15/07/2024

Under the canopy of Johannesburg's blooming jacaranda trees, Kirstin and Roberto celebrated their love in a garden-style wedding at a charming private heritage home on the Westcliff Ridge. The couple, whose cultural backgrounds beautifully intertwined Chinese and Portuguese traditions, created an atmosphere of elegance and warmth with their chosen colour palette of peach, cream, and blue.

Their special day began with a heartfelt Catholic wedding service followed by a traditional Chinese tea ceremony, which was a beautiful blend of tradition and reverence honoring Kirstin's heritage.

As the sun began to set and cast a golden hue over the manicured gardens, guests were treated to a culinary delight, featuring a sumptuous paella that paid homage to Roberto's Mediterranean roots, accompanied by Paul's homemade ice cream and an array of delicious Portuguese desserts perfectly complementing the serene and picturesque setting. The air was filled with laughter, joy, and the sweet fragrance of country-style blooms, making the afternoon a truly unforgettable experience.

Kirstin and Roberto, your love was palpable on your wedding day and a real testament to the beautiful journey that you have embarked on together. Your wedding was a perfect blend of romance and sophistication and a true reflection of your unique love story ✨

19/06/2024

In the golden embrace of Autumn, where every leaf whispers secrets of the earth and the air hums with the soft melodies of change, I present our enchanting vignette, "Autumn Melodies." 🍁🍂

Imagine a scene where nature's palette dances in hues of burnt orange, deep burgundy, and rustic gold, each color telling a love story as timeless as the season itself.

The setting is the idyllic countryside, where the gentle breeze carries the scent of pine and the sound of crunching leaves underfoot. The reception dinner table is one where everything is bountiful and overflowing in keeping with the Mediterranean aesthetic - being earthly and wildly romantic while also being an authentic extension to the beautiful arch the table was set under. Candles flicker softly, casting a warm, inviting glow that reflects in the eyes of two lovers lost in each other's gaze.

Our bride, draped in a flowing gown that echoes the grace of falling leaves, moves like a whisper through the forest. Her bouquet is a wild symphony of autumnal blooms, each petal a note in a song of romance and passion. The groom, in his timeless attire, stands steadfast, his love as enduring as the mighty oaks that surround them.

As the sun dips below the horizon, casting a golden sheen across the landscape, it feels as though time itself pauses to witness their love. Every detail, from the hand-lettered invitations to the intricate table setting, is a testament to the magic of this moment, captured forever in the heart of autumn.

"Autumn Melodies" is a celebration of love in its purest form, framed by the beauty of a season that reminds us all to slow down, to savor, and to fall in love all over again.

Join me in this romantic symphony, where every image sings a song of timeless romance and the promise of forever…

23/10/2023

Five years ago, we said "I do" and began this beautiful journey together. It feels like just yesterday, surrounded by our loved ones, we vowed to love, honor, and cherish each other for a lifetime. Five years of enchanting moments, cherished memories, and an enduring love that grows with each passing day.

As I reflect on our journey together, I'm reminded of the promises we made to one another on this beautiful day. With you, I've learned that love isn't just a word; it's a feeling, an action, and a commitment. You've shown me the true meaning of partnership, and I'm endlessly grateful for your presence in my life.

It was our own magical day, on October 20, 2018, that ignited the spark within me, leading me down the path of wedding planning and design. It continues to be my passion to create unforgettable memories for couples in love. Your unwavering support and love have been my guiding light on this incredible journey. Every day with you feels like a celebration of love and commitment, and I couldn't be more grateful.

Our love story continues to be my greatest inspiration, and I look forward to many more years of designing dreams and creating beautiful moments for other couples. But today, let's cherish the love story we've written together.

Here's to us, to our love that grows stronger with each passing day, and to a lifetime of happily ever after ❤️

I am a firm believer that we do not simply meet people coincidentally. The people we meet are meant to cross our paths; just the same way that I believe the couples whom I am honoured to work with, cross my path and I theirs. I am not sure of the reason, but I do know one thing for sure – each encounter is unique and sacred, and I treasure them all 🤍

Made for the daydreamers and true romantics at heart who would love nothing more than to stroll through lush, manicured gardens as the birds and butterflies flutter around, our dreamy '𝑁𝑜𝑡𝑒𝑠 𝑑'𝐴𝑚𝑜𝑢𝑟' editorial brought the enchanting world of Bridgerton to life. 🌿🦋💕

Waltzing through an era where love letters and stolen glances were the truest expression of affection; hearts whispering sweet secrets, and the vulnerability of the moment captured on paper.

