Champagne Occasions is a company like no other. The whole company is based on a need that came about when the owner got engaged and was looking for unique quality items to help women enjoy their journeys as brides-to-be. 

“In my search for the perfect pieces to make my bachelorette unforgettable, I discovered that most of the products I fell in love with were only available overseas. I believe that South African brides should have access to these products too, and so I set up this online store making these items available here, at affordable prices.” Says Melissa, owner of Champagne Occasions.

Order via their online store:  www.champagneoccasions.co.za or via email:  hello@champagneoccasions.co.za

Most items are shipped out within 3-5 business days, but for large orders of personalized items, it can take up to 2 weeks.

Now you can order arrangements that won’t wilt, won’t need to be maintained and they will last up to 12 months, introducing Life Rosa. These are real, natural roses that last a year. Life Rosa roses have been preserved in a wax base solution in order to create a rose that lasts a lifetime.

People love receiving roses, it doesn’t even have to be for a special occasion, but no one wants to throw their beautiful bouquets away. Including their nostalgic wedding bouquets. This is how Life Rosa was born, these roses were created and designed to stay fresh and last up to a year.

"Our luxurious boxed arrangements or bridal bouquets can be crafted to your personal taste. Or, create your own fairytale with our beauty and the beast inspired domes." - Life Rosa

These high-quality floral arrangements are low maintenance, can be shipped anywhere in South Africa and only require a little dusting from time to time to keep them looking fresh and bright. The Life Rosa owners hand pack every delivery themselves to ensure only the highest quality arrangements go out. 

How do you care for your Life Rosa Roses? They’re super low maintenance because they know you don’t have time to water flowers – so, no watering is required, they don’t need sunlight either and they don’t like dust. Please don’t eat these roses, the wax coating means they are not edible and at times the colour can stain.  

These arrangements are the perfect gift for a loved one or a special occasion. Imagine Valentines roses that don’t need to be thrown away a week later, imagine proposing with some multi-coloured pastel roses that will last a year, a wedding bouquet that won’t wilt, or celebrate a baby shower with their turquoise blue or cerise pink arrangements.

There are 22 colours available.
