1. SPARKLE IS THE NEW BLACK
If you haven’t noticed the glitter and jewels that have been bedazzling so many beautiful faces on Instagram, then I’m sure you’ve been living under a rock.
Guys, BLING IS IN and that makes my little sparkly heart sing!
The Luna Glitter Bar, a UK based company, actually sets up at your wedding and bedazzles your guests in between their jiggies on the dancefloor, now how cool is that?
Glitter brides UNITE!
So although this service is not available in SA yet, this is just some inspiration for something you might like to incorporate into your own wedding. Glitter anyone?

2. AISLE HIRE IT DOES IT AGAIN
I love it when international trends are available closer to home. Our friends Megan + Brett from Aisle Hire It first brought us the “Insta-Booth”, then the coveted “Insta Bus” and now have been hard at work creating their first neon sign and we have heart eyes for days! They are still ironing out a few details, but these will be available to hire soon!
Be sure to keep your eyes peeled for a competition we have up our sleeves.
3. BARBIE GETS MARRIED
Our dear friend Kendall, blonde bombshell and right hand lady at Nixon Makeup married her Prince Charming this month in what is sure to be the wedding of the year. Held at Crystal Barn with the most amazing team of suppliers, we don’t want to share too much more as we just got the go ahead to feature all the gorgeousness (HOORAY) so will be blogging the full wedding soon!

4. THE WEDDING TABLE
Hot new company alert!! New kid on the block and total babe, Tegan Bogle is bringing class and sophistication closer to home with her exclusive décor hire. We are personally obsessed with this gold drinks trolley, but you must go and have a look-see for yourself what she has to offer!
Teal Couches, Persian rugs and gold cutlery are all high up on the list of my magpie eye!

5. APEROL SPRITZ
A little something for our Jo’burg Brides!
Durbs has the Roll Bar and The Gin Tin, but how cute is this Aperol Spritz Van and Tuk-Tuk from Thirst Bar Services? We sure wish this was coming our way for those Hot Durban Summers! Definitely bringing the vibe with the bright orange.

7. DENIM WEDDING JACKETS
Loving the denim take on the painted leather jacket! Big Bang Theory’s Kaley Cuoco and her husband Karl Cook totally rocked these matching bad boys at their wedding!
Perfect for a winter wedding or if leather is just not your thing.