Inspired by the phrase, "𝑆𝑜𝑚𝑒𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑜𝑙𝑑, 𝑠𝑜𝑚𝑒𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑛𝑒𝑤, 𝑠𝑜𝑚𝑒𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑏𝑜𝑟𝑟𝑜𝑤𝑒𝑑, 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑠𝑜𝑚𝑒𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑏𝑙𝑢𝑒," we embraced the timeless charm of tradition and the promise of the future.

The art of written expression continues to stand as one of life's most powerful instruments; a timeless keepsake to endure for all of time. A heart brimming with emotions, we transfer ink to paper. It's in these strokes that love stories are etched, dreams take tangible form, and the seeds of intentions and promises are sown. In this fleeting moment, we craft a precious heirloom that will endure through the sands of time. 🖋️📜

Join me in celebrating the magic of 𝑙𝑜𝑣𝑒 and the beauty of the written word.

Do you know what is more beautiful than a bride on her wedding day? A beautiful 𝑎𝑛𝑑 relaxed bride! One that is free of the stress that naturally comes with planning a wedding.

On one of the most important days of your life, your happiness is of the utmost importance, and the goal is to remove any and all sources of stress before the day even begins! It's a delicate dance of planning and preparation; a task that often only a seasoned wedding planner can execute to perfection.

When I founded By Blythe Events, my dream was to craft classic, timeless, and unforgettable celebrations for today’s modern couple. And while that dream remains steadfast, at its very core, my purpose is beautifully simple – to ensure that my couples are happy and stress-free so that they can truly enjoy their season of engagement and their wedding day to the fullest!

I am often asked, “what is it about weddings that you love so much?”

For me, it’s an absolute 𝑗𝑜𝑦 to build an entirely immersive experience centered around the couple from the ground up – every detail resonates with who they are, what they love, and tells their story in a way that only those who know them will understand. To an outsider, the wedding is a beautiful, romantic design. But to the couple, their wedding party, parents, and guests; everything feels so much more intimate and otherworldly because they recognize the couple in the design and how it tells their unique story.

My couples are always at the heart of what I do, and I am so honoured to be part of your journey!

07/05/2023

It’s hard to believe that it has been six months since this remarkable weekend for Kristen and David, who travelled from Austin, Texas for their intimate wedding celebration at the idyllic La Cotte Farm in the Franschhoek valley.

Welcoming their guests to a destination as meaningful as this to the couple was like letting their guests into a little part of their history.

From the itinerary of events and activities (welcome sundowners at their favourite bar in Cape Town, a morning group hike, and a cruise on the Victoria & Alfred waterfront) to the extraordinary views, to the intentionality behind every detail with a sophisticated retro feel; this weekend was the epitome of a destination wedding that still felt like home and an extension of Kristen and David at every turn.

Fields of white lace flowers danced in the breeze and climbing bougainvillea-covered walls painted a backdrop while overlooking mountain and vineyard views. Chilled hibiscus tea, Aperol spritz, springbok tartare, Franschhoek trout, and of course, short rib tacos and American-style hot dogs were among the few delights that guests were served. The tablescape came alive in front of guests’ eyes with the most impeccable blooms in a kaleidoscope of colour, chandeliers perched above the tables, and an array of vintage details handpicked by the bride. The dancefloor was electric as guests danced late into the night to the sounds of an Afro-Jazz band under shimmering disco ball pendants.

Effortlessly chic in every way and meaningful to the core, this weekend was all about welcoming guests to an extraordinary place close to Kristen and David’s hearts and sharing the beginning of their next chapter together. From the locale, to the fashion, to the itinerary of events, to the band and the stationery detail, it was an unforgettable wedding and one I’ll cherish forever!

Kristen and David, I loved every minute of our short time together and I am so glad our paths crossed. Your patience, calmness and artistic flair is something to be admired. I wish you all the best in this next chapter of your lives together, and hope to welcome you to South Africa again soon!

Romantic, picturesque, magical…Today we are dreaming of the Italian coastline as we invite you to be transported to dreamy Positano (even if for a moment). With a kiss of pastel hues and the most utterly romantic moments that are sure to sweep you off your feet; immerse yourself in this marriage of luxe style and true 𝘢𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦.

Celebrating Nyfi Bridal’s new collection of exquisite gowns adorned with luxurious lace applique and sleek modern silhouettes, this breathtaking editorial epitomizes luxury and romance.

The pastel colour palette – blush, lilac, ivory, and champagne – was wonderfully suited to the irresistible atmosphere of this private estate in the heart of Westcliff, and was expertly translated into summery, airy, and dreamy floral arrangements of garden roses, delphinium, lisianthus and hydrangeas.

Embellished with magnificent jewels and glowing, elegant hair and make-up, you’ll find me dreaming of magical moments in Positano all weekend long!

