Photobooth prop ideas for your bridal shower
admin Hot off the press April 12, 2016
A photobooth can be a wonderful tool to incorporate at your bridal shower. It is not only an ice breaker, but also a fantastic memory maker.
Bridal showers can often be a bit uncomfortable because guests might not know one another, in-laws might not be getting along or older guests might frown upon some of the activities planned for this event. This is why it is a good idea to consider having a photobooth at your shower. It will not only break the ice and add some fun to your event, but it will also give your guests a keepsake to take home afterward and be a hit with young and old.
Best of all is that you can have customized props to suit the theme of your function. Here are a few ideas to consider if you have a booth booked for your shower.
A vintage high tea theme with fans, masks and hair will be a big hit with young and old. A safe and classic option.
This theme might be better suited for a younger audience and can be fun and sexy.
If you have a pamper party theme, these props would be ideal to add more fun to your day and you do not have to worry about not wearing make-up on the photos!
These props are suitable for young and old, but has a more modern and naughty approach than a normal shower or kitchen tea.
A great and elegant theme that will also please granny and will get guests’ imaginations going.
… will go on Facebook in this instance, but will also add some fun to a more naughty bridal shower. Definitely a fun theme to consider.
No matter what theme you choose, a photobooth will definitely add some fun to your special day.
Special backdrops for special occasions
admin Hot off the press March 14, 2016
Do you have an empty wall in your reception hall or do you want a nice backdrop for your guest photos? Then look no further, because The Peachy Peony will be able to decorate your wedding or function in a stylish and professional way. We asked them to tell us a bit more about who they are and what they do.
Q: Tell us more about The Peachy Peony?
Q: What was the inspiration behind the business and when was it created?
A: “I started with backdrops in 2015, because I am so over the find-anywhere-to-take-photos photos couples have. No be different! Make it fun! It doesn’t stop there, we do not only make specialized décor items for weddings but also for baby showers, Christenings, baby rooms, couple shoots, new-born shoots etc. Have an idea? Contact us!”
Q: Why “The Peachy Peony”?
A: “Since I got married in 2012 I have been over-the-top-in-love with Peonies! They are so big, soft and beautiful. I therefore just knew that my name had to incorporate these wonderful pretty flowers. Peachy, because we do think our products are peachy.”
Q: Tell us more about the team behind the product?
A: “I am the designer as well as the conceptualiser and then there is my husband (who mostly supports my ideas) as the muscle-man. Everything that I can’t do (muscle-wise) he can definitely do, and then if he can’t help, my awesome dad replaces muscle-man, with I-can-do-it-man”.
Q: What are your plans and goals for the future?
A: “To make all those ugly walls disappear into wow features and turn those boring group photos into stunning detailed shots. We do not only hire out backdrops, but also sell backdrops for baby rooms, or any empty wall in your house that you would like to be creative with”.
A: “They will have the chance to showcase the detail, planning and effort that they have put into their wedding, into their photos as well. Your photos are the only keepsake that you have of that amazing day, so make it count”.
Q: What makes your company unique of different from other similar institutions in the industry?
Q: If you could give brides-to-be one piece of advice about decorating empty spaces, what would it be and why?
A: “That you do not have to settle for another venue, because the one you loved had an element which you didn’t like. Hire one of our backdrops to eliminate this area and turn it into a space you love.
I have to show an example, my friend got married and did not like the naked statue that stood in front of the place that the ceremony was going to be held at, this lady was not ugly but oh so inappropriate for your pastor to stand in front of, so we covered it with this chalkboard backdrop. She later used this chalkboard backdrop as her backdrop for her photo booth”.
Q: What type of backdrops are currently the most popular and why?
A: “It depends on the theme of the wedding:
1. Chalkboards; the couple can personalise it with a quote that means something to them, a monogram and make the whole backdrop look like their personality traits.
2. Big vintage flowers for a vintage themed wedding against a wall is also very big now.
3. Marquee signs is a super yes.
4.Then my personal favourite, this rustic themed backdrop.”
Q: What is the company’s motto and why?
