have little ones participating in the wedding ceremony, give them easy to handle tasks so not to stress them out too much.


Finally we have a solution to those tricky heels spiking through the grass. Ask your wedding planner to put down some concrete blocks or tiles on the spot where you want your bridesmaids to stand. This will make the stand "on the grass" so much easier for them.
