This year, curb the urge to use those same old red and green holiday decorations. Krugersdorp’s decor guru, Tasha Schoeman shares a few jolly good tips for setting the ultimate festive table.<\/p>\n

Growing up with the love of making things pretty, Tasha dove into the events industry very early in her life. Doing everything from flowers to photography and event decor, she has made a name for herself. \u2018Doing flowers will always be my first love. I always say that flowers chose me, and I never chose to work with flowers \u2013 it\u2019s what I was born to do. Besides that, I\u2019m also obsessed with helping women look and feel beautiful at my boutique and shop.\u2019<\/p>\n

At 32, she is also the owner of Hoppy Hearts & Hartz-verloren in Krugersdorp North and co-owner of Events Inspirations in Muldersdrift. In between all of her business ventures and events, she still finds time to be the perfect hostess and hosts unforgettable dinner parties … Tasha is a people person and enjoys spending time with friends and family who are welcome to put their hair in a bun and kick off their shoes as soon as they enter the Schoeman residence.<\/p>\n

\u2018We\u2019re a close family and do almost everything together. While I set the table, my hubby does the cooking … No matter what, there should always be a balance in your life. It\u2019s counter-productive to overwork yourself, so you need a balance between work, family and relaxing. That\u2019s what I\u2019ll be doing this festive season.\u2019<\/p>\n
