On the 9th of March 2022, David and Carolina got engaged.

David contacted us to assist plan the perfect proposal for the girl of his dreams. They have been together for 7 years so the time was right to pop the question.

He mentioned Carolina loves roses so at that moment we knew the perfect venue for them. There is a lovely rose garden called Chart Farm situated in Constantia. Members of the public can pick and buy their own roses while walking through the gardens. This was an old estate and the “manor house” can still be seen in some of the photos.

“Picturesque Chart Farm situated in the heart of the Southern Suburbs near Wynberg Park in Cape Town offers a farm-style retreat from the city. Chart Farm prides itself on being the only place in the Cape Peninsula where you can select and pick your own roses. Purchased in 1934, the farm has been in the family ever since. This historic farm currently has over 12 hectares of arable land where you will find our English-style rose garden, grapevines, lemon trees, farm stall, coffee shop, and horse riding with panoramic views stretching all the way to False Bay.”

On the day, the couple arrived in the morning and got a pair of secateurs, and began to cut some roses. We slowly approached them and led them up to the proposal setup. We had hung a marry me sign, and placed bunches of roses and chocolate on each side. Lesley took some photos and the video. (this can be viewed on our Instagram page)

David quickly walked her towards the sign and dropped to his knee, asking Carolina to marry him. SHE SAID YES! It was such a happy occasion with loads of hugs and excitement. Lesley took some drone shots and a video of this fabulous couple. They left with happy hearts and a perfect proposal story to tell the family.

We wish this happy couple all the best for an exciting future together.

On the 24th February 2020, Sahil proposed to his lovely girlfriend Calestine.

Sahil knew exactly what he wanted for his big day! A beautiful spot in the gardens for them to relax and enjoy some quality time together.

This wonderful couple has been together for 10 years, they meet in high school, it was about time that he popped the question. As they have been together for a long period of time, we suggested we create a photo book of their relationship journey. The pages shared all their happy memories over the last years. Starting from high school, family gatherings and special occasions. Sahil sent us all the images and text, we just designed it for him. It was a very thoughtful and happy presentation.

We booked a picnic in the gardens at The Cellars-Hohenort. This stunning venue is situated in  Constantia off Brommersvlei Road. The gardens are truly magnificent, filled with trees, flowers, pools and ducks. She is a huge animal lover, so the ducks were a highlight.

Her favourite colour is purple, we incorporated this into their picnic setup as much as possible. The venue provides the food which looked delicious.

On arrival to the gardens, we walked them through the lush under growth to their picnic spot. Sahil asked Calestine to open the photo book and on the last page was a photo of her new shiny engagement ring. He asked the love of his life to marry him, she said yes.

Bronwyn captured the magical moment while hiding in the bushes. After the proposal she began the couples shoot in the gardens. Once they were done, they enjoyed a picnic all afternoon.

Garden proposal of Sahil and Calestine was magical, we wish them all the best for a happy future together.

On the 21st October 2019, Ricardo and Paola got engaged!

This wonderful couple came to Cape Town on holiday and Ricardo thought this was the PERFECT time to pop the question. He lives in Brasil and her in Miami as they are both studying. They met through an exchange study programme and have been together for 3 years.

They love nature and travelling so have explored many places together, South Africa is one of them. Ricardo loved the idea of proposing in the gardens in Nature, so Kirstenbosch botanical gardens was the chosen venue. Kirstenbosch is beautiful this time of year as it was Springtime. All the flowers are out in bloom which is wonderful to explore.

This is now Ricardo pictured their marriage proposal… it was planned and executed in this manner! YAY 🙂

“When we decided to go on a trip to Cape Town, I immediately thought that it would be the perfect opportunity to propose since it is an amazing place full of breathtaking scenic views.  Time passed by and as we planned for the trip, we found out about the botanical gardens and decided it was one of the places worth going to since we both love the nature and would really appreciate the gardens. So during my research, I came across pictures of the gardens and the moment I saw them I knew it would be a good spot for the perfect proposal. Since it is going to be Spring, the gardens will be at their best, and there I will have a set-up arranged for us at a quiet spot, with pictures of us, roses and petals scattered all over, and a hidden photographer to register the moment and do a couples shoot. As we walk through the beautiful gardens I will tell her how much I love her, and when we get to the place, as she starts to assimilate what is happening I will drop on one knee and ask her to be mine forever.”

After walking through the gardens and finding the setup, Ricardo got onto one knee and asked the women of his life to marry him, she said YES!

Ricardo and Paola garden proposal was so cute, we loved meeting them and sharing this happy moment. Wishing them all the best for their future together.
