Fake is the new real.

If there is ever something to fake at your wedding it is this following trend. Brides are constantly looking for new ways to make their wedding stand out from the rest. We have found this interesting flower bouquets made out of brooches which will do just that. We simply love this idea and here are some pics to give you inspiration of how you can collect brooches, old and new, and put them together for your wedding bouquets.

This is a very pretty idea but it comes with this following caution message: Please do not through this bouquet at the single ladies on your wedding...they may end up with a few stitches. :)

Till we post again...

Tania and Marius wedding

A few months ago SA Weddings hosted a bridal beauty and styling workshop where the Moi team shared some of our expert advice and inspirations when putting together your wedding style. On that day Tania was the winner of the Phenomenal Prize which included Moi styling services, hair and make up from Lori Mauerberger, a wedding dress from Elizabeth wedding gowns, shoes from Anella, an engagement shoot from Warren Williams, jewelry from Uwe Koetter etc.

Tania was simply speechless when she won this amazing prize. The following week we met up with Tania and discussed her wedding theme. She liked the idea of a pink wedding. The Moi team put this mood board together and came up with this fabulous shades of pink wedding.

We went to Elizabeth's studio in the Northern Suburbs where we got to choose from a wide variety of beautiful vintage inspired dresses. We suggested a white dress with silver tones for Tania because it complemented her skin tone.

She made her choice and she looked amazing!! She went to Anella shoes and found the perfect fit which complemented her dress very well. Lori Mauerberger form beauty bulletin did her hair and make up on her wedding day. So without further a due here is her wedding pics which were taken by photographer Just Judy:

Congratulations to Tania and Marius, you are truly an amazing couple and we wish you lots of love, peace and happiness.

Shopping with the Moi team @ XOXO, Willowbridge

Our next stop was at XOXO in Willowbridge. Now we simply love this shop because when ever we start to shop for a new season we go to XOXO to buy all our basic tops, pants, dresses etc. With these basics you can build a wardrobe and mix and match it with different accessories, shoes, handbags etc. There are endless possibilities when buying a simple clothing item...

Here Sybil is selecting some items from the store. Whats we like about the XOXO clothing ranges are that if you find something that you like in a colour you will have a selection of different colours to chose from in that specific item.

 Rozanne LOVES her bling and what better way to style a sequin scarf with a nude dress. These scarves come in 3 colour ways: Black, gold and silver.
