As these photos by Joe show, this intimate corporate event was nothing less than elegant.

We were recently very proud to be requested by Aleit to take part in the Live at Your Table event in Stellenbosch. Aleit had to present a workshop on party trends and decided to go for a paper theme. As guests received on arrival a vintage handmade paper flower – which the guests loved. One of the tables was wrapped in textile pattern paper topped with doily place settings and mini milk cartons with the menu, guest name and vintage artwork printed onto it. We always enjoy working for such a creative event and look forward to the next one!

How did you meet? We met through mutual friends in London. Unbeknown’s to me Alex was the guy in my housemate’s bedroom singing Roxanne by Sting repeatedly until 4am! He did come around the next day to apologize after he realized I had moved in. It took him two weeks to ask me out! How did he propose? We were walking along the Thames River passing Tower Bridge and taking in the sites when he popped the question, it was very romantic! The wedding day? Tell us what you felt and experienced. The day was absolutely perfect! The night before they had forecast rain but the weather turned out stunning....
