Classic and Timeless Invitations

I love doing corky invites with illustrations and funky details but once in a while is also nice to do something more glamorous... It's nice to know that there are still some couples that  like elegant-romantic Invitations! 

Tarryn and Peter's wedding Invitations were a great project, quite different to the invitations I've been doing lately and must admit, even though it was a lot of work, I enjoyed every second of it.

The suit includes 3 different kinds of papers -texture, color and gsm- and has many details: from the heart-shaped-diamante and ribbon to the embossed sleeves - all hand-made by Mocho Loco. The envelope with the printed guest details finishes off this classic and timeless invitation. 

I hope you like!

Seem and B-rad's magical day

I woke up this morning and realized: "oh no... winter is here".... All of a sudden it's seriously cold, dark and rainy in Cape Town. Yes: great for hot chocolate and lots of dvd nights but already missing the beautiful sunny days...

So to brighten up the day I would like to share a few pictures of one of my best friend's wedding! Simone married Brad, the love of her life, in a stunning garden themed wedding in the quaint town of Montagu on 17 March this year. We travelled there on Friday afternoon and made a weekend out of it: it was so much fun!!!

I had the honor of being my friend's bridesmaid and was able to share with her every little moment of the most important day in her life... happy tears come to my eyes thinking on all the beautiful memories I have... thank you Sim once again for letting me share such special moments with you: love you so much my friend...

And for all of you that haven't seen them yet, here are some stunning pictures, mainly couple portraits, that the talented Renne Frows from The Famous Frouws took on the day. Enjoy!

Thank you cards

Happy Friday everyone!

I hope you have great plans for the weekend. I'll leave you today with the thank you postcards I designed for Robyn and Warren. Isn't the picture they chose stunning? Beautiful couple...

Enjoy, xxx

Mr&Mrs

Ingrid's best-bestest friend got married a few days ago and as a wedding gift she wanted to give the newlyweds something more special than a set of pots for the already all-furnished-equipped flat the couple owns. Therefore she asked me to make this beautiful pendant and set of cufflinks with the words "mr" and "mrs" engraved on them. Isn't that such a fabulous idea!

Both pieces have the date of the wedding engraved at the back and the heart shaped pendant is finished with a beautiful dark blue pearl detail (bride's favourite color).

Thanks Ingrid for giving me the chance to work on such an awesome project! I  enjoyed every little soldering of it... ;) 

Claire and Tyron's Winter Invitations

Who said you must get married in summer? Yes, it's true: is warm, you can show a nice tan and you are most likely to get a sunny day for your wedding. But there's really no rule on when you should get married so Claire and Tyron decided they will have a winter wedding and make the best out of it. And honestly the more I think about it, the more I like the idea: beautiful yellows, intense bordeaux and warm browns in the trees, soft light and a bride with a beautiful furry coat: I'm in!

Claire and Tyron are a young and hip couple and I got the pleasure to work with them :) For their wedding invite they wanted something romantic and timeless. The colour palette we work with was elegant brown, light cream and soft green. The suit consisted of 3 different sizes cards tied together with a beautiful warm-cream-heart-shapped lace and this was all packed in an envelope with the guests details printed on.

I hope you like!  ♥

Jes and Mark's Summer Wedding

It's Friday and that makes me very happy: yeayyy!!! And to celebrate here are some pictures from Jes and Mark's wedding in Arniston. This must have been one of the best weddings ever, ever! 


On Friday we all drove the 3 hours to Arniston, a little fishing village up the East Coast and filled up the only hotel for the weekend. On Saturday morning we got to enjoy the beach and swim in the beautiful warm water, had lunch and ready for the wedding :)


The ceremony was held in a beautiful old chapel a few blocks from the hotel so no cars were needed, so everyone just walked, including Mark and Jes. The reception was at the Arniston hotel where we were all staying. The party was incredible and we finished the night in the POOL! Yes of course: bride and groom as well.


Enjoy the amazing pictures that Travis and Marike from  We love pictures took on the day  ♥ ♥ ♥

 

Bianca and Stuart's Stationery

Bianca and Stuart are one of my favourite's couples I've got the pleasure to work with; they got married last weekend at St. Cyprians Chapel in town and had their reception at the Vineyard Hotel in Newlands. 

Soon, I'll post some pictures of their beautiful wedding. But in the meantime here is a preview of the stationery I designed for them: menus, church order of service, table seating, souvenir tags, etc. 

I hope you like. ♥

Cedric and Kirsty's Modern Invites

Cedric and Kirsty got married a week ago. They both live in Francistown, Botswana but decided to tight the knot in Cape Town, Kirsty's home town. 

Many of their friends flew in specially for the wedding not only from different African countries but also from Dubai, United Kingdom, USA and Canada.

Mocho Loco designed the wedding invitations and stationery for their special day... 

These are the invites: clean and modern perfectly square cards in cream, gold and olive tones. The suit consisted on 3 cards (light cream, Ivory and gold) packed in a beautiful folder with the couple's monogram detail. This was then packed in an envelope same colour as the folder and middle card with the guests details printed on each envelope and sealed with a custom made sticker.

I hope you like! ♥
