Featured Supplier : Anella Wedding Shoes

"Give a girl the right shoes and she can conquer the world." Marilyn Monroe.  Hanel from Anella Wedding Shoes is certainly on her way to doing just that.  Well, in South Africa anyway. 

Hanel has put together the perfect collection of bridal shoes to suite both the bride and the whole wedding entourage (mother of the bride, bridesmaids and flowergirls).  Offering a range of styles and heel heights, Anella shoes are both comfortable and stylish.  Add to this the fact that you can dye them in an array of colours, either for your wedding day or for additional use afterwards, and you've got a sure winner.

'My' brides that purchased from this range of shoes couldn't believe how comfortable they were and there are many testimonials on the Anella website to back this up.  

Below are a few of my favourites from the range ...


In addition, Anella offers ballet pumps in satin or leather in any colour for children and adults.

It is no surprise that this year Anella Wedding Shoes won the Bridal Shoes category in the ABIA awards. Congratulations!! A well deserved award.

Sadly, after months (sometimes even years!) of preparation your wedding day shoots past faster than one cares to imagine.  Considering the comfort of your shoes for this important day is vital.  You want to be able to remember all the little details of your wedding ... not all the little details of how pained your feet are!  Is it worth sacrificing good looks for comfort, though?  I think that Anella has been able to marry looks with comfort in a very stylish way.  What do you think?

Love,

Love is Enough


Ok, so the innitial attraction to this picture was, yes, the sparkle.  There's always room for more! 

However, the caption is very succinct.  I have long been a fan of an old group that sings a song "All you need is love" because no matter what you are experiencing in life, no matter what hardships you're going through and no matter how bad you may feel about yourself ... if you have the love and support of someone special, you're going to be ok.

The other side of the story is that when times are going well, when you're full of ideas that need to be shared and when you're experiencing something new and special ... yep that's right, it's all even better when you can share this with someone who loves you.

Being loved and loving in return gives you the energy and motivation to keep going or get going.  Love makes you happy.  Love is enough.

Do you agree with this caption?

Love,