A: “You have put so much hard work in planning your occasion, make the detail count – because we firmly believe everything needs to be awesome”.

admin Hot off the press January 22, 2016
Every girl dreams about looking like a princess when attending her matric farewell or saying her I do’s… Bella Vestito can make all of those dreams a breath-taking reality with their exquisite selection of designer gowns – fit for any princess or queen.
Liza de Jager has always been passionate about fashion and weddings. She decided to turn her passion into a career and has never looked back since. We decided to visit her beautiful bridal boutique in Three Rivers to find out why brides are so fond of this establishment.
TELL US MORE ABOUT BELLA VESTITO?
“At Bella Vestito we strive to deliver a level of service that will exceed the expectations of our customers. We are a bridal and evening wear boutique situated in Three Rivers, Vereeniging in the Vaal Triangle. We specialise in the most exquisite International Designer Dresses, from Mori Lee and Moonlight, to Ronald Joyce, Alfred Angelo, Alyce Paris, Mon Cheri and many more. We also offer an in-house collection to suit any bride’s budget. At Bella Vestito we do it all! You can hire or buy a dress, or even let us make one to your specifications. We pride ourselves on delivering friendly, professional service to our clients, as well as high quality dresses. We do wedding, evening, matric farewell, mother of the bride, bridesmaid and flower girl dresses. Bring us your dream dress idea, and we will turn it into a reality.”
WHAT WAS THE INSPIRATION BEHIND THE BUSINESS?
“I have always had a passion for fashion. Clothing just speaks to me. We all love to dress up, I think this starts at a very young age. The wedding day is one of the most important days in any woman’s life, and I am lucky enough to get to live this special occasion over and over through my brides. There is no bigger honour than being a part of such a momentous occasion in somebody’s life, and no greater joy than seeing a bride glow after she has found her dream dress. There was a definite need for a bridal and evening wear boutique in the Vaal Triangle that offers a diversity of dresses for ladies to choose from. Why should the brides from this area always have to drive to Johannesburg or Pretoria to find high-end bridal gowns? In November 2013, I started Bella Vestito and I have not looked back since. This was a life changing undertaking for me, and I would never want to do anything else again. My business is truly my passion.”
“I wanted something different. Something striking. There are so many bridal boutiques in South Africa, and most of them have English or Afrikaans names that has something to do with a certain type of material. I decided to go for Italian. Bella Vestito means “Beautiful Dress”, which is exactly what we offer our clients.”
TELL US MORE ABOUT THE TEAM BEHIND THE PRODUCT?
“I am the owner, Liza de Jager. I am a 32 years old, working mommy, with an always supportive amazing husband of almost four years. My right-hand, is the very talented wonderful shop manager, Lenel Scrooby. Not only is she an amazing fashion designer, but she is also a superb artist and singer. She is truly a multi- talented young lady, who is just as passionate about fashion as I am.”
WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS AND GOALS FOR THE FUTURE?
“We want to ultimately be a one-stop-shop for all occasions. In the near future we would like to expand into offering gentlemen suits and tuxes as well. We already offer wedding packages that encompasses most of a bride’s needs for the big day, but we would like to offer it all, from A-Z, from stationary to the entire wedding party’s attire. The reason behind our packages is to take the workload away from our clients, while saving them thousands in the process. I am a big dreamer, and therefore I see Bella Vestito moving into a space ten times the size we currently have, and with hard work, dedication, passion and drive, I have no doubt that this is exactly what we will do.”
HOW WILL YOUR CLIENTS BENEFIT FROM YOUR SERVICES/PRODUCTS?
“Our clients will benefit greatly from thewell-priced, top quality gowns on offer. We also offer professional consultations to assist brides and teens on choosing a dress style that suits them best. We also go out of our way to assist our brides with any planning for the wedding day, as far as we can. We offer a friendly, professional and honest service to all our clients.”
WHAT MAKES YOUR COMPANY UNIQUE OF DIFFERENT FROM OTHER SIMILAR INSTITUTIONS IN THE INDUSTRY?
