aving visited The Oaks
in Greyton, South Africa,Robert and I knew that
we wanted to get married thereone day. The venue is set against
the backdrop of the ZonderendMountains, and perfectly combines
style, natural beauty and tranquility.I wanted to have a simple yet
stylish wedding where everythingworked together to provide a
romantic and welcoming feel. Themain colours were duck egg blue
and purple. I worked with a localcompany, Flamboijant, who provided
the flowers and decorations. All theflowers were seasonal I loved the
combination of Christmas roses,lavender and succulents, and all our
guests commented on them.One of my favourite details
were our invitations, which werepainted by a South African painter,
Frans Groenewald. Frans uses theinformation that you give about
