This is how you would be able to go about planning the perfect matric farewell.

You will choose a very well-known designer to make your dress, get your accessories from an expensive shop, and get the most stylish car for the drop-off. The best make-up artist will be doing your make-up at home and the hairdresser will be doing your hair at home.

You would plan a send-off from home, where guests would be invited to come to your perfectly decorated home for drinks, food, and pictures. There would be welcoming boards at the gate and coming into the house there would be welcome drinks that match the colour that you decided to go with.

You can decide to have a flower wall or a backdrop, which will be where your professional photographer will take all your perfect pictures with family and friends. And when all the pictures and speeches are over, you walk out the door onto a red carpet and get into your dream car, heading for an evening of fun.

And when you wake up the next morning and it all feels like a dream, you will have the photos to remind you of the magical night you had.

Your best four-legged friend may dress up too. 

Arrive in the unexpected.

The big send-off to a sweet evening.

Have a personalised backdrop or flower wall for your photos.
