Aleit meet up with the German Magazine Hochzeitsplaner

It was so fantastic to meet up with Simone Sperle and her lovely partner Werner who is also a renowned photographer. We are proud to be associated with Hochzeitsplaner. How pleasant is it not when international media take the time to visit us in South Africa. Watch out for the next issue of Hochzeitsplaner wherein there will be a personal interview with our very own Aleit Swanepoel!

Touches of cerise

Jubilant, whimsical and playful… the deep, vivid pink palette brings to mind a time when I was a little girl and dreaming of my own wedding day and how it would feel when I’d fall in love head over heels.  On the other hand sophisticated and chic, incorporate the colour into any event - from an elegant bachelorette to a stylish up-beat garden style spring or summer wedding.  Remember to add a few masculine touches to ensure the boys feel welcome too!

The Aleit Group is pushing the boundaries once again…

At the end of 2011, The Aleit Group hosted the first event ever on the rooftop of  the Ambassador Boutique Hotel perched high on the rocks on the Peninsula, Bantry Bay, Cape Town was the venue for the Information Management Network (IMN) Conference dinner. Guests were shuttled in and welcomed at the Hotel entrance with a perfectly chilled flute of Graham Beck’s Methode Cap Classique. Guests were not escorted into the hotel with its beautifully framed picture perfect views through the bay windows as expected - but instead, they were lured to the roof where they could experience the unhindered panoramic views of the Atlantic in one of her fickle moods that day. With displays of dramatic grey cloudbursts to teasing rays of optimistic sunshine which was, by dusk, accompanied by the obligatory aggressive gusts of gale force winds- This was however not to deter in the least, the guests being greeted by the upbeat dual sounds of a live acoustic guitar and saxophone and they could savour the nuances of this drama playing out as the sun was setting, from the comfort of the clear span Marquee. The tent was decked out in the ultra chic starkness of  naked bulbs, and set off by the living pops of colour with the contemporary  arrangement of flowers  and stylishly set tables and sumptuous lounge furniture.

The sit down dinner delighted palates by giving them a choice of pairing each course with  Spier’s Creative Block range of wines. The evening drew to a close with a boisterous atmosphere as the guests cheered, marking the commencement of the conference the next morning at the Cape Town International Convention Centre.  A fantastic success for the A-team with spirits very high as the event proved that they could meet expectations and exceed them at a drop of a hat! Here’s to you....

Shades of plum

Lavender, fuchsia, pink or purple… the shades and possibilities are endless when creating a look with the colour plum.  This season, plum explodes in its drama and fullness when combined with whites, greys, silver,glass, crystal and spring blossoms.  Hues of purple and plum evoke  nostalgic feelings and reminders of lavish Indian summers.

Indigo

When you look at this striking mood board all colours seem to pop when indigo is introduced.  Brown, gold, champagne and touches of silver are the perfect backdrops for this eye catching colour.  It reminds us of deep blue Greek seas and Mediterranean coastlines... tranquillity comes to mind...  a bold colour for the adventurous bride!

Natural hues

 Soft hues in champagne, off white and light greys create the most romantic and sensual look of the season.  Glamorous touches are added with crystal chandeliers, dimmed naked bulbs and flickering candlelight.  Flowers are in stark contrast, being very structured and organic.  Undeniably our favourite style to be explored throughout the upcoming season.
