Today’s culture is very food-focused. We photograph our food and post pictures of beautifully plated dishes on our Instagram feed. Food – and how it is presented – has become a fully integrated part of the whole wedding experience.

In one of our recent blogs, we asked Renzo & Sherree Hamblin from @hamblinscatering to share some insights for our brides and grooms on how to create a fabulous dining experience at your wedding - that fits the style and budget of your special day.

Check out our stories and follow the link in our stories to the blog for a detailed PROS and CONS list to the various types of dining AND the the 10 Questions You Need To Ask Your Catering Company before hiring them!

Happy Women's Day! 😍💐🙌

I have loved meeting so many wedding industry women since taking over this business two years ago and I am so grateful to you for sharing your wisdom, love, inspiration, skills and sense of humour with me. 

The above slides represent some - but certainly not all -  of you who have left an imprint on my heart! If I didn't have a picture of you on file to include  in my collage in the coming year, I hope that we get to work together this year so that I can capture some images of you for next year's Women's Day wishes! 📷 Get ready to say CHEESE! 😉

VENUE SHOWCASE // Overlooking the confluence of th VENUE SHOWCASE // Overlooking the confluence of the uMngeni and Rietspruit rivers, as well as the neighbouring uMngeni Valley Nature Reserve, you’ll find a luxurious but unpretentious wedding venue called @thehiltonbushlodge. 

Here you will be mesmerised by long grasses swaying in the gentle breeze, sightings of an antelope or two, picturesque vistas across the valley and continual birdsong. The Hilton Bush Lodge is a restful yet invigorating place.

Although sophisticated, the venue has been carefully designed to remain in harmony with the untouched, 40-something hectares of bushveld and it successfully unites a picturesque country setting with state-of-the-art facilities. 

Here are just some of the reasons why brides and grooms rate The Hilton Bush Lodge as one of KwaZulu Natal's most appealing wedding venues:

🌾 A welcoming and professional team to help you achieve the wedding you’ve always dreamed of
🌾 Convenient location (it's an easy drive from Pietermaritzburg and Durban)
🌾  The picturesque nature setting means you will have a jawdroppingly lovely photo album
🌾 The stunning onsite chapel provides an all-weather option for your ceremony
🌾 Well-appointed comfortable accommodation

Chat to Kate, Dee and Lisa to book your site visit at The Hilton Bush Lodge.

THE RISE OF THE WEDDING LOUNGE // Creating comfort THE RISE OF THE WEDDING LOUNGE // Creating comfortable lounge zones at your wedding is not a new trend but it's definitely one we are seeing more of, and I am a big fan! 

Lounge seating works a treat during canapes whilst the bride and groom are off on their creative shoot, and later in the evening when feet are dancefloor-weary and guests are looking for a quiet spot to chill and chat, couches and ottomans once again steal the show.

The trick to executing a stylish wedding lounge is to make sure that it fits the overall design aesthetic of your wedding, and when it comes to glamorous and trendy event furniture @lauriekohrswedding has a fabulous selection of  couches, occasional chairs, ottomans, cubes, and beanbags in a multitude of colours and styles. She also has coffee and side tables, harvest tables, cocktail tables, rugs, mushroom- gas heaters and garden umbrellas available.

Just a girl and her horse... A love affair that's Just a girl and her horse... A love affair that's allowed to continue even after you're married! 🐴💗
 
If the idea of a tranquil mountain escape with your girlfriends, and some beautiful Appaloosa horses, sounds like your kind of bachelorette, then this hen's party idea is for you! These beautiful shots were captured by @laurajeanphotos at @qambathimountainlodge, a 10-sleeper adults only boutique hotel in the Kamberg. 
 
Qambathi is perfect for intimate get-togethers even if you decide not to include a horse interaction. I know our styled shoot team could have spent days there enjoying nature walks, poolside relaxation, the amazing food served by their chef and cosy games nights next to the fire in the pub/lounge area.
 
If you haven't yet seen the other reels we created for our Last Flamingle styled shoot, head over to our Reels tab and binge! These experiences were brought to life by a wonderful team of collaborators and, for them, I am so grateful. Take a bow, Flaminglers:

⚠️ WARNING // This is not a fluffy post. But i ⚠️ WARNING // This is not a fluffy post. But it's hopefully going to be a lil' kick in the pants for those who need it. And, by the way, I count myself in the category of people who occasionally require some of the aforementioned pants-kicking to get jolted into action! 

The question is simple: do you and your partner have an up-to-date will in place? 

If your answer is no, can I connect you with someone that can help you get one drawn up? DM me and I will share the deets for a recommended professional in your area.

Love from your Pants-Kicking, Wedding-Loving, Always-Want-The-Best-for-You 

Marriage Meander Girl
