LOVE is in the Air { WHY Jewellery }
WHY Jewellery ~ WHY LOVE
Some of the first things that pop into my mind when someone mentions marriage, are glittering diamonds and sparkling gold!
Call me out fashioned but I think most girls, still dream the same romantic dream! To meet “Mr Right”, fall madly in love, have a magical wedding day – filled with beautiful flowers, white lace, I do’s and happily-ever-afters!
I am a true romantic at heart and I was definitely one of those girls! One of my most treasured possessions is definitely my engagement ring, not only because of the diamonds and gold but more importantly because of who gave it to me and what it symbolises – “our love”!
As you know February is the month of love! Something which I have always thought is synonymous with love, is jewellery. Whether it is a heart shaped pendant for your teenage sweetheart, a sparkly diamond for your bride to be or a pretty pair of earrings for your valentine, jewellery is definitely a way to express your love.
When I first came across the Why Jewellery range, I was amazed to see that they had devoted an entire range to love – “WHY LOVE”
WHY Love is our largest range and caters to all ladies celebrating love, treasured family and friends. The range has been inspired by love and the immense beauty, passion and tenderness which surround the many different kinds of love. ~ WHY Jewellery
The WHY LOVE Jewellery range focuses on three collections created for the bride, bridesmaids and the mother of the bride. Their selection of engagement rings are both beautiful and affordable! I particularly love the beautiful Vintage Collection, which is so on trend at the moment!
Choosing an engagement ring is so exciting! Even if it is going to be a surprise, ensure you drop lots of hints along the way and show him lots of pictures. Even better, spend a morning trying on various options to give him some ideas. Guys, it is important to ask the right questions, find out what she likes and doesn’t like and if possible get her ring size!
If you are looking for something special for the mother of the bride or for your maid of honour, then why not opt for a gorgeous pair of pearl earrings. For your bridesmaids, a pretty pair of chandelier style earrings are perfect and something they can wear again. Other than earrings, a stunning pendant or name bracelet, would also be a great choice!
Naturally no wedding would be complete without a wedding bands and WHY Jewellery have got you covered with a great range for him and her!
If you would like to find out more about this beautiful range of jewellery, why not visit their showroom or pop over and have a look at the WHY Jewellery Website.

On My Birthday Wishlist
I do not know many people who do not like birthdays! Yes, it signifies another year passed and getting older but for me, it means getting to act like a kid again! Blowing out candles, opening gifts and best of all bossing everyone around for a day. I probably do that anyway, but at least now I have a licence to do it! I thought it would be fun to share a few of the things on my Birthday Wishlist. [Read more…]

Joy Wedding Venue at Gelukkie in Paternoster
We recently attended the launch of Joy Wedding Venue at Gelukkie in Paternoster. For those of you who have never been, Paternoster is a Seaside town, up the West Coast, approximately 2 hours from Cape Town.
Joy is the latest addition to Gelukkie, a smallholding situated just outside the town of Paternoster. Gelukkie is truly what I would call a hidden gem and is one of those rare, romantic places, which allows you to completely escape from the real world! As well as the recent addition of the wedding venue, Gelukkie boasts two beautifully appointed cottages.
Gelukkie is also home to owners Ruth and Andrew, a couple who have dedicated their lives to building a place, which is both unique and rather special!
Joy the aptly named venue, is the perfect setting for a magical wedding experience. The seaside location lends itself so well to creating an atmosphere, which is both elegant and relaxed. I love the simplicity of the traditional white washed-architecture, sage shutters and natural wood accents.
As well as gorgeous surroundings, a passionate and experienced family team, will ensure everything runs smoothly. A kitchen renowned for its excellent Fire Food is all you need to complete this picture.
The two beautifully decorated cottages, Klein Gelukkie and Nog ‘N Gelukkie, allow the bridal party the convenience of staying over at the venue. Paternoster itself, offers a wealth of additional accommodation options, for guests.
We had the good fortune of spending the night at Klein Gelukkie, after the event. What a spoil 🙂
Klein Gelukkie is a spacious self-catering cottage, containing a king size double bed, chill out room, dining area and fully functional kitchen. The decor is wonderfully quirky and the space is both cosy and inviting.
The kitchen opens out onto a beautifully landscaped private garden, which includes braai facilities.
Gelukkie offers the use of the Joy functions venue, semi-enclosed Garden Room, outdoor garden area and bar, as well as the services of wedding co-ordinator Cindy. You will also have the services of decorator and cook Ruth, and Byron and Andrew who will ensure that the food and bar services run like clockwork.
A variety of wedding packages are available and can be tailored to suit your specific needs. The team is on hand at every function to make sure that the bridal couple and their guests have a wedding experience, which only a sanctuary like Gelukkie can provide.
Visit the Gelukkie Website to find out more about celebrating your wedding, birthday or anniversary there or contact Cindy on 071 881 2831 or via email to arrange to visit and experience to magic of Gelukkie.
A big thank you to Cindy and her team for a wonderful afternoon and the use of their gorgeous accommodation!
