Happy Shoesday!!!

What a miz day for a Shoesday up here in the Highveld. But to chear you up, I found the most stunning shoesday pic from a wedding shot at Oakfield Farm (love this venue) by the super talented Cape based team at Zara Zoo Photography (love them too). The vintage books came from Moi Decor Wedding Hire, which were a nice touch. This wedding actually deserves its own post, which I will probably get to at some point, but if you would like to see it, click here.

French Vintage Wedding at Pappas Duncan Yard

Happy Friday!! And what better way to ease into the weekend with some photo eyecandy. For those of you who don’t know Duncan Yard in Pretoria, it's a little shopping centre nestled in the bustling suburb of Hatfield. A picturesque little haven of shops and eateries with cobbled ways and castle turrets, it is definitely something out of the ordinary. For more info visit duncayard.co.za.

It’s off the beaten track in terms of wedding venues, which is interesting because the restaurant, Pappas, provides the perfect backdrop for a quaint wedding. Friends of the awesome photo duo welovepictures had their wedding here and their theme was French vintage. It sure didn’t disappoint. Happy viewing!

Vintage-inspired hair pieces

If there's one thing that every bride wants for sure, it's to have a unique and beautiful look on her wedding day. By choosing a hand-crafted and vintage-inspired hair piece, you can be assured of a considered and detailed accessory that will complete and compliment your look. The wonderful thing about a high quality designed piece is that it won't age in style and if looked after can be that special "something old" or "something borrowed" that you may, in time, pass on to someone close to you. Turn something aesthetically appealing into something sentimental with [‘vin:tij]•blue hair accessories. They carry the most exquisite array of hair pieces for your big day – take a look: [‘vin:tij]•blue.

Birdcage veils + brides = beautiful

The birdcage veil is great for a bride who is looking for an elegant, vintage look on her wedding day. Inspired by the 30s and 40s, this look has made a big comeback. Get your birdcage veil, bespoke or off the rack from Helena’s Crown or DNR Creations.
