Lavender, fuchsia, pink or purple… the shades and possibilities are endless when creating a look with the colour plum.  This season, plum explodes in its drama and fullness when combined with whites, greys,  silver, glass, crystal and  spring blossom s.   Hues of purple and plum evoke  nostalgic feelings and reminders of lavish Indian summers

When you look at this striking mood board all colours seem to pop when indigo is introduced.  Brown, gold, champagne and touches of silver are the perfect backdrops for this eye catching colour.  It reminds us of deep blue Greek seas and Mediterranean coastlines... tranquillity comes to mind...  a bold colour for the adventurous bride!

Soft hues in champagne, off white and light greys create the most romantic and sensual look of the season.  Glamorous touches are added with crystal chandeliers, dimmed naked bulbs and flickering candlelight.  Flowers are in stark contrast, being very structured and organic.  Undeniably our favourite style to be explored throughout the upcoming season.

White is the colour of purity and symbolizes kindness and this epiphany this lovely couples personalities.Here is a glimpse into their stunning winelands wedding at MolenVliet Wine and Guest Estate.

The Most Popular Look and Feel of 2011.  And how we loved working with this palette!  So it is kind of sad to say our goodbyes....  nothing wrong with looking back and appreciate the beauty and simplicity of the monochrome look's stylishness. We have truly mastered it by now!   But here is to 2012 and monochrome with a pop of colour.  We are looking forward to it!

Any expert in design will advise  you to turn to nature for inspiration when combining colours.  Golden green is the perfect way for an elegant look to meet organic green elements.  This colour palate reminds us of golden sun beam lit vineyards and plains of grass – gold tinged with green.  The contrast of the natural green with the glamour of the gold is a striking example of the greater the contrast the better the look.

Pink embodies the colour for all seasons! This year, we at The Aleit Group, recommend, and applaud, the marriage of understated and eluded shades of pink, with delicate natural hues. Silver, ivory and matt grey state only a few of the suggested matrimonies of colour.

Have pleasurable pink moments, exploring even more.
