The South African Wedding Guide

Combining orange with white simply makes a statement. We love the freshness it brings and how easy it is to incorporate this colour scheme into your wedding.


These beautiful orange dresses for the bridesmaids, paired with white bouquets works so well. Dressing your man in grey is also an alternative option to the traditional black suit. Use mini oranges for seating tags to be extra quirky.


Getting your shoes dyed the colour of your wedding is the in thing, and photographers love playing around with this idea as well.


Getting your decor together in this colour scheme should also prove to be easy with many different flower options available.


Flowers such as roses, gerbera's, poppies and tulips are just but a few of the choices available.

Purple wedding colours are becoming increasingly popular and many couples are being daring by combining it with a variety of other colours. We love how gold makes the purple pop and how easy it seems for this combination to work.


There are many ways you can dress your reception tables to include both of these colours, make purple your base colour and add the touches of gold in foliage or accessories or even wedding stationery.


Our mood boards will give you some inspiration to make your royal wedding dream come true and show you just how easy it is to achieve the look.


If you are hoping to have a peacock themed wedding then combining these two colours with green will do the trick.


We love this gold cake, simple, elegent yet very striking.

Who knew a second hand rubber eraser could be this useful? Cut out any shape and personalise your wedding stationery with this unique wedding idea DIY provided by The Sweetest Occasion.

By following the simple steps below we'll show you how to make s'mores wedding favours.

 

This is what you’ll need:

  • Rubber Eraser
  • Pencil
  • Pen
  • Craft Knife
  • Ink Pad


Now follow these easy steps:

STEP ONE

Draw a simple picture on your eraser with pencil. If you mess up, the lead will easily rub off and you can try again.

STEP TWO

Take your craft knife and carefully trace around your image, cutting directly downward. You won't need to cut too deep.

STEP THREE

Cut in from the edges of the eraser, careful to only cut up to where you traced the image with the knife. Work your way around in pieces, clearing away the parts that come free, until all of the excess is cut away.

STEP FOUR

Take the ink pad and stamp away.

STEP FIVE

Not only can this be used for weddings, but also very effective for birthday parties and thank you gifts.