“Coming to Bella Vestito for a fitting, is like coming home. All our clients always comment on how comfortable they feel and how much they enjoy coming to our shop. This is very important to us. We feel that the moment you get engaged the wedding experience starts, and every step during that experience should be memorable and enjoyable. We always aim to please, and customer satisfaction is our number one priority. We charge no fitting or consultation fees, and there is no limit to the dresses that you may try on. Our fabulous wedding packages are also quite unique and you will not be able to find anything like it anywhere else.”
IF YOU COULD GIVE BRIDES-TO-BE ONE PIECE OF ADVICE, WHAT WOULD IT BE AND WHY?
“Remember what is important! There is a lot of stress when you are busy planning your big day. It really doesn’t matter if the cake is not what you imagined or the table runners’ colour is different than what you had planned for, the only thing that matters is the love you share with your husband-to-be. This is ultimately what the day is about.”
IF YOU COULD GIVE MOTHERS-OF-THE-BRIDE ONE PIECE OF ADVICE, WHAT WOULD IT BE AND WHY?
“Please remember that this is your daughter’s big day. She needs your love and support. Let her take the lead in selecting everything she wants for the wedding, and only give advice when she asks for it. It can be very overwhelming for a bride ifother parties have too many opinions or try to take over. Let your princess have her fairy-tale the way she wants it. Just be there for her…”
WHAT IS THE COMPANY’S MOTTO?
“Above and beyond… because this is exactly what we do for each and every client, we go above and beyond to meet and exceed our client’s needs and expectations.”

’n Stukkie Karoo in die Vaaldriehoek
admin Hot off the press May 22, 2015
Karoosie is ’n splinternuwe blommebesigheid in die Vaaldriehoek en gaan beslis die troubedryf oorneem in die toekoms. Hulle rangskikkings is vars, kreatief en absoluut asemrowend.
Sonja Oosthuizen het in die troubedryf groot geword en het jare se ondervinding in byna elke aspek daarvan. Sy het onlangs besluit om ’n splinternuwe blommebesigheid in die Vaaldriehoek te vestig en ons het bietjie meer gaan uitvind oor Karoosie.
WIE IS KAROOSIE EN WAARIN SPESIALISEER JULLE?
“Bruide en groot wit rokke is al van kindsbeen af deel van my lewe. My ma het trourokke gemaak en blomme, dekor en spyseniering vir troues gedoen. Sy het ook ’n geruime tyd lank vir Werner Dey in Parys gewerk. Ek dink dit was net natuurlik dat bruide en troues my gefassineer het. Ek wou graag van my universiteitsdae af leer blomme doen. Maar in Potchefstroom was daar nie regtig iemand wat klasse aangebied het nie. Ek het maar die heeltyd rond gevra by die plaaslike bloemiste. Op ’n dag het ’n deur oopgegaan. ’n Bloemis het my aangestel om eers net na die winkel om te sien wanneer hy mark toe gaan. Ek moes die winkel oppas, skoonmaak en bestellings neem. Na ’n tydjie het hy my begin leer, eers net die basiese bosse blomme pak, en toe later kleiner rangskikkings ensovoorts. Vandaar het ek my eie besigheid begin, Belle Fleuri, van die huis af begin. Na ’n rukkie het ons ’n perseel gekry waarvandaan ons die blomme, verhurings en trourokke behartig het. Na 3 jaar, het ons toe ’n venue buitekant Potchefstroom gekoop met die naam Around the World. Ek was verantwoordelik vir al die dekor, blomme en koördinering. Ons het ook self die spyseniering gedoen, maar moes ongelukkig verkoop weens my ma se mediese beserings. Ons het toe almal Vanderbijlpark toe getrek. Ek het vir so ’n jaar skool gegee, waarna ek besluit het my passie en liefde lê by blomme doen. Ek wil partytjies hou soos Mrs Dalloway in Virginia Woolf se bekende roman. Ek spesialiseer in blomme vir funksies en troues. Ek help ook graag met die dekor en koördinering en bak ook lekker kolwyntjies.”
