My inspiration

Cross hanging from the door frame at Vrede en Lust

I thought i would share some of the beautiful things i have found a long my way. Things that have inspired me to be who i am today, as well as where i am today. These things are both simple and mesmerizing. They are breathtaking and at the same time one would nearly not even realise they were there had you not been looking at the right place at the right moment.


The view from the top of a mountain, makes you feel as free as a bird

Life is not measured by the
amount of breaths we take.
But by the moments
that take our breath away

A picture i found lying on the ground after the rain

I hope that you have enjoyed these little things, and that they will bring as much inspiration to your life as they have to mine. Remember the next time your out and about, take a moment to look around you. You will be amazed at the beauty that is all around you.



Love is the greatest inspiration of all.

Have a fantastic week, and a happy happy Easter!!

Photographer

I have decided to focus today's blog on the people that make my life a bit easier. Today i am going to focus on not only my best friend in the whole world but also one the the best photographers i know. Her photos are amazing, why? because she tends to get in there where the action is happening and takes photos that a lot of people might miss. Apart from being a great photographer she is one hell of a retoucher. Which means that when you receive your photos she had taken out the kid picking his nose in the background, or the dog licking the cake (only joking). She makes every photo special, because she understands that you only live that moment once, but having the perfect pictures can capture it for a lifetime.
Since before i started doing events, Candice has been at every family function, be it a birthday, a braai, or something as special as a wedding. She has been there with her camera and its thanks to her that we have so many amazing photos of these special moments.




Here are some pictures of my sisters wedding that i helped arrange. Candice took the most amazing photos of the layout. While the wedding photographer was busy with the Bride and Groom she managed to get the most amazing photo's of the guests.



The last photo's are an example of how amazing she is at retouching. I have added the before and after picture to show you what a difference it can make to your photos. She even went as far as to give me blue eyes (i am in love). As you can see she puts a lot of effort into her work. Candice can also restore old photos, change them even add people into them (for that guy who missed the wedding ).


As you can see Candice is a brilliant photographer, her work speaks for it self, which is why i use her for all my events. I would recommend her for every event that i do, and i do!!! If you would like to use Candi at your next event please leave me a message and i will send you her details.


Have a wonderful weekend xxxxx

Weddings and other formal events

Weddings and formal events is something i am really looking forward to getting involved in. The idea of creating all those beautiful flower arrangements, coming up with the perfect menu. Transforming an empty venue into a magical dream come true. To see the face of the bride as she walks into the room, knowing that you have managed to create exactly what she has dreamed of since she was a little girl, must be the most amazing feeling.

I still have tons to learn and am so excited about all the new adventures i will be taking. Learning to arrange flowers and baking the perfect cake, is what i am currently studying. Then its on to hotel school to learn how to make all the yummy food. For now i have a chef, but later i would like to do it all myself!! Maybe one day I'll even be making you that perfect wedding dress.

Hope your having a super day

love me xxxx

Kiddies events

Its been a very busy week, apart from the fact that my brother in law Miles came to visit us from New York. Which was such a great surprise. This past week, i got my kiddies party business started. I can't explain how excited i am about this, kids are so special.





I know that we are going to make tons of little girls and boys feel that much more special on their birthdays. We have 6 different party sets at the moment. If we don't have what the little one needs, we will go out and find it. If they can dream it, we can make it.

Have a fantastic day everyone, and we will see you at next party!!!

Love me xxxx
