Mood Board Monday No. 2 – Down to Earth

Carla — Mon, 12 Sep 2016 05:00:13 +0000

It’s the start of another week and we are in full swing with our mood board Monday series. It’s almost summer time and warmer weather is slowly approaching. While we are still enjoying winter comforts, we thought it would be fitting to showcase the next mood board, titled: Down to Earth.

The stationery feature is a texture-inspired menu that we created for a styled shoot at the end of last year. It showcases a rich textured card on thick white cardstock and it is finished off with a printed leather piece that is wrapped around the card with twine.

The shoot titled “Artisan Paired” was the creative concept of Bona-Fide Creative Consultants and came together with the help of Andrea van der Spuy Photography, MYŪZU and Secret Diary.

Wedding & Stationery Feature | Riëtte & Theuns

Carla — Thu, 21 Apr 2016 15:38:11 +0000

Today our wedding and stationery feature shines a light on the other-worldly copper affair that was Riëtte and Theuns’ wedding. This exquisite event was held at the fairytale-like Lanzerac Wine Estate in the heart of Stellenbosch. The couple’s summer celebration was photographed by the incredible Christine Meintjies and organised by the Aleit Group. Secret Diary had the pleasure of creating the couple’s stationery from start to finish which included their save the date, wedding invitation and reception stationery.

We are absolutely in love with the splashes of copper and touches of nature that pulled together the wedding day decor. It was complimented by the beautiful order of service booklet, as well as the wooden engraved menu clip boards and tags with guest names, designed and produced by the Secret Diary team. The main focus of today’s post and our favourite item has to be the copper foiled semi-transparent pocket sleeve which contains the program and lyrics for the church service of Riëtte and Theuns’ special day.

Rene and Dirk’s Wedding

We recently created some stunning couture stationery pieces for Agape Wedding clients, Rene and Dirk, who were wed at Rockhaven Farm.

Every single detail of this wedding is exquisite – from the vintage car down to the monogramed cufflinks. The brief was for the stationery to be modern but with a warm botanical element to it. We designed this lovely floral pattern that incorporated pinks, berry tones, greens and golds. The whole wedding looks absolutely stunning and was shot by the very talented Tasha Seccombe. Take a look at some of the stationery shots below and how beautifully everything fits together! The glitzy gold bridesmaids dresses are just incredible and look amazing hanging on our engraved wooden hangers. However one of our favourite pieces that we designed for this event is the canvas seating chart with the floral border.

Have a look at the rest of their wedding piccies on Tasha’s website here – prepare to be blown away by this one!
