Steff & Mike’s wedding unfolded like a dream… earthy, elegant, and deeply felt. The apricot hue of the bridesmaid dresses caught the warm echo of the day itself. And those shoulder bows? A quiet nod to 2025’s biggest bridal trend, worn with grace and intention.

From bushveld couple portraits to tears wiped in the soft hush of vows, every detail whispered something personal. Here’s to weddings that are love letters to texture, tone, and timeless connection.

At Steff & Mike’s wedding, every table told a story, soft pastel apricots, peaches and a pinch of blush tones, layered with candlelight and delicate florals that felt both intentional and effortless. Roses, lisianthus, garden blooms and some of Steff’s favourite….. anthiruims, spilled from glass vases, framed by flickering peach and beige candles that cast a warm, romantic glow. The monogrammed menus, the gentle folds of each napkin, the symmetry of the place settings, nothing was left to chance, yet everything felt natural.

What made this wedding timeless wasn’t just the palette or the florals, it was the harmony. The way the light danced across the vaulted ceilings, the quiet luxury of the gold accents, the softness of the textures against the architectural lines. It’s a look that will feel just as beautiful ten years from now as it did that day.

Oh yes………. Modern romance, where trend met timeless with effortless grace. The floral palette at Christie-Mari & Marco’s wedding was a symphony of peach, blush, pastel rainbow and soft ivory, layered with dahlias, snapdragons, roses, and hydrangeas that felt both fresh and eternal. Candles in warm tones… peach, beige, and soft pink, glowed throughout the space.

What’s trending now? Brides are leaning into layered textures and tonal harmony, and it was evident in every detail here. From the mirrored bases beneath floral centerpieces to the ribbed glass candle holders with gold accents, the styling embraced depth without excess. The use of personalized illustrated place cards and soft watercolor tones speaks to the current love for bespoke artistry, where every guest feels seen and every detail tells a story.

And yet, what makes this wedding truly timeless is its restraint. The elegance wasn’t loud, it whispered. White linens, gold cutlery, and soft candlelight created a canvas that will never go out of style. It’s a celebration that could live in any decade and still feel like the height of sophistication.

The glass chapel stands in quiet reflection as the dam mirrors the last light of day. A fleeting moment when dawn gives way to night, and the horizon glows with a soft farewell. It’s the kind of beauty that feels eternal, an embrace between architecture and nature, where silence speaks louder than words.
