There really is something to be said about watching your best friend become a teenager, then an adult, get her first job and then watch her get asked be a wife...I've been at your side for most life and I've never been more honoured, more proud to be with you at the beginning of this new stage of your life with the man who holds your heart. My heart was filled with joy for you both on your special day when you gorgeous people made your commitment to each other. I pray all God's amazing blessings on your lives!!

A brides support system is vital. Especially on the day she makes her forever commitment. I've had a the honour of working with for the second time now, first as a bridesmaid, now as the bride. She approached me to do her bridesmaids pieces for her in a colour I've never heard, and definitely will not forget. Cinnamon Rose. A colour that suited all of the ladies! What an absolute joy to have you all over for consultations and fittings! Congratulations and best wishes to Melissa and Brandon! And thank you to the ladies for the awesome journey we made!

After many years of doing pieces of severe structure, my client Nicole Weber-Williams challenged me to do a piece for her special occasion that required a soft simplicity that I'm not generally accustomed to. Even to a point where I found myself overthinking the plotting and construction. In the end, Nicole slipped into the dress and it was just harmonious liquid emerald beauty. An effortless drape that we both adored. Thanks Nicole Webber-Williams for this opportunity again. It was amazing!

Thankful.
That's what I've decided to crown yesterday as.
There's a moment of peace, quiet and reflection, that only lasts about a minute when a bride watches her bridesmaids walk down the aisle ahead of her and she waits for cue to go...in that tiny moment I'm blessed enough to watch all the emotions and excitement pass over her face.
Yesterday, that moment happened with the beautiful Chelsea Danielle Williams whom I've known since we were children. What an amazing journey it's been to this point. I'm incredibly proud to have been part of it. You looked absolutely breathtaking!
Blessings and love always to you Chelsea Danielle Mondlane and Bongimpilo Mondlane 💕🎉🎉🎉

I learn really important life lessons with the pieces I do most times. This piece...for the lack of a more descriptive word...monumental.
This piece was created for a client 2yrs ago. But production was halted due to the Covid outbreak. This piece has since been living in my studio for the duration of pandemic until last month, when the stunning Kirsten - a niece to the original client - slipped it on and it fit like a glove. An aspect I'll not easily forget.

So, with time, what began as an idea and a journey for one, ended up as a heart full of stories and memories for another. For God to have blessed me to be part of this - I am honoured.

Thank goes to Heather and Tara, Tracy and Kirsten for this journey ❤️💃🏻

There was never any doubt that the second Jay sat down in my studio, that it would end up in friendship and a suit so overwhelmingly dramatic - it made so much sense that it would be something that I produced into this world and Jay would breath life into it and together, this living, breathing source of awe inspiring piece of handwork and drama created gasp. And the objective was achieved.

A massive thank you to Jay Stephens who immediately spoke the same language I did. For allowing me freedom of design and who trusted the process. Friend you looked amazing!😍😍🥰🥰

It's when the dress is worn, that's when the dream is realized. That's when they're both alive!

Dearest Rebecca became one with her piece last month. It took my breath away. When I dressed her the first time. And now.
Thank you for commissioning this amazing piece from me. I loved it! And to for capturing these amazing moments so beautifully.

Let's revisit a bridal piece that still takes my breath away. Terri-Ann Curry's bridal piece was truly a labour of love as her first wedding date was interrupted by the outbreak of the pandemic. The postponed wedding however was nothing short of spectacular. Thank you for sharing your wedding pics with me Terri 💕

I'm blessed enough to take journeys with people, though brief, but still impactful. The gorgeous Tamlyn de Vos made her way down the aisle in the most breathtaking taking way in this stunning blush gown. I'm so grateful for the opportunity to have been a part of your journey. Blessing to you and your hubby always!❤️

I love the drama. I love rich, no half measure, full force, cut no corners, drama of a piece. Timiny you stunning Jasmine- like princess just shattered the idea of slay. I mean can you even take it!
You were stunning! Just breathtaking!

The new Mrs de Villiers was an absolute vision on her wedding day! It was an absolute honour to be part of my high school friend Pareen's big day. Not to mention the honour of doing her bridal piece for her. What a blessing.
And we pray massive blessings on her and Marco for a beautiful life together!

I do love a minimalist piece that's speaks louder than any other piece in the room. Doing this piece for the stunning Jada Paulse was such a great experience! Effortless! Clean lines, accentuated by beautiful textured lace. A huge thanks to Jada and Lynette Paulse for this fabulous journey!❣️

All glory to God who makes all things possible! To close the first bridal quarter - the lovely Tamzin Pheiffers! No other moment could bring into sharp focus the realisation of various shades of white. With ice white duchess satin, an overlay of China white organdy all detailed with milk white vine and pansie embroidered Lace that grows into the dress from the waist. You were breathtaking Tamzin! Thank you so much for our journey😍😍😍

I love fairytales.
Fact.
Doing this duel function cocktail dress that's transforms into a bridal piece for the stunningly gorgeous Chanell Taylor was such and honour and a treat!
The beautiful bride said I Do yesterday in Beaufort West, in a sexy, dream like cloud of n**e and white with intricate details.
A special thanks to Chanell who allowed me to do her piece for her, her parents who travelled from Beaufort West to attend fittings and those involved in dressing yesterday on my behalf. You were just breathtaking 😍😍😍‼️

(Apologies for the lack makeup🙈)

Some of my most favourite brides were the ones who are pedantic about fine details as I am. It means that the experience for both of us is a peaceful one - it is Namaste.
So yesterday my kindred was found in the drop-dead gorgeous , who down to the finest detail described what she'd expected from a dress. The outcome was Queen! An undeniable queen! You were just absolutely stunning! Thank you so much for this process! I loved every second of doing this piece for you! coll