It is a dream come true to have our 𝘔𝘪𝘭𝘬 & 𝘏𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘺 editorial featured internationally on The White Wren

Tenderness, poetic detail, and an ode to beauty form a romantic unity in this enchanting vignette. Our aim was to create something exceptionally delicate, feminine, romantic, and ethereal in style.

The idea that something so stunningly beautiful can at the same time feel both effortless and unspoken is awe-inspiring! That was our goal of this shoot: to create a garden-inspired look that embodied the effortlessly romantic nature of a lush garden while incorporating a touch of modern elegance. The all-white colour palette, no lace gown, and modern tablescape all came together seamlessly - bringing our vision for a modern, garden-inspired wedding to life.

Our colour palette was inspired by the beauty of the spring season, blooming trees, and flowers that exude a sense of freshness. In addition to the enchanting floral masterpieces, it was the bride herself who was seen as artwork and as the epitome of perfection.

For me, this vignette celebrates the themes of patience, stillness, and new chapters in life. These concepts are so poignant for me currently, but are also key for couples embarking on a new season in their lives. Creating a juxtaposition between old and new, modern and romantic depicts that timeless beauty never fades – perfectly blending the romance of garden weddings, with a touch of modern elegance!

I am inspired by some of South Africa’s most beautiful buildings, lush gardens, and gorgeous landscapes. The backdrops of any number of this country’s finest architecture - in the bustle of the main cities or the quiet of the countryside - are my canvas to curate your wedding celebration.

Hosting your wedding at home or on a private estate is intimate, sentimental, and allows the magic of your couple persona to shine! The logistics of holding an event this special offers many opportunities for personalization. This comes with challenges too, and you will need meticulous organization before, during and after your event; a stellar team of vendors who are well-versed and equipped on how to bring your vision to life; and a dedicated wedding planner to help you coordinate every detail into perfect harmony.

If you are considering hosting your wedding celebration at a private estate or your childhood home, it’s best to reach out to a planner who can guide you every step of the way!

Natasha and Prince’s intimate 𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘳 𝘦𝘯 𝘣𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘤 was simply magical! Filled with hundreds of luxury white roses and thousands of twinkling candles, guests wined and dined the night away under the stars...

When Natasha and I met for the first time, it was like meeting with an old friend. We laughed and dreamed and laughed some more. Her brief to me was simple: “Blythe, I want roses and candles everywhere!”

There are so many beautiful moments from this special day that I will cherish forever. Natasha and Prince, thank you for sharing this new season of your lives with me. Your day was truly remarkable!

Event design is developed through textures, layers and colours but brought to life by what guests 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭 when they experience and interact with each element. The aesthetically pleasing details – fine tableware, custom stationery, textured linens – are more than visual. The perfect combination of these details represents the couple and brings meaning to each beautiful choice!

Today, I invite you to bask in an endless state of sunshine and enjoy the light and airy details from our winter styled vignette. Inspired by the annual flourishing of citrus orchards in the cooler months in South Africa, it aims to celebrate the beauty of the countryside and radiates a fine line between luxury and simplicity – where every detail feels increasingly opulent, yet beautifully understated.

One of my favourite aspects of this design was the colour story – our delicate palette blended yellow and pale pink to create a soft sunset melody that bloomed against the flourishing lemon orchards at Casalinga.

Brides seeking organic, cheerful, yet curated inspiration - this one’s for you! 💛

A well-organized event will result in a calm and composed bride. Wedding day details are not only the pretty little things, but also all the particulars – from timeline and floorplan to vendor management and guest experience.

My couple’s trust that their celebration has been thoroughly planned and they know that everything will be impeccably executed – aesthetic and logistic details all accounted for.

If you would like the same level of trust and expertise for your own wedding, I'd love to hear from you! I am currently taking bookings for 2023.

06/05/2022

As you continue the wedding planning process, two major guides will help you along your way – your wedding planner and your venue coordinator.

And although these titles may sound similar, it’s important not to confuse the two. While both roles may have overlapping duties, they are very separate entities indeed!

Your venue coordinator deals with aspects of the venue itself. They are typically a paid employee of the venue and are responsible for ensuring the venue’s staff and all venue facilities are ready for your celebration. They often manage multiple events at once and thus may not have time to devote themselves to your wedding alone. Whilst you may have regular interactions with your venue coordinator, your planning and strategizing remains the responsibility of your 𝘸𝘦𝘥𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘳.

The venue is just one portion of the wedding process. Your wedding planner is responsible for overseeing and managing ALL aspects of your wedding day from beginning to end. We recruit your dream team of suppliers, act as a central point of contact, and ensure all the finer details (from concept and design, to timelines and logistics) are perfected and thoroughly thought through. We are there for YOU - to ensure that everything you envision comes to life! ✨
