There are many reasons to celebrate and share joy, and this time, I will partner up with online flower delivery in Cape Town. I’ll get to the arrangement for my desk, but first…
- High Tea, Flower Crowns and a Spoiling for the Mom to Be
- Fine Dining and Bubbles to say Thank You to the ‘Work-Family.’
- Wine Tasting and Bright Bouquets and a Wedding to Plan for Friends Visiting from Abroad
- A Romantic Night Away with Roses and Candles to Celebrate a Wedding Anniversary
- Filling my Home with Flowers, Roses and Nibbles to Celebrate with Family this Festive Season
HIGH TEA, FLOWER CROWNS AND A SPOILING FOR THE MOM TO BE
I’ve spent hours in the office and on zoom calls with an exceptional colleague at work this year; she has greatly supported me. When I found out she was expecting, I knew I had to think of a way to make her feel loved and cared for before her little girl arrived.
I’m putting invites together for a high tea, and because I know that everyone won’t be able to make it, I’ll send them the details for flower and gift delivery in Cape Town with Fabulous Flowers. I’ll lay the table with a Girl just wanting to have fun at each seat. The Baby Girl Gift Box catches my eye; pink roses, snaps, dahlias and chrysanthemums, chocolates and a teddy bear just what I would imagine filling a home welcoming home a little girl. I know she will also adore the Loving Nurture Gift Set of body cream and calming body oil; what bliss.
I have a list of beautiful venues to explore, presenting a divine selection of speciality teas and trays laden with fresh cakes, scones and sandwiches.

FINE DINING AND BUBBLES TO SAY THANK YOU TO THE ‘WORK-FAMILY.’
There is so much joy in the simple act of being grateful. It’s been a challenging year, and I am grateful to my team. We've been working exceptionally hard to meet deadlines, beat the lockdown lulls, stay inspired, and keep moving forward. There are only a few weekends left to schedule our end-of-year celebration, and I have a few ideas on the perfect way to say ‘thank you.
A luxury gift box with bubbles, perfectly named ‘Steenberg Safari Gift Box’, a magnificent Bright Orange Glass Vase and a Family Picnic Time selection of shortbreads, chocolates and wine.

WINE TASTING AND BRIGHT BOUQUETS AND A WEDDING TO PLAN FOR FRIENDS VISITING FROM ABROAD
It’s been almost two years since we last saw each other! When last were you met at the airport with a bunch of flowers? It’s one of my favourite feelings. Bright colours and fresh scents are my ultimate treat after a long haul. My best friend and her fiancé are arriving from London at the start of December. I will meet them at the airport with a Bright Sunshine Bouquet. I'm sure this will be the best way to say, ‘Welcome to your summer holiday!’.
With their wedding plans on the go, we’ve been chatting about which wine farms to visit, possible venues for the big day and lovely travel suggestions for their friends visiting from abroad. What an excellent excuse to prioritise relaxed summer days sipping delicious wines in the sun! There’s no shortage of picturesque mountains and stunning settings, with welcoming, stylish and exciting wine farms to visit. Inspired by Fabulous Flowers and Cape Town Celebration, we’ve put Steenberg and Remhoogte Wine Estate on the list. Not to mention, Kleine Zalze, I’ll have a Bubbles and Blue delivered the day after our trip through the Stellenbosch Wine Route.
I’ve fallen in love with Fabulous Flowers’s wedding arrangements; maybe we’ll meet the Fabulous team at one of these wine farms soon! We’ll be making our way around the Cape, from Constantia to Somerset West and Stellenbosch; these are the farms we’ll be adding to our itinerary…
