Traditional silverware and crystal chandeliers perfectly complemented African-themed surprises such as golden pineapples, leopard-print candle-holders and faux animal skulls.
Flower arrangements ranged from single proteas in classic white vases to luscious lilies, strelitzias and roses in rustic wooden bowls.

“We were delighted with the night,” says Kathy Page-Wood. “Everything came together for a magnificent evening that I’m very proud of.”
