Set against the beautiful backdrop of Vygie in Wellington, Lexi and Antoine gathered 100 of their favourite people for a wedding that was anything but ordinary.

Inspired by mystical and mythological elements, the day blended creativity, personality, and celebration in a way that felt completely unique to them. The styling embraced a relaxed boho aesthetic, with thoughtful details and unexpected experiences around every corner. They used a set designer to create unique pieces at their favourite restaurant, Vygie. The set designer created all the decor on the day, which turned an already beautiful spot into something magical.

Guests were welcomed into a world of imagination, where a fortune teller offered glimpses into the future, and a bedazzling station added a touch of sparkle and fun throughout the evening. The atmosphere was vibrant and playful, encouraging everyone to get involved and enjoy the experience. They also encouraged all guests to dress up!

The celebration was filled with wonderful food, flowing conversation, and plenty of dancing. With a few little ones joining the festivities, the day had a warm and inclusive feel; love filled the air.

Francesca’s beautiful singing created lovely moments during the pre-drinks celebration, while DJ Dario kept the energy high well into the night, ensuring the dance floor remained fun.

From the creative entertainment to the relaxed boho styling and magical atmosphere, Lexi and Antoine’s wedding was a true reflection of who they are, a joyful celebration filled with laughter, connection, and unforgettable memories.

A wedding that reminded everyone that the best celebrations are the ones that embrace personality, creativity, and a little bit of magic. Congrats to a happy couple!

I still remember the first message from the client, equal parts excitement and nerves, with a clear intention to create something deeply meaningful for them as a couple when he reached out to me to plan a surprise marriage proposal.

The proposal itself was intimate, carefully designed to reflect their relationship. Every detail was intentional, and when she said yes. It was one of those moments that stays with you, not just as a planner, but as a witness to something real, significant, and deeply emotional.

Not long after, they came back to me, this time as an engaged couple, asking me to plan their wedding. It felt like such a natural continuation of what we had already started together.

From the outset, their vision for the wedding was beautifully clear. They wanted a small, intimate affair, something that felt relaxed yet elegant, and above all, meaningful. It wasn’t about impressing a crowd; it was about creating a space where their love story and the road they have personally travelled could be experienced in an honest, personal way.

As their planner, my focus was on translating that vision into an environment that felt effortless but at the same time, considered and intentional. We leaned into simplicity, allowing each detail to speak for itself without overwhelming the overall atmosphere.

The setting played a huge role. With the ocean as a breathtaking backdrop, the ceremony space came together in a way that felt both serene and powerful. A hexagonal arch stood at the heart of it all, adorned with florals that brought softness and texture to the scene. Roses and proteas were chosen for their blend of classic romance and natural beauty, and these were carried throughout the space, from the arch to the aisle, and onto the dinner tables. The result was cohesive without feeling overly styled.

Music added another layer of depth to the day. A live musician played guitar and sang both before and during the ceremony, creating an atmosphere that was warm and immersive. The couple selected songs that held special meaning to them, and hearing those pieces performed live made each moment feel even more personal.

The celebration continued with an unforgettable dining experience. Instead of a traditional format, they opted for a five-course small-plated menu, served by a private chef. Each course was thoughtfully curated and beautifully presented, offering guests something interactive and memorable. It encouraged connection and conversation, perfectly aligning with the intimate nature of the day.

Being part of their journey from proposal to wedding is something I will always hold close. It’s not often that you get to see a love story unfold in such a complete and meaningful way, and it was the beginning of a story I had the privilege of walking alongside. As a planner, there’s nothing more rewarding than knowing you’ve helped bring those moments to life.

Last December, we had the absolute joy of celebrating Caitlin and Dom’s unforgettable wedding weekend affectionately named “The Westival.” And what a wedding festival it was.

Set against the stunning backdrop of Pat Busch in Robertson, the couple created a four-day experience that felt less like a traditional wedding and more like a beautifully curated gathering of their favourite people. Think relaxed, nature-filled days, and a constant hum of laughter and connection.

From the moment guests arrived, there was an easy, joyful energy in the air. The venue itself couldn’t have been more perfect, wide open spaces, mountain views, and that signature countryside charm that makes you instantly slow down and settle in. It gave everyone the freedom to have a party and be present for the entire weekend.