WANNEER HET JY KAROOSIE BEGIN EN WAT WAS DIE INSPIRASIE DAAR AGTER?
“My inspirasie… die mooi dinge in die lewe, die kleure om my, daai “magic” wat met ’n troue in die lug is… ’n Blom kan net mooi wees, daar is niks leliks in hom/haar nie. Blomme verskaf oneindige plesier, nie net vir my wat daarmee werk nie, maar ook vir die persoon wat dit ontvang. Die manier wat ’n kliënt of bruid se gesig ophelder as hulle hou van wat hulle sien. Die mooi dinge in die lewe… Die Here wat alles so mooi maak, ten spyte van wat in die wêreld aangaan. Die liefde. Parys in Frankryk. Karoosie sal nou amptelik oop wees vanaf 1 Julie 2015. Ons is besig om ’n perseel in Vanderbijlpark te koop, wat ons wil omskep in ’n klein venue (40 gaste maksimum) wat sal spesialiseer in kombuistees en ooievaarspartytjies. Ek gaan ook ’n studio inrig waar ek met my blomme gaan besig wees. Tot tyd en wyl gaan ek van my huis af werk, want mooi blomme kan enige plek gedoen word. Ek gaan ook later Karoosie uitbrei om te spesialiseer in troumeublement en -dekor.”
HOEKOM DIE NAAM KAROOSIE?
“Ek en my man is bitter lief vir die Karoo. Dit is ons hartsplek waarheen ons gaan om net weer die batterye te herlaai, rustig te word en die wonder van God se handewerk te sien. Ons het ons hart verloor in die Groenfonteinvallei aan die voet van die Swartberge tussen Oudtshoorn en Calitzdorp. Ons is ook in Oktober daar, tussen die Swartberge getroud, tydens ’n baie klein en intieme troue met die lekkerste kos. Ons wil graag eendag in die Karoo gaan bly, veral Groenfontein. Maar totdat dit gebeur, keer niks ons om ’n stukkie van die Karoo in die Vaaldriehoek oop te maak nie.”
VERTEL ONS MEER OOR DIE SPAN AGTER KAROOSIE?
“Ek glo aan persoonlike diens, op hierdie stadium is dit net ek, so ek doen self jou blomme. Ek het wel ’n goeie ondersteuningspan in die vorm van my man, en my pa, ma en sussie. Hulle laai op, laai af, ry rond en help met die kleinste dingetjies.”
WAT IS JOU PLANNE VIR DIE TOEKOMS?
“Ek sal graag wil sien dat Karoosie ’n huishoudelike naam word in die Vaaldriehoek se troubedryf. Ek sien daarna uit om die studio en venue oop te maak en net weer mooi partytjies te hou, en troues mooi te maak!”
HOEKOM MOET KLIËNTE KAROOSIE KIES?
“Kliënte en bruide sal ’n persoonlike diens ontvang, ek glo nie daaraan om te veel werk in te vat vir ’n naweek nie. Ek wil nie daardie persoonlike touch verloor nie. Ek sal hulle bystaan met raad en daad, asof dit weer my eie troue is. Ek glo daaraan, dat wanneer ’n bruid wegstap na haar troue, moet sy voel dat sy meer gekry het as waarvoor sy gehoop, gedroom en betaal het.”
WAT MAAK JOU BESIGHEID ANDERS?
“My passie en my liefde vir dit wat ek doen.”
AS JY VIR TOEKOMSTIGE BRUIDE RAAD KAN GEE, WAT SAL DIT WEES?
