VENDOR SPOTLIGHT: CHRISTINA HOLT WEDDING CONCEPTS HOW DID YOU START WEDDING CONCEPTS? I started Wedding Concepts seeing a gap in the market here in South Africa at a time when the wedding planning industry was in its infancy and no-one offered a strong focus on exclusive designs and great, bespoke 5* planning service. Being German and having lived & worked in different countries around the world before I started my company means I follow international trends and love immersing myself in different cultures. WHAT INSPIRES YOUR CREATIVITY? Traveling inspires me most - my love for European culture, fabulous food, photography, design trends, and boutique hotels. I have soft spot for luxury and elegance – and all of this inspires my life & work. YOUR COMPANY HAS MADE A GOOD NAME FOR ITSELF ON THE INTERNATIONAL BRIDAL SCENE, WHAT SETS YOU APART FROM THE REST? We are the only European owned wedding management company here in South Africa (and dare I say possibly Africa…) and employ an amazingly enthusiastic, multi-cultural team with a truly international mind-set. We always try to push boundaries and to set some new design trends with our weddings. Luxury, bespoke designs, great attention to detail and hand-crafted exclusivity are high on our agenda. Each celebration has its unique signature and is a complete reflection of each of our clients – down to the smallest detail.
