SPLENDID NEWS!!!!!!

You last heard from us 633 days ago, and it was a sad post. Today, we are here to put smiles on your faces as we share SPLENDID news!

The Lafe Team reunited on the 28th of May 2022 to design a magical wedding for one of the Lafe Classic Functions directors and the love of her life at The Royal Livingstone Victoria Falls Zambia Hotel by Anantara. No, we are not reopening the business, but the former team / Lafe family had a phenomenal time erecting unique structures, assembling exquisite furniture, designing beautiful floral arrangements and celebrating love! It was an iconic event!

Let's focus on the decorative details of this love commitment celebration. The color palette chosen by the bride and groom was modern and timeless. Their intimate ceremony, lounge meets nature cocktail hour, and elegant reception had the most stunning furniture. The good news is that the ceremony arches, sweetheart tables, cocktail tables, bar stools, lounge sets, trolleys, mirrored tables and trays, custom-designed backdrops, dome and dancefloor, his and hers throne chairs, black and gold velvet chairs, gold ice buckets, and a welcome sign frame to name a few are on SALE! The luxurious items were only used for a few hours as they were purchased and designed for this event.

The lovebird's event was adorned with elegance from the breathtaking venue, the bridal party’s attire, the timeless décor, the scrumptious cuisine, and the guest's stylish outfits. However, what we cannot get over is the amount of love in the air from the couple, their families, the hotel staff, the vendors, the hotel guests and the Lafe Team. We hope you feel the love as you make your purchases and design the furniture in your homes or at your events.

Thank you for always cheering us on during the blissful days and for comforting us during the dark days!

With love,

The Lafe Team

On the 31st of August we bid our Lafe family farewell when we decided to close the business and pursue our own dreams.

Little did we know that our one and only brother’s dream was to earn his angel wings and be reunited with his late father and mother.

Our brother Siwetje Mwale Sh*tima passed away on the 12th of September. We are extremely heartbroken but our hearts are filled with gratitude. Thank you for the outpour of love extended to our family during this time of our loss.

Our brother’s charismatic personality brought the Lafe team together for one last “Lafe masterpiece.”

May the good Lord richly bless you all.

Dear Beloved Lafe Family,

As you know, Lafe Hotel and Lafe Classic Functions were owned by our late mother Mwansa Emmy Mwale. She was the most elegant, organized, professional, and hardworking woman we have ever known. She was also an entrepreneur at heart — she owned a salon, flower shop, restaurants, a hotel, and a dècor company at different stages of her life. Her dying wish was for her dècor company to become a household name — WE DID IT, MOTHER!

We endured late nights and early mornings, sleepless nights, time away from our precious families, and the stress of maintaining the high standards she set in the industry. It sounds like we’ve been living an entrepreneurial nightmare but the truth is that keeping her legacy alive has been nothing short of fulfilling.

This post serves to inform you all that we have OFFICIALLY CLOSED Lafe Hotel and Lafe Classic Functions after five years of keeping our angel mother’s dream alive. It is time for us to chase our own dreams.

Thank you for trusting us with your events, and for cheering us on! We ask that you continue to send prayers up for us as we embark on our next adventures.

With love,

Siwetje, Chisanga, and Mhlabangubo

Happy Monday Facebook Family! We know the past week has been a complete whirlwind and we pray you are taking care of yourselves in these difficult times as we are all facing the COVID -19 pandemic.
We hope you are taking all the necessary steps to be safe and healthy as a community!

We would like to share images that brightened up our Monday with hopes that they will put a smile on your faces too.

We designed this intimate gender reveal for a special couple a few weeks ago, and we cannot get over how stunning it was.

The couple is expecting twins and they did not know the genders at the time. Let's play a guessing game! Can you guess the genders of the twins?

HAPPY WOMEN’S MONTH:

Tag an inspirational woman you know and encourage her to create a vision board. Also, make sure you create one for yourself.

We hosted an intimate group of women earlier this year for our very first vision board party. It was amazing to see the women get creative and passionate about their 2020 goals.

Are you clueless about what a vision board is? Let us give you a brief description: “A dream board or a vision board is a collage of images, pictures, and affirmations of one’s dreams and desires, designed to serve as a source of inspiration, and motivation, and to use the law of attraction to attain goals.”

Thank you to all the beautiful ladies who attended the event, and to our ever-so reliable vendors!

ISHAAN & TASKINA'S WEDDING:

If you are dealing with Monday blues then this post is the perfect picker-upper for you. It is impossible to view this stunning production and not turn your "it's Monday" frown into a "love is beautiful" smile.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for rooting for us as we continue planning, coordinating and designing memorable events. It is never easy to turn a client's vision into reality, but we promise to keep soaring high!

Lastly, we would like to draw your attention to some of the features that put a smile in our creative hearts; the traditional aspect of the event, the fresh florals used to design the tablescapes, the themed backdrop, the exquisite outfits, and of course the dessert station. Do tell us what caught your eye as you scrolled?

MEHNDI NIGHT:

We promised to take you down memory lane with us as we reminisce over our first events of the decade.

We planned, designed and coordinated this unique Mehndi in the comfort of the bride's family home. It was yet another memorable experience for our team because the client's brief required us to work with bursts of colour while incorporating traditional prints.

You will spot the traditional prints in our decor and the guest's outfits. The prints were used to represent the bride's heritage having grown up in Zambia. We thought that was pretty amazing!

Thank you to our proactive team of vendors for helping us execute our couple's vision!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

We entered the new decade with a bright and beautiful bang and we will be showcasing the events that have kept us busy thus far.

The first event we planned, designed, and coordinated this year was a Gaye Holud held at Taj Pamodzi Hotel. In order for us to successfully execute this we had to get comfortable with using a plethora colours because Holuds are meant to be bright and fun.

Thank you ever so much to the amazing vendors we worked with to ensure that our clients and their guests only stress was what their next dance moves would be.

Keep your eyes glued to our page to see the other two events we designed for this amazing couple!
