Lara & Jurek - Innovative Stationery

Friday, 17 May 2013 10:35

It is no secret that we adore innovative stationery, and the wedding of Lara and Jurek was definitely no exception. The traditional seating chart was redesigned in the shape of 3D Styrofoam cut-out chairs, with guests’ names and table numbers pinned to each chair.

Lara and Jurek hosted their unforgettable wedding at MolenVliet Wine and Guest Estate in the Stellenbosch winelands. A beautiful white palate was accentuated by oversized cream lampshades, long opulent table settings and gorgeous green floral décor. A floral installation above the dance floor created a stunning feature, while Topiary trees on modern plinth tables adorned one of the sides of the venue. Modern lighting used in conjunction with opulent chandeliers created an ambient setting. These gorgeous photographs by Joe Photography.

The Aleit Group has an incredible new opportunity within the Events Team in Cape Town. Aleit Events is expanding and is looking for a young, vibrant person who has at least 2 years experience in the industry and is willing to be based in Stellenbosch.

In this week’s featured wedding we glance back at the picturesque winelands wedding of Nicci and Simon. Nicci wore an elegant V-neck dress with silver detail on the back. We adored the detail on her pink Jimmy Choo shoes that added a quirky pop of colour. This created a spectacular finish to an amazing dress. The stunning dress was captured by Cari Photography.

A perfectly matched couple combined with the ideal venue promised a wedding like none other. A vibrant selection of flowers filled the reception at Nicci and Simon’s beautiful winelands wedding. The use of modern colours and harder textures brought a fun and playful ambience within an elegant and timeless setting.
