Imperfect Perfection

THE HONEST TRUTH: if you want to know the truth about a venue's service and food ask the photographers. They have been everywhere and seen it all. At Imperfect Perfection, we pride ourselves on looking after service providers because we know their value. Strong, consistent, skilled, experienced photographers, videographers, makeup artists, DJs, dress designers, stationery, bakers, florists, and stylists will ensure an amazing event. Weddings are a collaboration of many service providers, choose them well. A service provider that undercuts other service providers by trying to offer cheaper just to stay in business, is doing the entire industry a disservice. The wedding industry in South Africa is in turmoil because the middle class is struggling financially, yet we all buy online from fast Fashion services. Did you know that any small business owner creates jobs and pays wages? We all cry about crime, but local clothing stores are closing down and thousands have lost jobs because we got it cheaper online. Cheaper isn't always better, making a choice to use South African service providers, even for your confetti, or bridesmaids' dresses, is the responsible thing to do. CHEAPER comes at a COST that is mostly experienced in HINDSIGHT. Not everything can be manufactured in South Africa, I get that, but at least buy from a South African company, so that the company can benefit. Getting married as with any other milestone, does not give us immunity to social responsibility. Support ethical South African or a least African businesses, they are ultimately creating jobs and pay salaries first before they pay themselves. Please tag someone if you feel this message has value. Although we all compete we need to stand as one to educate our customers because we want what is best for them but also teach them our own value.

An amazing story of love. A couple with deep roots and strong wings. A couple with strong family bonds and God fearing parents that have brought them up to run past the winning line, to go big or go home and to make every minute count. Minke and Maré, your wedding was just one for the books. Thank you for CHoosing Imperfect Perfection. Please read your story on Facebook, unfortunately, it is a bit long for instagram.

Oomblikke, die wêreld is ‘n ketting van oomblikke wat aan mekaar skakel en die skakels van die ketting is alles deel van ons groter ervaring. In my eie lewe onthou ek hoe my ma, wanneer sy my klere maak, se hande sag oor my lyf vat as sy die verstellings doen, ek onthou hoe ek nog vandag na ‘n troue met my kop op haar skoot lê en sy deur my hare streel, ek hou haar dop as sy kos maak, hoe sy die lepel vashou, hoe sy haar koppie vashou as sy tee drink en hoe sy die beste rugkrapper is in ons hele familie. Ek sien dikwels hoe sy sit en haar een hand haar ander hand soek, soos pasmaats. Nou dat ek ouer is, kyk ek met ander oë na my ma se hande, want nie almal het daai voorreg om ‘n mamma te tê wat so “byderhand” is nie. Met Minke en Maré se troue was daar ook ouers se hande. ‘n Ma wat die bruidmeisierokke gemaak het, kerse gemaak het, ‘n pinata gemaak het, ‘n pa wat die bruidegom se skouerruiker aangesteek het, hom saggies met sy hand gelei het, om bietjie regop te staan, om die handgemaakte “flyfishing vliegie shouerruiker, perfek vas te steek, soveel goed by die troue was handgemaak. Soveel hande was gevat, soveel gebede was gebid, en soveel van die gaste het hand aan hand gewandel op Heilige grond, wat God self kom voorberei het. Die mooiste handgeskrewe briefies was die gastegeskenke, selfs ek het een gekry. Van al die goed wat ons aanlyn kan koop, kan geen geskenk hierdie handgeskrewe briefies klop nie. ‘n Briefie in pen en ink, sonder knoppies en krag, met die hand geskryf, iets wat jy in jou bybel kan bêre, dit gaan sit nie op ‘n “cloud” of verdwyn van jou whatsapp geskiedenis nie, dit is letterlik die geskenk wat ‘n ereplek êrens sal kry in ‘n boek of ‘n bybel of in ‘n bedkassie, want wie wil nie weet hoe geliefd hulle is nie. Wie wil nie soms terugstap in die verlede in die herhinneringe van die verlede weer lees en beleef nie? Jy sien, hierdie is wat Imperfect Perfection bruidspare anders maak, hulle respekteer tyd en heg waarde aan tyd. Vir sommige mense is ‘n handgeskrewe brief net te veel moeite, dit neem te veel tyd, dis net makliker om op die “fast fashion” trein te spring en goed vir R5 te koop om ‘n boks te tick, gastegeskenkies “done”. Niks van hierdie troue was ‘n ‘n verpligte ticklys wat ons tick en afhandel nie, alles rondom hierdie troue was beplan en ontwerp om te onthou. Oomblikke was uitgerek om vir ewig te hou, soms laat ons so maklik die tyd van saamwees deur ons vingers glip, want ons raak te besig om te kompeteer of kers vas te hou aan die status quo dat ons vergeet, dat ons voortdurend onsself moet herhinner :" What if this is as good as it gets? "Wat as vandag die beste dag ooit is, maar ons gaan dit eers more besef. Ek is nie self ‘n ouer nie, maar ek het groot bewondering vir alle ouers, maar veral beide ouers van Maré en Minke, want wat ‘n merkwaardige mylpaal is dit nie, om jou kinders die waarde van tyd te leer nie? Om jou kinders te leer om die beloning uit te stel, en hard te werk, om daarna die beloning te smaak. Om jou kinders te leer om nederig te wees, goed gemanierd, konsidererend en net besonders. Wat wil ‘n ouer meer hoor as welgedaan en wat wil ‘n kind eerder hoor as Ek is trots op jou en lief vir jou. Ons maak die lewe soms te ingewikkeld, ons bekommer ons oor materiële goed wat geen waarde in die langtermyn het nie, terwyl daar reg voor ons oë wonderwerke gebeur. Die wonderwerk van lewe, Liefde, saamwees, en die Goddelike instelling van ‘n huwelik. Imperfect Perfection waar tyd nie gemeet word aan horlosies nie, maar aan oomblikke, oomblikke waar ‘n papier en pen, en bereidwillige hande dalk soms die beste geskenk is wat ons vir mekaar kan gee.

