I absolutely love the look of how this wedding turned out. We work so often at Red Ivory Lodge, and when we had put all the hanging floral chandelier centerpieces together – we had the owner of this prestigious wedding venue tell us how much he admired what we had done, and that in his entirety of owning the venue he not seen one other décor company produce this look and style. That is a wonderful compliment to receive, because believe me, that owner has seen hundreds of wedd

I know it sounds cliché, or like something people say to clients when trying to suck up to them, but Barbie and Hastings genuinely became like family to us. They are the type of couple I really hope I am meeting for Saturday afternoon champagne sessions for the rest of my years. I have never had a couple trust me creatively and put all their faith in me and my ability to design – and that is the best gift I have ever received. Having that level of complete trust truly allowed

I really enjoyed planning and styling Sherene and Colin’s wedding. Sherene is one of the humblest, and lovely brides I have ever had the chance to work with. Her calmness throughout the wedding planning process really allowed me to focus on the important aspects of planning the wedding, and to creatively produce beautiful work. It was like a breath of fresh air. Something I learnt through Sherene and Colin, which I was so dead set against before this wedding, was that a bride

I styled a really fun shoot a while back which exuded romance. From the soft colors used in the flowers, to the soft kisses shared between the couple - could anything be better? I love working at Shepstone Gardens because, well, how much more beautiful could it get? The backdrops of lucious gardens is enough to make anything or anyone look beautiful. Add in some gorgeous models (who are in fact a real couple), an extremelly talented photographer and a little bit of romantic s

As this year draws to a close, I can’t fathom how amazing it really has been. I certainly have had quite a few speed bumps and bad moments but the amount of good that has come out of this year completely triumphs the bad. I am so excited that this year my wedding and event planning business has reached new levels of recognition and success. This is something that is so rewarding, especially after the past few years of blood, sweat and tears put into it. Knowing that all of th

I had such fun putting together this extremely spontaneous styled shoot. Andy Wayne called me and said he found the perfect place for a shoot and asked if I was keen. OF COURSE! When am I not? It was a random forest in the middle of Sandton. I put my thinking cap on and headed straight to the flower market as we decided to do the shoot the following day. I was lucky enough to find the color flowers I wanted – using a mix of white Hydrangeas, Sweet Avalanche Roses, Coffee Rose

There is nothing I love more then doing a styled shoot. Okay, maybe I love eating Nutella crepes under the sparkling Eiffel Tower better, but what could possibly beat that? I love style shoots because as a wedding and event stylist I get to create so much beautiful work – but all based on someone else’s vision and preferences. When I do styled shoots, it is all mine. It is using my favorite colors, and my favorite flowers, and my favorite everything. And what is even better i

Last weekend my company Red In Paris Events showcased at The Wedding Expo. It is always wonderful to take part of this expo because we meet such wonderful bridal couples who end up using us, as well as we get to network with a lot of amazing suppliers. We always get a huge response and I must say that this time is no different – the phones have been ringing off the hook keeping me too busy to even write this blog post. We ended up winning a stand excellence certificate for on
