THE TABLE<br />
When Love Laugh owner Cindy offered to<br />
create a Heritage Day-inspired table for us,<br />
we knew we were in good hands. Passionate<br />
about people and creating beautiful<br />
bespoke events and weddings, Cindy and<br />
her team bring all their creative flair to every<br />
event they are involved in. From the Bully<br />
Beef and Lucky Star tins filled with proteas,<br />
to the shwe-shwe print napkins, classic tin<br />
bowls and elegant animal-print-inspired<br />
wine glasses … she didn’t disappoint!<br />
Cindy’s top 5 tablescaping tips:<br />
1. Try include stunning napkins. Printed,<br />
natural linens, or textured, this always<br />
elevates the look of any table when styling.<br />
2. Stunning, elegant, clear, coloured or<br />
embossed glassware is always good to have.<br />
Green is my go-to favourite at the moment.<br />
3. Accessorize with flowers and candles.<br />
Different colours and shapes of candles<br />
are great grouped together to create<br />
focal points. Add a few stems of gorgeous<br />
flowers, aloes, bunny tails etc.<br />
4. Remember this basic rule of tablescaping:<br />
layer with textures and colour.<br />
5. Try to have a theme or colour palette or<br />
find some type of inspiration to work from<br />
– this always helps create a gorgeous end<br />
result. Details: Love Laugh, Lifestyle Centre<br />

THE WINE<br />
Let’s be honest, a good bottle of wine<br />
is a verrrry important element of a<br />
braai! We were thrilled to have received<br />
these fab wines from the newly opened<br />
boutique wine store in Salt Rock, called<br />
Wineology. Owners Vanessa and Peter<br />
are passionate about celebrating<br />
unique wines and proud to be the only<br />
KZN stockists of the of Black Elephant<br />
range from Franschoek. Black Elephant<br />
Vintners believe that wine should not<br />
be about conformity or snobbery,<br />
but fun and experimental - and we<br />
couldn’t agree more. We got to taste<br />
the wines from their Festival range,<br />
all of which were honestly great. The<br />
names just are our favourite! The red<br />
blend is called ‘Three Men in Tub with<br />
a Rubber Duck’, the rose ‘Rose Rebel’<br />
and the Sauvignon Blanc ‘Two Dogs, a<br />
Peacock & a Horse’. We also tried their<br />
wine-in-a-can selection and we are<br />
officially sold! Hello new perfect picnic<br />
partner! Details: Wineology, Sage Centre,<br />