Dare to be different. We don't all have to look the same and think the same. All we need to do is to love fearlessly, live without limits and passionately and to stay true our choices. Choose your love and love your choice. Ryan and Sarah, we just love both of you.

Brandon and Megan. What an amazing experience to have met a young couple that proudly planned and paid for their own wedding. They made a conscious decision to use the journey of planning their wedding to lay a strong foundation for their relationship, to negotiate, compromise and to grow closer as a couple. They have worked hard to make their wedding an unforgettable experience and to create memories that will not only make them smile but will inspire them during tough times. I am thankful to have been a witness to their dedication to each other and to themselves, to remain committed to staying true to themselves. We are all fascinated by authenticity. At Imperfect Perfection, where time isnt measured by clocks but by moments and where our couples are completely committed to being an excellent version of themselves rather than a mediocre copy of someone else. Thank you to Naidoo and your team Photography and Design , it was so refreshing to work with professionals that, after more than 33 years in the industry worked with so much energy and passion. WOW is all that i can say. I am looking forward to seeing you again at IMperfect Perfection.

Imperfect Perfection venue is one of the most versatile venues, there are multiple photo opportunities, and it is all about timing. We plan every wedding around the sunset. Chasing the sun, and finding a photographer passionate about capturing the couple during the golden hour. South Africa is known for the most amazing sunsets, something that we take for granted when we get entangled in the everyday rat race. Take a moment and enjoy these beautiful sunset photos taken by PETAL & LEAF Photography. Our beautiful couple Jean and Celine, it has been a huge privilege to be part of your wedding day. May you always find time to enjoy the amazing sunsets. Imperfect perfection where time isnt measured by clocks but by moments, moments, where the most valuable moment at a wedding is completely for free, the sunset. No one can outdo our Creator.

Lovable and vibrant. "klein botteltjie, groot gif" This tiny bride has an enormous personality, an amazing heart and the most beautiful nature. Celine's sense of humor and her unselfish personality, allowed for so much joy on her wedding day. There was an accident on the highway so we had a few delays, but nothing could steal her joy and excitement. She chose her team carefully and we were extremely impressed with Chene the photographer from and leaf photo accommodating the delay in the timeline and still managing to take the most exquisite photos. I am in love with these photos, love the light and the color in these photos. Timeless photos. Imperfect Perfection Where time isnt measured by clocks but by moments

Colorful. From nudes to black to all the colors of the rainbow. When you choose the right venue, any look and feel goes. Versatility is the spice of life. We are so thankful that we attract couples from all walks of life, with each their own unique style. Schalk and Abigail are one of the most sincere couples. They had 2 requirements, they wanted to get married in our outdoor chapel and they wanted lots of colorful flowers. They handpicked each flower themselves. These two kind-hearted souls enjoyed the details of planning and visiting the venue. Each visit was a real visit, with lots of laughter and chats. I know one thing, they will never run out of something to say to each other but even on the quiet days, they will be able to understand each other silence. "Silence is the true art; it teaches us to speak without words. " Here's to a young couple that has received deep roots from their parents and wings to fly as high as life would take them. Imperfect Perfection where time isn't measured by clocks but by moments, moments when we pause and keep quiet, to fully experience the magic unfolding in front of our eyes.
