Aleit Event Projects recently coordinated the ABSA Capital Cape Town Year-end Event, which was a snazzy occasion hosted at The Runway in Cape Town. With the sounds of Goldfish and Nomfusi creating a lively but sophisticated vibe, it was the perfect evening to round off 2009. The gorgeous decor was expertly put together by Floral Affairs and Johnny from The Aleit Group, who envisioned a club/lounge party theme. The look incorporated both organic and classic furniture, coupled with modern decor elements, all from FOCI, Okasie and Lounge Around. Stir created an array of tempting canapés for the evening, while...

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!

Stephanie and Mark’s beautiful wedding was celebrated last Saturday at Clouds Estate. It was a hot and sunny day, the perfect setting for this elegant wedding which included decor details such as chandeliers, delicate pink and cream roses and elegant outdoor lounge furniture where guests could sit and take in the views. Guests were also treated to an African music performance, as well as a game of croquet or two on the estate’s lush lawns. True to Stephanie’s Greek heritage, there were plenty of mezze platters and Greek dancing. We love these gorgeous photos by Ryan Graham; be sure to visit...

We all know that most brides spend many months dreaming up the perfect wedding gown, but finding the right outfit can be just as important for the parents of the bridal couple! Their outfits must not only match the wedding theme, but also look good together. It’s even better if parents can invest in formal attire that can be worn for other special occasions. Our advice for parents of the bridal couple is to opt for harmonious styling, but without worrying too much about being perfectly coordinated. A tie is sometimes the easiest and most elegant way for the father of the bride to incorporate the colour...
