Wedd's Day 4.0

IMAGE | VOGUE

A numbers game, share your special moments with guests and they’ll be just as swept away on your day as you two are! A play by play with dates that outline your love story will not only be great for guests, it will be adorable in pictures years to come.

Table numbers are turned into dates and significant numbers that have impacted the two of your lives. Guests will eat it up! This will give each table something to toast to around the room and break the ice for new friendships to forge. 

(Add details about the table #'s significance below the number - or however you see fit!)

Sunday Stretch: Find Your Zen



Sunday has finally arrived, the day it feels like we can take a deep breath, slow down and sit back to relax and enjoy the work we've done all week - and recover from the partying that followed.

Breakfast on the balcony anyone?

Nothing beats a hot bath...but a hot bath with this view!

Light your favourite scented candle and please one of your most important mood boosting senses. 

Fresh-cut cucumber over your eyes for an hour will reduce any puffiness from over-induldging the night before!

The RECIPE





CHILLED SWEET AND SOUR CUCUMBER NOODLES

yield: 4 SERVINGS


prep time: 2 HOURS (INCLUDES CHILLING)

INGREDIENTS:

2 medium cucumbers, peeled
1/2 cup diced red onion
3/4 cup rice vinegar
2 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
1 1/2 teaspoons white sesame seeds
Equipment: a mandoline or spiralizer

DIRECTIONS:

Attach the julienne blade to the mandoline and adjust it to the 1/8-inch-thick setting. Applying medium pressure, carefully run one of the cucumbers down the blade to form noodles, slicing until you reach the core. Rotate the cucumber a quarter turn and continue slicing and rotating until you've cut the entire cucumber. Repeat the slicing process with the second cucumber then transfer the cucumber noodles to a medium bowl.
Add the red onion, rice vinegar, 1/4 cup water, sugar and crushed red pepper flakes (optional) to the bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the cucumber noodles for a minimum of 2 hours, stirring occasionally, until chilled.
While the noodles are chilling, toast the sesame seeds in a small saucepan over low heat until golden brown.
When ready to serve, use tongs or a slotted spoon to transfer the noodles to serving plates and top with the toasted sesame seeds.
Kelly's Notes:
If you're using a spiralizer instead of a mandoline, simply twist the cucumber into the spiralizer to form noodles.

Wedd's Day 3.0

IMAGE | VOGUE
Weddings On The Beach:

Ever attend a beach wedding and as you're getting ready think... hmmm what shoes do I wear? Heels will sink, wedges are clunky and usually not dressy enough and sandals just seem too casual bejewelled or not!

Well... while planning your OWN beach wedding - think ahead for your guests and make it easier on them. We have two ways you can do that effortlessly...

The Nudwear Pinterest

At The Ceremony:

Lighten up the load for guests by organizing a shoe shelf at the entry way to the beach. With a "shoe check" there assisting guests and suggesting they remove their shoes, everyone will be more comfortable!

The Nudwear Pinterest

At The Reception:

It never fails. Once dinner is over and the drinks are consumed, somewhere between cocktails and dessert, the ladies start to complain about their feet aching and just begin begging to kick their heels off. Some are smart enough to bring their own set of back up sandals in their clutch (should it be big enough) while others will feel obliged to keep their heels on, determined not to destroy their ensemble. 

What to do?

Leave a basket by the dance floor suggesting that ladies kick back, relax and have a good time in a pair of flip flops! Look to the dollar store, and party magazines for a bulk buy and tie each pair with a size tag included so guests can grab their size without digging!
