Christine Meintjes Part Two

The summer is pretty much gone in Holland...Weddings with bright, romantic colours are making room for Autumn and Winterweddings. So here is some last bit of bright yellow for you! Are you feeling the sunshine?
When Christine Meintjes told us the colour palette for this styled shoot I had my doubts, I admit...But I just love how all of the yellow turned out!




I adore the choice of flowers by Pink9Design. The little daisies, gorgeous yellow roses and also the very stylish succulents.


And how about the gorgeous stationary from Marrywise (Cardwise)... Photo by Anouscka Rokebrand.

The next photo was made by the sweet and talented Anouschka Rokebrand. I love the summer colours in this picture. And the beautiful couple in this styled shoot were actually just married in real life! Have a look at their own weddingday here


Christine Meintjes made some photo's of Nelleke and Marinus that made me silent. And that doesn't happen a lot :)




Just one more then...Because you need to see this one!

Christine Meintjes Workshop

If you found me on Facebook (yes, the facebook button on my site is coming soon...), then you must have seen these photo's already! But hey, they are all so gorgeous and inspiring, you won't mind to see them again, will you :) ?


The wonderful, sweet and talented Anouschka Rokebrand is not only one of my most favourite wedding photographers in Holland. She and her husband Raymond organize workshops in Holland, taught by worldwide leading wedding photographers. I think it's so amazing Anouschka and Raymond take the time to do all this and still make gorgeous photo's themselves! And I also think it's so wonderful that she creates the opportunity for other photographers to learn and get inspired!


Christine Meijntjes visited Holland recently to teach a workshop wedding photography and Anouscha arranged together with Jo-Anne van der Lelij a styled location for Christine and the students to work in. Guess who was lucky enough to make the cake..? All the vendors I got to meet that wonderful yellow day and work with were so kind and inspiring!


Christine is an amazingly talented wedding photographer from South Africa and co-founder of The Pretty Blog! Just take a look of the photo's she took this day.. More to come in another blog, there is so much eye candy to share! Promise I will talk less and let the photo's tell the story..

Vintage!

How I love one of the trends of this weddingseason; Vintage!
Finally there is a word I can use to tell my husband why I just bought another "special item"...
And to match this trend so dear to me, a design just ment for a vintage wedding!


It's not always necessary to have a large cake. It's all in the details!


Lucky for me, my sweet mother in law has a wonderful collection with all kinds of vintage lace, some saved from even before the fifties...Don't you just love familymembers with collections like that!

Sweet Appetite in the Beau Monde

In this months edition of Hollands most glamorous magazine; the Beau Monde, a wedding special. Ofcourse because of the upcoming Royal Wedding. Even in Holland we are awaiting April 29th !


And look who got to be part of it! I'm so proud! A simply wonderful mention and a recipe written by me...And I share pages with Peggy Porschen and Hidde de Maaslander, what more can a girl want?

Thank you Beau Monde!

It took a while to broadcast and I got lot's of emails asking about it, but here it is!! The interview that was taken with Peggy Porschen during the masterclass she taught for Sweet Appetite on February 21st, 22nd and 23rd.
It was aired on RTL Boulevard March 28 and what more can I say, it's wonderful. Enjoy!

Het duurde even voordat het interview met Peggy Porschen, opgenomen tijdens de masterclass die zij gaf voor Sweet Appetite, werd uitgezonden. Maar het was het wachten meer dan waard! Het interview met Peggy werd uitgezonden in RTL Boulevard op 28 maart jl. Geniet!
