Refer to our “Ninirichi Wedding Design Document” for more details on pricing structures and process guidelines. This fun modern African tablescape was built using our “SIMPLE TABLE DECOR PACKAGE” for the budget purposes and a combination of selected elements from two of our “TABLE DECOR STOCK SETS | Set 3- “Modern Gold Stock” and Set 23 – Painted Bottle Stock” as the foundation for the look. For this tablescape mock-up we want to illustrate the impact of adding a Bespoke Extra black and white bold pin-stripe tablecloth as the base of the design. The monochromatic eclectic center-piece display was built up from an assortment of gold vases and sprayed indigenous protea flowers and aloes. We added sprayed African animal models as Stock Extras on-top of the SIMPLE TABLE DECOR PACKAGE to further enhance the quirky African tablescape theme. We used a simple scalloped edge gold charger-plate, layered with a black linen napkin. The menu card was designed in such a way to act as a “backdrop” to frame the Bespoke Extra sprayed African animal favour detail. Stylish modern graphic detail was added through the table number card and menu cards as Bespoke Extras – elegant gold foiled graphics on black textured card stock – the gold splatter pattern suggestive of the African night sky.

This is the seventh blog post of our table mock-up samples; illustrating how one is able to totally customized the decor styling for your wedding or event using our TABLE DECOR PACKAGE pricing structures as a starting point for designing your very own tablescape. Refer to our “Ninirichi Wedding Design Document” for more details on pricing structures and process guidelines. This stylish modern tablescape was built using our “SIMPLE TABLE DECOR PACKAGE” for the budget purposes and our TABLE DECOR STOCK SET | Set 12 – “Glass Tank Vase Stock” as the foundation for the look. We used a plain white table cloth as the linen base for the design. We scattered lots of clear cube tank vases in various sizes along the length of the table – some housing protea stems and others candles. Due to the fact that the center pieces display comprised of many single pieces forming a pattern of itself; we opted to bring in a graphic chevron pattern through the grey and white linen napkins on each place-setting instead of on a runner which could make the overall design too busy. Simple retro graphic design was introduced through the Bespoke Extra table number cards and menu cards. The light pink shade was picked up from the proteas and the grey from the napkins. White washed grey wood laminate charger plates were used to bring in a subtle earthy texture which complimented the rustic texture of the flowers. Clear perspex ghost chairs were added as an elegant Bespoke Extra to pick up on the glass feel on the table. Using these same basic design principles we...

The team at Ninirichi Style Studio has once again collaborated with amazing top industry vendors to bring to life this theme and concept led by Head Décor stylist, Jeanine Richards. “It’s Chemistry!” tells the story of two varsity sweethearts and their love of science. We encourage brides to tell a personal story as a couple on their big day — what their interests are and their shared passion that brought them together in the first place. This imaginative theme was inspired and styled with chemistry, physics, geometry, botany and educational heritage in mind. Every detail and element, from colour to form was carefully thought out to create the scene for this story. Stationery designed by Charlotte from Ninirichi Style Studio. Metallic stock papers, floral references and inspiration drawn from the science theme and Periodic Table. Horizontal lines between characters suggest chemical bonds. A scientific-inspired monogram has been carried though all stationery. Saturated theme colours set against a stark white canvas with ombre hues and molecular-influenced font used on all stationery and printed elements. The wedding ceremony area was set-up under the amazing glass marquee at Shepstone Gardens – this striking concept styling made a memorable statement. A customized printed ceremony backdrop/aisle runner featured the the bride and groom’s personalized designed monogram and the vows that were shared. Floral focal points include suspended orchid hoops, orchid isle markers in Erlenmeyer flasks and floral-moss pomanders suggestive of atomic orbits. The post ceremony drinks area was setup with a striking deep-button padded bar and glowing display units by Liquid Chefs. Theme related smoking cocktail recipes were developed...

This was one of those truly memorable weddings to style. Our amazing couple – Tanya and Streten were a delight to work with as they knew exactly what they wanted and had impecable modern taste and a relaxed fun-loving vibe about them. It was an honour to be appointed to style their wedding by Natalie from Tickled Pink Weddings and Events and to assist her bringing their vision to life. The wedding was hosted at Katy’s Palace Bar, Kramerville, Sandton, Johannesburg, South Africa. Katy’s is a rustic urban industrial space that has so much character and atmosphere – yet is a fantastic neutral pallet to dress up and customize. The styling started in the parking lot with customized “Best Day Ever” signage so guests knew they were in the right place. Customized signage including the couples monogram. Simple floral displays at the entrance to the venue. The stairs leading up to the venue were decorated with theme colour bunting, flowers in galvanized buckets and customized block mount prints. At the top of the stairs you were greeted with a glass of bubbly served off our styled bubbly bar station. Walking into the venue you find a hand-painted rustic “No Seating Plan” board – setting the tone for an informal relaxed celebration. We custom-made a sweet “Honeymoon Fund” postbox for guests to pop their gift envelopes in. iew of the whole event space just before guests were to arrive – bridal party , photographers, decor team, organizers doing last minute preparations. In this unconventional wedding format the ceremony was held in the...
