Set beneath the canopy of ancient trees and framed by the glass architecture of our venue, every moment was steeped in romance and intentional design.

From the very first step, guests were welcomed with a pastel-hued seating chart that blended soft yellow and powder blue panels, adorned with fresh florals in blush, peach, and ivory. Guests were invited to find their place in a celebration that was both deeply personal and beautifully curated.

Their wedding stationery echoed this sentiment: a bespoke suite featuring a watercolor, a tactile love letter to their day, elegant, nature-inspired, and unmistakably theirs.

Christie-Mari’s gown, with its off-the-shoulder neckline and sculptural draping, embodied a beloved bridal trend: timeless silhouettes with modern structure. Paired with a cathedral veil and clean styling, her look was both classic and editorial. Marco’s tailored tux and quiet confidence completed the picture, two souls, perfectly matched.

What’s trending right now? Brides are leaning into intentional florals, architectural venues, and personalized paper goods that tell a story. You’ll find all three here, woven seamlessly into a celebration that felt as fresh as it was unforgettable.

Green Drapery & Whimsical Foliage..

…was the MO for Mariza and Anthony’s amazing garden inspired wedding.

The reception unfolded beneath cascading green drapery that danced in the slightest breeze, creating a soft, romantic canopy. Paired with abundant foliage and floral installations that felt freshly plucked from a secret garden, the space was transformed into a living fairytale. Think trailing jasmine, delicate ferns, and bursts of white, blush, lilac and powder blue delphiniums nestled among wild greenery. Every corner whispered intimacy and wonder.

Some weddings feel like a chapter from a novel you never want to end.

Christie-Mari & Marco’s ceremony was exactly that, twenty frames of quiet magic, devotion, and the kind of beauty that doesn’t need to be staged.

Set against a backdrop of soft candlelight and pastel blooms, their vows unfolded in a space that felt sacred yet effortlessly warm. The way Marco looked at Christie-Mari as she walked toward him, the way the light caught her train just so, the way their guests leaned in, not just to witness, but to feel, it all spoke of a love that’s both gentle and grounded.

This wasn’t just a ceremony. It was a moment of stillness in a fast world. A reminder that elegance lives in restraint, and that when two people choose each other with intention, everything else becomes secondary.

Every image tells its own story: they form a mosaic of a day that will live on not just in memory, but in meaning.

There are weddings, and then there are moments that feel like poetry in motion.

Michelle & Chris’s celebration was one of those rare, luminous days where every detail whispered elegance, every glance held meaning, and every frame told a story of timeless love.

Set beneath the soft glow of candlelight and framed by sculptural white florals, their all-white wedding was a masterclass in understated luxury.

White isn’t just a color, it’s a canvas. It reflects light, emotion, and intention. It allows every smile, every tear, every golden detail to shine brighter. In a world of noise, white offers clarity. It’s the color of beginnings, of hope, of sacred promises.

From the minimalist table settings to the ethereal floral arrangements, Michelle & Chris chose purity over excess.

There’s something utterly magical about a bridal party that feels like a dreamscape, and Christie-Mari’s wedding day was just that.
Surrounded by her radiant bridesmaids in a palette of rainbow pastels, she walked into forever with grace, laughter, and a whole lot of love.

Pastel bridesmaid dresses have been quietly trending for the past few seasons, but this year they’ve taken center stage in a way that feels both fresh and timeless. Think soft lilac, blush rose, dusty blue, and sage green, each hue chosen not just for its beauty, but for the way it complements every skin tone and brings a gentle harmony to group photos. The rainbow pastel look is especially beloved for outdoor weddings, where the colors echo the natural surroundings without overpowering them.

What makes this trend so special? It’s the balance of individuality and cohesion. Each bridesmaid gets a shade that suits her, yet together they form a romantic gradient that feels like a watercolor painting come to life. It’s a visual love letter to friendship, femininity, and the joy of celebration.

Christie-Mari’s bridal party didn’t just follow the trend, they elevated it. With flowing fabrics, delicate bouquets, and a backdrop of bushveld serenity, this moment captured everything we adore about modern weddings: intentional beauty, heartfelt connection, and a touch of whimsy.

Eilis and Hayden stepped into the reception space hand in hand, taking in every detail… the soft draping overhead, the candlelight catching the glassware, the long tables dressed in blooms. For a moment it seemed like everything paused.
