Our students absolutely brought the vision to life with their very first styled shoot group project, and we could not be prouder of the outcome.

From the rich florals and romantic stationery details to the dramatic styling and beautiful creative touches, the “Forbidden Fruit” concept was executed with so much passion, creativity and attention to detail. Every element was carefully thought through and designed to tell a story and seeing it all come together was incredibly rewarding.

One of the most exciting parts of our courses is watching students take what they’ve learnt in class and transform it into something real, practical and visually beautiful. This shoot was a true reflection of teamwork, imagination and the talent growing within the next generation of wedding and event professionals.

We honestly think they did an amazing job for their very first shoot

A huge well done to all the students and creative partners involved your hard work truly paid off.

One of the most exciting parts of our Wedding & Event Design Course is watching our students take everything they have learnt in class and bring it to life in a real styled shoot environment 🤍

As part of their group assignment, our students were tasked with conceptualising, planning, styling, coordinating, and executing a full Korean-inspired styled shoot… we are SO proud of what they created.

From the beautiful cherry blossom-inspired styling, delicate parasols, floral design, stationery details, table styling, fashion, and overall atmosphere… every detail was thoughtfully considered and beautifully executed.

Styled shoots are such an important part of the learning journey because they allow students to experience what it truly takes to work together as a creative team within the wedding and event industry from idea development right through to ex*****on on the day.

This shoot was elegant, creative, romantic, and full of personality, and we think the team did an absolutely incredible job.

A huge thank you as well to all the amazing suppliers, creatives, models, and service providers who contributed towards making this vision come to life.
Your support, talent, and collaboration are so appreciated and play such an important role in helping grow and mentor the next generation of wedding and event professionals in Africa 🤍

We are incredibly proud of our students and cannot wait to see where this industry takes them next.
