Elect Training Academy decided to change its name to ECTA Creative Solutions and you are the FIRST to know it! From January 2013 we will officially be known as ECTA and not Elect.

That will not change anything to our existing courses – only a few new added on courses that will start in January 2013. We stay the same…. Elect is a way and mean for us to equip you to be the best YOU that you can be. You where created and chosen for success… and we are there to help you to be all that you can be!

You are also the FIRST ones to know that we do have a new partner in the business – Jacques Greyling. Welcome to the business! Jacques will be handling all the website issues, the online courses and the IT of the company!

You are the FIRST to know that our new website will be launched in January 2013 with a lot of new courses and product added onto our already exiting list of courses and products! We will start from next year to sell the Lovegivity Wedding Planning Institute – Certified Wedding and Events Planner online course! Look out for our specials to start of the year!

The added benefit to buying your stock from our online store is the fact that these products is all hand made by our sewing job creation projects!

The most exiting parts of all the FIRSTS is the fact that I just came back from presenting our FIRST ever course in East Africa – Nairobi – Kenya.

It is a time of new beginnings!

We had 10 Kenya ladies, 1 Nigerian lady and 1 Mozambique lady on our course. We learned a lot from them and they learned a lot from us. All in all it was a huge success.

Our courses in Kenya are being presented as part of the curriculum that Devine Schools of Africa have. For more info on our Kenya courses pls contact ECTA - www.electtrainingacademy.co.za or Devine Schools Africa - www.divineschools.com

Wedding trends 2013 - Animal Shadow

 

Animal Shadow - Blush pink and grey

We can call this color combination a lot of different things: Animal Shadow, Blackened Tones, Blush and Shadow, Blush and Grey etc. Pink is normally a color for fairy tales and all girls loves pink when they are dreaming about things like ballet, weddings, parties. Then all of a sudden they realize that there are more to life than pinks, bubble gum and ballet.
Brides tends to shy away from using pink in their wedding but there is nothing more elegant and beautiful than a mixture of color – using a soft shade of pink combined with a soft green or a grey. With this  mood board we show you the muted pink, called blush, combined with different grey’s. If you combine blush with an elegant silver or grey – you will immediately manage to create a more elegant, fairytale atmosphere to your wedding.
If you look at sites from Vera Wang, Alitha Graham and Monique Lhuillier  - (http://www.glamour.com/weddings/blogs/save-the-date/2011/05/top-3-wedding-dresses-of-the-w-21.html) you will see how popular blush wedding dresses is for 2012 and 2013. The dresses are all very modern, elegant and feminine.
When you decide to bring in another color to your wedding it is best to start with the accessories. Your bridesmaid dresses, jewelry, handbag, the tie of the groom and then lastly your flowers.
Remember that a color is also a theme for a wedding. When you decide on a theme for your wedding start of with your invitations and take the theme through to your thank you gifts for the guests. Please look on the websites where we got the photo’s for this mood board for more ideas on this color scheme.
