Vanessa and Evan’s Wedding Flowers & Décor
Posted by Evegenia Poplett
Vanessa and Evan’s Wedding took place at Shepstone Gardens on 17 September 2011. The colours was this wedding were white and blue. Vanessa wanted something elegant, so we chose to use silver bowls, single candle sticks and cut crystal vases to give a wedding an elegant and sophisticated feel. Since this is a Spring wedding, I chose to use gorgeous spring flowers such as Snow Ball Verbarium, Iris, Ranunculus, Roses and Delphiniums to create a white and blue wedding.

Spring Day Wedding at Oakfield Farm
Posted by Evegenia Poplett
Wendy and Dean’s Spring Day Wedding couldn’t have been more perfect, the sky were glorious blue and spring blossoms where everywhere! Oakfield Farm looked tranquil and there was a magical atmosphere of anticipation in the air.
Wendy and Dean contacted Splendid Affairs just a month before their wedding. Initially Wendy wanted to do her own wedding flowers but as the wedding day approached, Wendy decided to outsource flowers to Splendid Affairs. It was a blessing and a privilege to be part of this amazing wedding, so thank you Wendy and Dean for choosing me.
It was an absolute pleasure to work with Wendy and Dean, as they had a very clear idea what what they wanted – a soft and romantic look with pale pinks, greens and touches of mauve. I suggested that we work with available spring flowers (such as gorgeous ranunculus, freesias and blushing bride), adding texture using proteas, succulents, moss, and kolkol for a distinct South African Romantic Look.
Hannalee from Hannalee Photography did an amazing job capturing the beauty of the flowers. If you wish to see more photos from this stunning wedding click here.

Melanie & Anmol’s Amazing Wedding at Country Club Johannesburg
Posted by Evegenia Poplett
Melanie and Anmol are a very special couple, they have contacted me through the blog about 2 months before their wedding, all the way from Hong Kong. We had very little interaction before the wedding, mainly on Skype and a few calls and some emails. Mel and Anmol arrived to Johannesburg 6 days before the big day.
It was my privilege to have worked with them in creating a unique wedding where the elements of Asian and South African cultures were used in a modern and elegant fashion. The colours of the weddings were purple, black, white and silver – a refreshing mix of sleek modern glamour.
Stunning bridesmaids wore deep purple bubble dresses and carried textured bouquets made of Antheriums, Roses, Cockscomb and Willow.
Gorgeous Orchids, deep purple and white Lisianthus, white Tulips and glorious Pompom Chrysanthemums were the flowers of choice. We used mirrors and multitude of candles and solid white vases, as well as clear glass ones. The effect was truly breathtaking.
Mel and Anmol are beautiful inside and out. I wish them both many, many, many years of happiness and joy!