One of the standout features was the incredible dome tent, which transformed into the ultimate dance floor as the sun went down. It became the heart of the celebration, filled with music, movement, and pure magic under the stars.  Guests gathered there, dancing late into the evening with an infectious, carefree spirit that defined the entire weekend.

Adding to the fun was a talent show hosted by the guests themselves, a highlight that brought so much personality and laughter to the celebrations. From impressive performances to hilarious acts, it was a reminder of just how special it is to be surrounded by a community that shows up wholeheartedly.

Every detail of The Westival reflected Caitlin and Dom’s vision: relaxed, fun, and deeply connected. There was no rush, no pressure, just four days of meaningful moments, shared meals, and unforgettable memories.

And long after the last song played and the weekend came to an end, one thing was clear — The Westival will be talked about for years to come.

Thanks to all our amazing suppliers, we could not have done it without them.

On the 10th January 2026, Sarah and Steven got marrried!

There’s something truly magical about a destination wedding in the Cape and this beautiful celebration in January was no exception. Our lovely couple traveled all the way from Guernsey to say ‘I do,‘ surrounded by 72 of their closest family and friends.

The Setting

Perched on the slopes overlooking False Bay, the venue offered breathtaking panoramic views, endless vineyards, soft mountain silhouettes, and the ocean shimmering in the distance. January sunshine blessed the day with golden light, creating the dreamiest atmosphere for an outdoor ceremony. Gentle breezes and clear skies made it feel like nature itself was celebrating alongside the couple.

The Celebration

The ceremony was intimate, filled with emotion, laughter, and the kind of happy tears that remind you what weddings are really about. A little page boy stole the show with a entrance to lord of the rings. The flower arch faced the seaview, which was beautifully created by AVZ. Afterward, guests enjoyed drinks and canapés on the lawn, soaking up the sunshine and reconnecting with loved ones.

The reception that followed was lovely. Long tables, beautiful décor details of draping and lighting on the roof, and warm candlelight set the scene for an evening of incredible food, fine wine, and unforgettable speeches. One of our favourite elements was their wedding cake, well done Arda for another delicious piece of art!

The marriage

Hosting their wedding in the Cape allowed the couple to share a place they love with the people they love most. Congrats, Sarah and Steven, on your marriage. May you enjoy a lifetime of happiness together.

On January 3, 2026, the vineyards of Idiom Wine Farm in Cape Town became the setting for a truly special celebration: the wedding day of two beautiful brides whose journey we had the privilege of being part of from the very beginning.

Long before guests gathered among the rolling vines, this love story began with a proposal we helped bring to life. From planning that unforgettable “yes” moment to designing and coordinating their wedding day, it was an honour to walk alongside them every step of the way.

With around 90 of their closest family and friends in attendance, the day felt intimate, warm, and full of meaning. Idiom’s panoramic views over the Helderberg and False Bay created a breathtaking backdrop, perfectly matched by elegant décor in soft green and crisp white tones. The styling was classic yet natural, with lush greenery, delicate white florals, and subtle details that reflected the couple’s style and personalities.

The ceremony was filled with dancing, happy tears, and moments that reminded everyone present why celebrating love in all its forms is so important. As the sun dipped behind the mountains, guests moved into an evening of fine wine, delicious food, and joyful celebration under the Cape summer sky.

Being entrusted with both their proposal and their wedding made this experience especially meaningful for our team. Watching their vision come to life and seeing them begin this new chapter together was a reminder of why we love what we do.

To our gorgeous brides: thank you for letting us be part of your story. May your life together be filled with adventure, laughter, and endless love.

Marcela and Matt celebrated their love with an intimate winter wedding at La Roche in Franschhoek, surrounded by 45 of their closest family and friends. It was a day that beautifully blended Marcela’s Brazilian warmth with Matt’s British charm, creating a celebration filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable moments.

The day began in the Manor House, where Marcela got ready in elegant surroundings, setting the perfect tone for what was to come. Guests gathered at The Sanctuary for the ceremony,  a truly magical venue that provided a serene setting as the couple exchanged vows.

For the reception, every detail was carefully curated. AVZ Décor transformed the space with soft draping and romantic touches, bringing warmth and intimacy to the winter celebration. The feast table, created by Annalize Catering, was a showstopper, abundant, inviting, and the perfect centrepiece for guests to gather around and enjoy.

