A sneak peek of what one can expect will be on offer at the inaugural
Franschhoek Wedding Showcase on Saturday, 18 April.
Adding an extra dash of excitement to the day will be the team from
The Pretty Blog who will be presenting two mini workshops. Entitled ‘I’m engaged what now?’, these workshops will be the lifeline for all brides-to-be offering invaluable advise on organising one’s perfect dream wedding. Christine Meintjes, published wedding photographer and founder of
The Pretty Blog, will be presenting the workshop together with
The Pretty Blog editor, Toni Fawzy.
Meintjes has been part of the industry for more than 10 years, and knows the ins and outs when it comes to wedding planning. Fawzy recently got married and all the organising is still fresh in her mind. Sit back and take in what they have to share about the basics of wedding planning, while giving one a few tips on how not to break the bank.
A trip to the Franschhoek Winelands over this weekend will get one’s creative juices flowing as well as add hype and excitement in preparation for one’s ‘Big Day’. A selection of wedding suppliers will be pulling out all the stops, and include venues, dresses, cakes, stationary, music, DJ’s, photographers, wineries and so much more. An added attraction to the event will be the launch of Franschhoek’s online wedding registry. This allows the bride and groom to select wedding gifts from Franschhoek specialist shops and wineries.
To allow for a unique showcase a centralised venue will be set up at Le Franschhoek Hotel & Spa. Not only is Franschhoek the most romantic wedding destination, but it is also the perfect weekend getaway. Use this weekend to relax and unwind, and possibly arrange to visit Franschhoek wine farms and other properties who specialise in weddings (by appointment only).
Tickets cost R80 per person and are available from
www.webtickets.co.za or on the day at Le Franschhoek Hotel & Spa.
Both workshops will cover the same topics and cost R120 per person, which includes entrance to the
Franschhoek Wedding Showcase. One can book directly through
www.webtickets.co.za.