“Moet jouself nie te veel bekommer oor wat in die mode is nie, dit is jou dag, en jy gaan dit net eenmaal doen, so doen wat jou hart begeer. Jy moet gemaklik voel met jou bloemis. Jy moet hom/haar kan vertrou dat hulle vir jou die beste diens en blomme sal lewer – onthou dit is hulle werk, hulle ken blomme en tegnieke. Kry soveel moontlik idees, die internet wemel daarvan, ek is self ’n Pinterest-baba. Dit sal jou bloemis ’n beter idee gee van die tipe bruid wat jy is en wat jy in gedagte het. Gebruik blomme wat in seisoen is, want dit is beter vir ons plaaslike industrie en ook vir jou begroting. Wees versigtig om nie verlief te raak op blomme wat slegs oorsee beskikbaar is nie. Dit is ook baie belangrik om jou bloemis in te lig oor jou begroting. Sodat sy/hy sover menslik moontlik daarbinne sal bly, om dinge vir julle as paartjie te vergemaklik. En as jou bloemis met die blomme praat, dan weet jy net dis die regte keuse. Ek doen dit met myne – hulle moet soos sterre skitter by ’n troue! Onthou – ’n mens se handewerk praat altyd vir jou waar jy nie self kan nie.”
WATTER TIPE BLOMME EN RANGSKIKKING IS TANS GEWILD?
“Ons beweeg tans weg van die stywe rangskikkings en die een-blommetjie-per-bottel-styl. Rangskikkings is losser en lyk asof dit nou net in die tuin gepluk is. Dit het ook meer groenigheid. Koraal en blush bly gewild, maar met ’n helderder aksentkleur hier en daar.
Pantone is ’n gewilde kleur vir 2015 en Marsala begin ook nou kop uitsteek. Maar weereens, is dit jou dag, so kies en doen waaroor jy droom.”
WAT IS JOU MOTTO?
“Ek wil graag vir bruide en kliënte die beste diens gee wat ek kan. Hulle moet na die tyd voel dat hulle meer gekry het, as waarvoor hulle betaal of voor gehoop het. Om die wêreld ’n mooier plek te maak, een blommetjie op ’n slag.”

Affiance Affair is a brand new service provider in the Wedding Community and definitely someone we would love to work with in the future. Here is everything you need to know about this vibrant institution.
TELL US MORE ABOUT AFFIANCE AFFAIR – WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT DO SPECIALISE IN?
Affiance Affair is an independent and well respected planning company that strives to bring stylish, well executed events to the function scene! We are dedicated to ensuring that every client’s best interests are kept at the forefront of their planning experience. We will work with you to create, not only an end result you will be proud and excited to share, but a planning experience that is both enjoyable and strategically executed.
WHAT WAS THE INSPIRATION BEHIND THE BUSINESS AND WHEN WAS IT CREATED?
Our love for weddings and the moments that go with it. Moments like watching the bride walking down the aisle and seeing how happy and content she, and her groom, are.
“Affiance” means being engaged to get married in French. We thought that a name, meaning a Wedding Affair of a Grand Affair, was ideal because this is exactly what we do.
TELL US MORE ABOUT THE TEAM BEHIND THE PRODUCT?
We are two vibrant young personalities with experience in the media industry. Marilize Scheepers has already worked in the industry for numerous years and is a genius when it comes to social media. Christell du Preez used to plan book launches and workshops for a well-respected publishing house. But both of them always felt that life was a little bit dull when it came to the work department, so they decided to leave their jobs for a career in the magnificent wedding industry.
WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS AND GOALS FOR THE FUTURE?
Our strategy is to become a well-established event planning company within the Gauteng region.
HOW WILL YOUR CLIENTS BENEFIT FROM YOUR SERVICES?
It is Affiance Affair’s expertise in the field, dedication to our clients, outstanding organizational skills, drive and energy, and most importantly, our absolute love for the job that makes us the perfect choice for you.
WHAT MAKES YOUR COMPANY UNIQUE OF DIFFERENT FROM OTHER SIMILAR INSTITUTIONS IN THE INDUSTRY?
Affiance Affair offers knowledgeable, experienced, qualified planners who understand how to move a client through a seamless planning experience. We appreciate that each client will have distinctive planning needs, so we will adapt our planning methods to best suit these requirements.
IF YOU COULD GIVE BRIDES-TO-BE ONE PIECE OF ADVICE, WHAT WOULD IT BE AND WHY?