Entertainment played a big role in creating the atmosphere. Live singers called The Blondies set a relaxed yet celebratory mood during pre-drinks, while Kirya the saxophonist added energy and flair to Marcela and Matt’s grand entrance. Rather than walking in, they chose to dance their way into the reception, a joyful moment that immediately set the tone for the night.

From there, the celebration flowed effortlessly. Guests filled the dance floor as the DJ Dario kept the energy high, and the evening carried on with music, dancing, and connection long into the night.

Marcela and Matt’s wedding was a wonderful reminder of how intimate weddings can be just as impactful as large celebrations. Congrats to the happy couple.

On the 28th of February 2025, this splendid couple got married.

When love crosses oceans, it deserves a celebration to match — and that’s exactly what Michaela and Ryan gave their guests this February with a breathtaking three-day wedding celebration in Cape Town. Flying in from the UK, the couple gathered their closest friends and family for an unforgettable destination wedding at Hawksmoor Manor in Stellenbosch.

Day One: The Welcome Braai

The festivities started with a relaxed South African tradition — a pre-wedding braai. As the Cape sun began to dip behind Table Mountain, guests sipped local wines and gathered around the fire, enjoying grilled delights and reconnecting. It was the perfect way to settle into the warm, welcoming rhythm of the week.

Day Two: The Wedding Day

On the second day, it was the wedding day! Michaela walked down the aisle in a truly special gown — her mother’s vintage wedding dress, lovingly restored and glowing with sentiment and style. It was a touching nod to family history and a beautiful symbol of new beginnings. The wedding was filled with fun, laughter, and love.

The ceremony was in front of the barn, which was a perfect setting and in the shade, shielding guests from the heat of Stellenbosch. Guests enjoyed live music and food stations during pre-drinks, it ended with guests dancing and jamming to the sax players music.

As the sun set, guests dined al fresco, enjoying world-class Cape wines and locally inspired cuisine. They opted for platter to tables, which Table Seven executed perfectly. The vibe was electric, from hilarious speeches, to African dancing and many many cheering. The guests danced late into the night to celebrate this amazing couple.

Day Three: The Pool Party

With spirits still high, the party continued in a laid-back pool party that perfectly captured the couple’s fun-loving nature. The weather continued to shine, and so did everyone’s smiles. With cocktails in hand, feet in the water, and panoramic views all around, the party was a joyful exhale after a weekend full of love and laughter.

An Unforgettable Celebration

Michaela and Ryan’s wedding was more than just an event, it was an experience. Every detail reflected their journey and personalities. Cape Town will forever hold a special place in their story, and for everyone lucky enough to attend, it was a week they’ll never forget.

On the 4th of February 2025, this lovely couple got married!

Nestled in the heart of the Stellenbosch / Franschhoek wine region, Vrede en Lust Estate was the chosen venue for a magical wedding. Surrounded by lush vineyards and sweeping views of the mountains, Jasmine and Hayden, a lovely couple from New Zealand, celebrated their love with an intimate gathering of 40 close family and friends.

The couple, along with their guests, stayed at the Vrede en Lust Manor House, a spacious and luxurious residence that provided the perfect backdrop for the wedding weekend. Its elegant rooms and welcoming atmosphere allowed Jasmine and Hayden to soak in the estate’s beauty while getting ready for their big day.

The real magic, however, came alive in the decor, skilfully curated by AVZ. The team perfectly captured the couple’s vision with a boho-inspired dried flower look that was both romantic and stylish. Earthy tones dominated the design, with a soft palette of blacks, creams, and muted natural hues that beautifully complemented the surrounding landscape.

From the ceremony arch adorned with dried florals to the reception tables dressed in minimalist elegance, every detail exuded understated beauty. The addition of textured candles, elegant table runners, and carefully placed floral arrangements added a whimsical touch that felt both organic and refined.

As the ceremony began, the couple exchanged vows in front of an intimate gathering of their closest loved ones, with the estate’s vines stretching out in the background. It was a moment of pure joy, where time seemed to stand still, and every guest felt the deep love shared between Jasmine and Hayden.

Every element of the day, from the beautiful speeches to the fun line dancing, was a joy in planning their wedding. Thank you for choosing us and trusting us to plan your perfect day.

We wish Jasmine & Hayden all the best for the future. Come and visit Cape Town again soon.
