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. 👇 Let me know in the comments below if you are considering a wedding lounge for your big day celebration? #marriagemeander #furniturehire #weddingfurniturehire #weddingfurniture #lauriekohrs #pinkcouch #bluecouch #lauriekohrswedding #weddinglounge #furnitureforhire

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.

⚠️ 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 😘 📷 @baileeguyweddings #marriagemeander #estateplanning #wills #PlanAhead #EstatePlanningLawyer #lawfirm #financialplanning #financialfreedom #stuartwoodroffe #masoninc #jlesliesmith
SUPPLIER SPOTLIGHT // Sposabella A red desert ro SUPPLIER SPOTLIGHT // Sposabella A red desert romance with an off the shoulder dress from @sposabellakzn. Off the shoulder dresses are one of the trends that were touted to steal the show in 2022 and we can certainly see why with this spectacular gown from Sposabella. It doesn't have the most exciting name, #style_44295, but this dress is definitely going to turn heads! This stretch crepe fit and flare bridal gown features a flattering off the shoulder neckline that is accented with a pleated bodice. Pleating continues along the sleeves to the back where the style is finished with covered buttons (oooh we love buttons!!) extending to the end of the chapel length train. The dress is lined in jersey for an ultra comfortable fit all night long. Head over to our stories to ogle this dress a bit more... 😍 Well done to the shoot crew for a captivating series of images: Dress: @sposabellakzn Veil & earrings: @the.rivera.collection Photographer: @tylarossphotography Hair & makeup: @michellemakeupartist11 Flowers & table setup: @blom.bespoke Ring: @anke_linden_jewellery Cakes: @arabellacakes Models: @carolyn.foreverdreaming & Nathan Broom #marriagemeander #sposabellakzn #yestothedress #bridalboutique #weddingdresses #durbanweddings #sposabellabridalboutique #weddingdress #yestothedress #bridalboutique #sawedding #durbanbride #sawedding #saweddings

SAFARI HONEYMOON // From the moment you arrive and SAFARI HONEYMOON // From the moment you arrive and are handed your welcome cocktail until the time you are bid a fond farewell, you will spend your days at @nambitiplains feeling like a VIP, but also feeling very much at home. Nambiti Plains is perfectly positioned on the edge of a waterhole overlooking the abundant plains of the Nambiti Reserve. The clever and eco-conscious design of the lodge enables it to blend into its surroundings. Every generously proportioned and elegantly appointed suite has a private deck overlooking the expansive plains. Spaces are open and uncluttered here, leading your gaze to the incredible views of the bushveld beyond. The Nambiti Plains chefs are proud of their creative and locally sourced cuisine, which is presented in a fine dining format, using only the freshest ingredients. Speaking from experience: come hungry and pack some loose fitting pants! 😜 Expect to see some spectacular safari sightings during your two daily game drives in this Big 5 reserve. Some of my favourite sightings at Nambiti Plains are the two male lions we saw loping up a hill to find a rest spot, the black-backed jackals we saw tucking into a fresh carcass, and the giraffe welcoming committee. Nambiti Plains is about 30km north of Ladysmith, which translates to a 4-and-a-half-hour drive from Johannesburg or 3-and-a-half hours from Durban. Are you ready to book your own luxurious but unpretentious safari at Nambiti Plains. 🦁 #marriagemeander #nambitiplains #nambitigamereserve #big5 #safarihoneymoon #bushgetaway #PlainsMoments #luxurybushescape #nambiti #safarilodge #luxurysafari