Don’t get caught up in “perfection”. Embrace the unexpected, and all the things that might go wrong, and don’t let an unattainable ideal sour the bigger picture. No one will know if something is missing or wasn’t done. This event says a lot about you as a couple, but it’s not all you’ll ever be. It’s just the beginning!
IF YOU COULD GIVE GROOMS-TO-BE ONE PIECE OF ADVICE, WHAT WOULD IT BE AND WHY?
There is actually three things we would like to tell the future groom:
1. Have an Opinion
This is your wedding too, so get in on the planning. Pick a few things that interest you. You don’t have to comment on the difference between lilies and daisies for the bridesmaid bouquets, but give your opinion on the major planning points.
2. Be a buffer
If your mom is calling your fiancé every hour to talk about the wedding, you run the risk of major family conflict, with you stuck in the middle. Your mission: Keep the peace. Call your mom and let her know that while you appreciate her interest and excitement, it’s your wedding and she needs to give you two some planning space.
3. Don’t add insult
Your fiancé may complain about her mom who’s being a control freak, or about her uncle who wants to bring his new girlfriend, or her cousin who wants to bring all four of her kids. Don’t join in on the family bashing. Hear her out, agree with her, but don’t take this opportunity to tell her the things about her family that annoys you. Her bad mood will pass, but your careless comments may stick.
For more go to : http://wedding.theknot.com/groom-groomsmen/tips-for-grooms/articles/top-10-groom-tips.aspx
WHAT IS THE COMPANY’S MOTTO AND WHY?
We do “I do” perfectly – We use our knowledge and expertise to help guide you in making the best possible decisions, in order for the final result to be one you can be proud of and enjoyed getting to.
If you are getting married, give Affiance Affair a call on 0833041802 or 0716793610 or send the an email at info@affianceaffair.com

A love that will last forever
admin Hot off the press November 28, 2014
Neels and Louise Coertze tied the knot at the beautiful Casa Grande Lodge in Brits and the day turned out to be perfect – just like the love that these two individuals share. Snap-Ease was there to capture the love, friendship and fun of this special event.
Neels and Louise’s wedding day was a celebration of love, family and friendship. A backdrop of country style tables, red and silver décor and colourful balloons created a fun and stylish atmosphere and a feeling of excitement hung in the air as guests started to arrive.
Music and unique quirks were used to add some fun and personality to the formalities, but when the couple said their: I do’s, there wasn’t a dry eye in the chapel. After the ceremony a bunch of red and white balloons were released by the couple and their guests as a symbol of the beauty, love and happiness of the day.
While guests waited for the couple to return from their photo session, they had some photo action of their own in the Snap-Ease Photo Booth and enjoyed some delicious cocktails and snacks. Speeches, music videos, a candle ceremony, good food and a few giggles formed part of the reception… and after the formalities were taken care of, guests had the opportunity to enjoy some delicious soft serve ice cream.
Barend from BZN Productions was the videographer of the day and recorded some very special wedding wishes from guests to include in the video.
It was a beautiful day, which will be remembered by guests for years to come… with a Snap-Ease photo strip as a constant reminder.
Visit http://www.casagrandebb.co.za/ for more information on the beautiful venue the couple chose for their wedding.

A stylish premiere for Leading Lady
admin Hot off the press November 17, 2014
The South African Premiere of Leading Lady was a glamorous event, filled with good food and wine, a star studded guest list, fun activities and the screening of an amazing film.
Ster-Kinekor Cedar Square hosted the South African Premiere of Dark Matter Studios’ brand new film, Leading Lady, on the evening of November 13th 2014. Sponsors and service providers were there early to set up, decorate and pack goodie bags to ensure that everything was ready for this big evening, which everyone had been looking forward to for months.
Star Burst Promotions’ Alishia van Deventer and Gizela Arndts were the organizers behind this glamorous event and the function was a huge success. Boer & Brit supplied the drinks throughout the evening, while Maroela Media and BELLA Magazine (the media sponsors) were on the red carpet doing interviews for their social network platforms.
