MOTIVATIONAL MONDAYS // Ooh, I do love a bit of Coco Chanel inspiration on a Monday morning!
I have to confess, though, Coco, 2020 was the glory year for my Slippers, Slip-Slops and Slipper Socks! I am looking forward to a few occasions in 2021 where my heels can reach for the stars again. 👠

VENUE TOUR 10 // The tenth and final property within our KZN Midlands portfolio is @thehiltonbushlodge, an idyllic escape from the bustle of city life. An easy drive from Pietermaritzburg, Durban and even Johannesburg, it is still located conveniently close to Hilton.
The lodge overlooks the confluence of the uMngeni and Rietspruit rivers, as well as the neighbouring uMngeni Valley Nature Reserve. Find a sunlit spot on the deck and 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 to be. It’s Africa at its best.
The Hilton Bush Lodge offer bridal couples understated sophistication set against a breathtaking bushveld backdrop. Their dedicated team will orchestrate all the big and small details of your perfect day.
Although elegant, the venue has been designed in harmony with the untouched, 40-something hectares of bushveld and it successfully unites a picturesque country setting with state-of-the-art facilities. Spacious and luxurious accommodation for up to 28 guests and an onsite chapel are further advantages of this striking wedding venue.
The Hilton Bush Lodge would love to chat to you about hosting your intimate, classy and stylish wedding.

VENUE TOUR 8 // Today we feature a jaw-droppingly

VENUE TOUR 8 // Today we feature a jaw-droppingly lovely KZN Midlands wedding venue that is ideally suited to the bride and groom looking for a micro wedding venue, @qambathimountainlodge.
The boutique barn with its large fireplace, boma and stunning mountain views is perfect for summer and winter weddings. Another option is a forest wedding on the pretty timber deck tucked into the indigenous forest with a little river running through it. There is also the main lodge, which has a gorgeous chill deck overlooking the gardens.
Qambathi specialises in small boutique and bespoke weddings, which is why they don’t have predetermined packages for you to choose from. They believe that each wedding should be as unique as the couple that is getting married. As a destination wedding venue, they hire the lodge on exclusive basis, which means that no other parties or lodge guests will be around on your big day. Qambathi Mountain Lodge offers you the opportunity to tailor make your wedding to include a special weekend of bush dinners, picnics, fly fishing, hiking, horse riding and golf.
Up to 50 guests can be accommodated at Qambathi weddings in their function area. An old sandstone church is less than 10 minutes from the lodge and the gardens offer many options for an outdoor ceremony. The entire lodge forms part of their wedding packages, with fully catered or own caterer options.
The gorgeous decor in this shot 👆🏻 done by the wildly talented crew from @natural_nostalgia 😍
