Our designs for this wedding included a Digital Save-the-date with an online RSVP form whereby guests could update their dietary requirements and view accommodation options.  The wedding invitation simulated a travel ticket, with a tear-off functionality and a Custom illustrated map.

This couple had travelled extensively and we incorporated this idea into the seating plan. We used the abbreviations of the airports that they had traveled through, as the table numbers, which we indicated by silk-screening them onto lampshades, which were suspended over the tables (Credit to Something Different Lighting). Table seating tags indicated the “destination” which related to the hanging table number.

Menu’s were folded cards which were placed in double sided custom envelopes, addresses to each guest. These contained a thank-you note and had a beautiful ribbon detail.

For the additional stationery we created paper confetti cones with a map of the London Underground, “Wish you were here” postcards which guests could fill in and “post” in the inbox section of an open vintage suitcase. We created white laser cut signages stating “ Enjoy the Journey”, Coffee Bars, etc.

The order of ceremony translated into a travel passport, which had gorgeous vintage map details printed inside.

The candy bar Had a mini airplane with hanging canvas signage indicating it being the dessert table. Zoo cookies had printed icing with our artwork. Even the wedding cake (Wades Cakes) contained some of our artwork. The silver mirror cake topper which had Chris and Leigh-Annes Initials, but “CL” also doubles up as the abbreviation for number plates for Stellenbosch, where the couple had been married (Molenvliet Wine Estate). Floral designs by Okasie, Co-ordinated by Absolute Collection.

We created a customized monogram using their initials, as well as cameo illustrations of their silhouettes. The Colours were Navy and Pink with Creams and Nudes,

Using Modern Fonts and Vellum Papers. Menus were to be hung on Tiffany chairs and Doubled up as the Table Seating Plan!

We also Designed a Cake-Topper with their Cameos.

The Toast Enterprise recently collaborated with The GELIEFT Bridal Couture brand (Teresa Joubert and Stephen van Eeden) to celebrate their first annual BIRTHDAY Shoot. The basic idea was to create a day where brides could wear their wedding gowns for ONE MORE DAY, our aim being that it would form part of Geliefts’ brand Development…The photo’s could then be used  for Media and marketing purposes, as well as offer the brides a fun day where they could be inspired and show off their unique style one more time.

We were approached by Gelieft with the concept, and of course we had to say “YES!” to the great opportunity. Toast and Gelieft have collaborated in the past, where we designed and developed the distinctive corporate Identity for GELIEFT-Bruid & Prêt-a-Porter. The positive response from both our clients towards the brand identity preempted that a future collaboration would be inevitable!

Gelieft envisioned the shoot to be a ‘celebration of womanliness in the ambiance of a beautifully styled setting’ Their inspiration derived from the concept of a ‘Muse’- the epitome of lady-like glamour with contemporary exquisiteness; she is confident, determined and sensually demure. The Toast Enterprise, then hand-selected all the necessary service providers for the shoot…

Gelieft invited 20 of their previous clients / brides to accompany their bespoke gowns and partake in this extraordinary day,as it would be the ultimate annual event for their past/previous brides to wear their beautiful wedding gowns again.

15 Brides and 3 Models were all effortlessly styled by freelance stylist Jane Kotze and 5 dedicated Hair and Make-up Artists.  Stills were photographed by 2 notorious photographers, Jan Ras and Guido Schwarz, and the detail of the day meticulously video-documented by Theunis Stofberg.

Floral Décor was created by “All Occasions at no.99″,  where furniture and Props were supplied by Detail Interior Design.  All confectionery delights were supplied by Louise Veldhuizen owner of Mila – The Cakeshop.