The guest list included local talent and cast, Brümilda van Rensburg, Bok van Blerk, Jana Strydom, Carien Botha and many more, as well as the international star, Gil Bellows (best known for his roles in The Shawshank Redemption, Ally McBeal and The Agency) who is also a cast member. Other well-known celebrities on the red carpet included the likes of Bouwer Bosch, Leandie du Randt, Hanna Grobler, Tobie Cronje, Je-ani Swiegelaar, Sandra Vaughn, Corine du Toit, Sonja Herholdt, Ivan Zimmerman, Andre Stolz, Llewellyn Greeff, Henk Pretorius, Matthew Mole, Altus Theart, Zetske van Pletzen, Ciske Kruger, Quanita Adams, Sarahann Doherty, Nadia Valvekens, Nadia Beukes and many more.
The highlight of the evening was the screening of the movie that South Africa has been talking about for months. Leading Lady tells the story of an aspiring British actress, Jodi Rutherford, who decides to travel to Brandfort in South Africa to prepare for a role, as an Afrikaans War heroin, that she wants to portray in a big up and coming film. Here she meets Kobus Willemse and his family and persuades them to let her live with them for a couple of weeks in exchange for her participation in their local ‘konsert’. She quickly learns that there is more to Kobus than his rugged exterior and that the things she once believed would make her happy, were not meant to be in the end. It is a charming and humorous love story, filled with important lessons that will most definitely capture the hearts of audiences here and across the world.
Snap-Ease Boothtography is honoured to have been a part of this evening and hope that guests will cherish these special memories for years to come.
Leading Lady starts showing in theatres on November 28th 2014 and is definitely something not be missed. Here is the trailer:

An evening to remember
admin Hot off the press October 7, 2014
Klip River Country Estate’s first annual Couple’s Evening was held on September 13th 2014 and was not only an evening of romance and love… but also one that couples will never forget.
Klip River Country Estate hosted its first annual Couples Evening as part of Intiem magazine’s Marriage Week for 2014. The tables were set in red and white with some candle light to create a romantic atmosphere. Loving couples were chatting and laughing excitedly while waiting for the evening to start.
Ivy and Alan Sutton were the guest speakers for this special event and they gave wonderful advice on how you can turn an ordinary marriage into an awesome marriage. Ivy’s vision has always been to make every woman an “Awesome woman of God.” She is known for her challenging and humorous style of addressing real-life issues such as building friendships, enhancing marriages and developing character. She has been invited to speak at women’s conferences, camps, breakfasts, special occasions (such as the Mrs. South Africa pageant for the last three years), the Rotary International Congress and various other corporate events. Ivy and Alan have been married for 33 years and have three wonderful children.
A lovely buffet was served afterward and couples also had the opportunity to make some special memories in our photo booth… It was truly a magical evening and Snap-Ease is proud to have been a part of it. We hope that someday we will run into these couples again and that their marriages will grow even stronger as the years pass.

A Carnival for Mediclinic’s Staff
admin Hot off the press September 9, 2014
Medical personnel often have a very serious… and sometimes even sad job. That is why Mediclinic Vereeniging decided to treat their admin staff to a day of fun. We were there to help them relax and enjoy themselves.
Three Rivers Lodge and Villa in Vereeniging was transformed into a colourful carnival on the morning of 3 September 2014, creating the perfect setting for the fun and relaxation that was going to take place later in the day.
Everyone at Three Rivers Lodge were very friendly and helpful and it was clear that they are well organised and comfortable with any crisis and function that comes their way.
Bright colours, candyfloss, sweets, hotdogs, cold drinks and gifts were displayed in a carnival like setup – with our photo booth welcoming guests at the entrance… ready for them to arrive and grab-a-prop-and-strike-a-pose.
Staff arrived in three sessions throughout the day and we still cannot decide which session enjoyed the function and the photo booth most. It was clear that they are all good friends as they wanted to make special memories together where possible – and we had up to seven people in the booth at once, which is a record!
It was a great privilege to be part of such a beautiful day. We enjoyed the function as much as the fun loving staff at Mediclinic Vereeniging and hope that we will meet again soon to strike-a-pose and make memories that will last forever.
