List of Wedding things not to forget

List of Wedding things not to forget

Planning your wedding is fun, but there are so many things to remember. Here are a few things we always find brides forget and then it result in a last minute rush that is stressful.
Saying thank you - our journey

Our Journey with Simply Favours the past 12 years

— Ria De Beer

The past two years have been a very rocky road for Simply Favours. With the wedding industry coming to a complete halt for the first time in, well, for as long as your grandmother probably can remember.  It made us sit back and re-evaluate our business.  We would love to share our thoughts with you.

Lock down notice

— Brigitte Kind
As you are well aware by now, President Cyril Ramaphosa announced a nation wide lock down starting mid night on 26 March 2020.

This is untested times for us all and having to postpone your wedding is absolutely heart breaking.  We can't express our sorrow enough for the brides who had to postpone their weddings due to this outbreak.

Managing your stress and getting that perfect body for your big day

— Ria Fraser
From the day you get engaged, there is this amazing bubbling feeling inside you, but with it also comes an underlying stress that you may not even notice in the beginning.  Planning a wedding is very stressful and you put a tremendous amount of pressure on yourself to make sure your big day is perfect, but not only that, you also want your body to be perfect. You want to start your life together in a flawless bubble of love with all your friends and family there to share in the happiness with you. This expectation is a very big thing to carry on your shoulders. We think Yoga may be the perfect solution for you

Soft and colourful Pashmina favours for winter

— Ria Fraser

We just unpacked our beautiful Pashmina favours, an added bonus is that they are currently part of the FLASH SALE. Offered at a 50% discount!!!

They are soft and the perfect winters wedding favour. Roll them up and put them in a basket with a personalised thank you tag that reads “To have and to hold and to keep out the cold” or whichever wording you would like to use.

Shoes are a girl's best friend

— Ria Fraser
Shoes… I know they say diamonds are a girl’s best friend, but I honestly think shoes should get the honours of being our best friends.  They just round of an outfit so beautifully, changes your posture, lifts your mood and honestly can simply brighten your day when you find that one stunning pair of shoes on a SALE.  When you choose your wedding shoes there are a few things to consider though, so we thought we would see if we can’t give you some guidance while being forced to look at pretty shoes :-)

Including pets in your wedding

— Ria Fraser

Our pets are such a big part of our lives, it is often quite a debate whether or not they should be a part of the wedding.  We say 100% yes they must be a part of your big day!! Not only will these make for beautiful photos, but it makes for such wonderful memories.  There are a few things that you must consider before you make your final decision though.  We thought we would make a list for you to help.

Personalised wedding favours and gifts just adds that extra touch

— Ria Fraser
A wedding is such a special occasion, and to put your personal stamp on your reception tables are a wonderful way of creating beautiful memories.  Although our favours are beautifully packed with their own thank you tags, even we must admit, personalising the gifts just add a lovely touch.  That is why we have decided to increase our offerings for personalisation.

Bachelorette ideas

— Ria Fraser
To be the maid of honour is exactly that, such a big honour.  It can also be a scary job as the you want to make sure that your friend has the best time of her life.  To host a bachelorette can be quiet challenging as it has to be fun and different.
