Mood Board Monday

Carla — Mon, 17 Oct 2016 13:20:54 +0000

Today on our Monday Mood Board we were inspired by the magic of nature and all its beautiful tones. It whisks us away into the forest with a hint of rustic copper and a combination of natural elements such as tree twigs and leaves. A perfect palette for any forest wedding.

Margaret + Curshwin

Carla — Mon, 09 Feb 2015 07:40:12 +0000

We loved being a part of Margaret & Curshwin’s beautiful wedding vision. From their playful yet elegant invites to their chic on-the-day stationery, a modern fairytale theme was carried through with a hint of an adorable bunny emblem. The use of black and white colours with a dash of silver brought together a stunning collaboration.

Dreamy & Dramatic

Carla — Mon, 19 Jan 2015 08:25:22 +0000

No other word can describe this dreamy wedding than DRAMA – in the best way possible of course! With overflowing florals and touches of gold, Toni and Mark’s dreamy dramatic wedding was just stunning with the ever amazing Nicolette of Nicolette Weddings. We adored designing their stationery and thought our ornate mirrors and perspex table numbers were the perfect compliment.

Narine + Jurgen

This romantic old French inspired wedding was highly influenced by the super creative and organised couple, Narine and Jurgen. Their stitched letter pressed and printed invites set the tone for this beautiful wedding at Brenaissance, Stellenbosch captured by Nikki Meyer Photography.

PS: The pictured photo frames were provided by the couple which we supplied the seating charts inserts for.

Tracey + Doug

Carla — Fri, 26 Sep 2014 08:22:49 +0000

We absolutely adored bringing Tracey + Doug’s elegant, watercolour | beach yet modern vision to life. Their beautiful digital Save the Date and Invite were only the beginning to the many pieces we were fortunate enough to contribute on their special day (in collaboration with Karla Oettler). The Grand was the perfect venue to compliment their wedding with our showcasing banners, laser cut perspex wording, parasols, food signage and much much more.

Radiance Redefined

Carla — Tue, 26 Aug 2014 06:55:02 +0000

The year of the Radiant Orchid has brought beautiful deep magentas into many a design as well as inspiration for weddings and events. It’s striking, bold, and makes a royal statement. We teamed with Strictly weddings, Fleur le Cordeur, and Tasha Seccombe Photography for their Fall | Winter Wedding inspiration for 2014. Our gold heat foiled invites and velum pocket were a perfect component for the dramatic black dress and daring floral accessories.

Lina + Edurdo – Valentines Bliss

Carla — Mon, 02 Jun 2014 09:25:09 +0000

We passionately collaborated with the Aleit Group for this romantic Valentines wedding at the Cavalli Estate in Somerset West. Lina and Eduardo went for a dazzling opulent look in their invite suite and wished to progress this direction in all their reception stationery. With multi layered gold foiled gift boxes and personalised silhouette gold perspex menus there was no detail left untouched.

This beautiful classic Moelenvliet wedding showcased stunning pieces from our laser-cut perspex wording to a vinyl seating chart application to one of our oversized elegant mirrors. Lauren and Anthony shone in their white damask and floral bliss setting which we were delighted to be a small part of!

Jaco + Lara

In staying true to so many of our current eco | rustic weddings, we love these photos (By Vivid Blue Photography) from the divine couple Jaco and Lara. Celebrating their special day at Lourensford Wine Estate, which was transformed into an elaborate and heavily blooming occasion with the modern eco sage touches the couple had requested.

Secret Diary Designs at the Little Pink Book Pool Party

Carla — Thu, 24 Mar 2011 19:05:45 +0000

We were lucky enough to recently be asked to assist with all the stationery, design and printed goods for the Little Pink Books annual party and this year the theme was “Pink Pool Party” and boy was it a party! It was held at the AMAZING Villa Lara in Llandudno Cape Town, with stunning sea and mountain views!

One of the focal points was definitely the cascading pink candy and cake bar display (Bar by in and out events and Cakes by Wades cakes). What a sight to behold and even better to taste! We created lovely lasercut candy tags for the candy buffet which were a real hit! Along with hot pink vinyl lasercut signage on the front of the bar which finished off the look and feel quite nicely.

Perspex “car bling” was hung from a pink Cadillac’s rear view mirror which was parked in the driveway to the venue.

Branded Pink lemonade crushers followed by brutal fruit pink-tinis were the drinks of the evening ! Each glass had a round branded tag attached to the base of the glass with words such as “chic”, “think pink” and “pink-tinis”.

The crushers were branded with glossy round waterproof branded stickers .

We incorporated a lot of large format printed banners into the event, this being just one of the many that were displayed around the venue.

These were just a few pics from the party, watch this space for more as we will be loading up new pics every day!

Keep a keen eye on our facebook page for the latest updates as to what we are up to and the latest trends and pics!

Ciao for now!

Love the SD team
