On the 12th December 2021, Aidan & Nanette got engaged!

We love assisting young, vibrant couples who we can see are so in love! The words we have just used describe this couple beautifully.

Aidan got in touch, he wanted something private, magical, and romantic. We had the perfect spot in mind as it is a private deck in the heart of the Constantia Valley. This lovely spot is 100% private with views of mountains, vineyards, and bushes. On our arrival, it looked more magical than planned, the surrounding plants were all in bloom. Just imagine purple flowers everywhere…

Sian, our lovely photographer arrived and jumped into the bushes to hideaway. To explain our professional photographer’s job further, they capture the decor, views, and proposal area. Following that they hideaway to remain secret to capture the marriage proposal. After the “yes” and a few celebrations, they start the couples shoot. The couples shoot can last anywhere from 30 mins to 1 hour. It all depends on the couple, timeline, and venue. Once the event is done, they send a link so the couple can download the photos. From here you can use them online, make prints, or even create a photobook. Another lovely idea is to use them for your wedding “save the date”.

While Sian was hiding away, Aidan and Nanette arrived at Silvermist. We met them, said hello, and walked them to the magic spot. From here it was all up to Aidan to ask that important question, “will you marry me?” Can you guess the answer, Nanette said YES! 🙂

They enjoyed a photoshoot amongst the purple flowers, followed by a lovely garden lunch. It is so wonderful to see a couple so in love and happy.

Aidan and Nanette garden proposal was just magical, we wish them all the best for a happy and successful future together. Love & light for 2021.

On the 19th of September 2020, Stefan and Nadene got engaged.

We were honored to assist Stefan with his fabulous proposal. He contacted us during the initial lockdown with high hopes that venues would be open by September. It was obviously meant to be as flights opened up just in time and they were able to come down to Cape Town.

They both live and work in Durban and were coming down for a holiday, Stefan thought this was just the time to pop the question. His brief to us was a romantic picnic, they both love outdoor activities, wine farms, and picnics. They have been together for 18 months and met through work.

As it was during the lockdown, we contact several wine farms but they were not taking any bookings nor could tell us when they were opening. So we discussed with Stefan to plan a garden picnic at The Cellars Hohenort, he just loved this idea.

On the day we set up the picnic decor in their beautiful gardens. We used her favorite colours and flowers, pink roses as decor. He asked that we include a “marry me” sign, so this was highlighted in the decor. The venue provides the food and drinks, we bring in all the decor, signs, photos, and flowers to ensure it is personal.

On arrival, we led the couple to the picnic spot, while Sian our photographer pretended to hide away and capture the proposal from afar. As the sign could be seen on arrival, Nadene knew what was happening and just burst into tears. Her reaction was so sweet and we loved creating this special spot for them. SHE SAID YES! They enjoyed a photoshoot with the photographer and celebrated with a picnic. The weather was amazing and everything turned out perfectly.

Stefan and Nadene garden proposal was magical, we wish this happy couple a lifetime of happiness.
