Today you are getting a double dose of the wonderful Tasha Seccombe’s work with this darling wedding. Johan and Anzel got married in December last year at Gabrielskloof in Botrivier. This Johannesburg couple wanted to have an intimate affair, and so they chose the tranquil surroundings of the Overberg to say their vows.
I love anything to do with food {especially eating}, collecting pretty things, nesting, afternoon naps, reading and pinning. I am terrible at any kind of needle work, and I secretly envy those who can knit, sew and crochet. Freshly picked jasmin makes me happy. If I could choose my last meal on earth it, would be warm ciabatta bread with lashings of butter.
Today we bring you some party ideas for grown-ups. Photographer extraordinaire, Lizelle Lotter celebrated her 30th birthday in January on the beautiful farm where she lives with two friends. Lizelle chose a Mexican inspired look, and we think the bright beautiful pops of colour suits her bubbly personality perfectly.

Today is kind of a dream come true for me, featuring two creatives in the wedding industry I most admire, photography maestro Jose Villa and stylist Joy Proctor from Joy de Vivre. I have been following Joy’s work for so long, and it was an absolute pleasure to meet up with her on their recent visit to South Africa. When she then also offered this inspirational feature to us, we were simply over the moon!
Since ombre is such a big international trend at the moment, we could not resist sharing these table decor ideas from event and styling company, Nineteen Eighty Five. The ombre trend can be seen everywhere at the moment: from the runway to hair colour, home decor to floral design, it has taken the design world by storm.
