aving visited The Oaks
in Greyton, South Africa,
Robert and I knew that
we wanted to get married there
one day. The venue is set against
the backdrop of the Zonderend
Mountains, and perfectly combines
style, natural beauty and tranquility.
I wanted to have a simple yet
stylish wedding where everything
worked together to provide a
romantic and welcoming feel. The
main colours were duck egg blue
and purple. I worked with a local
company, Flamboijant, who provided
the flowers and decorations. All the
flowers 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 were
painted by a South African painter,
Frans Groenewald. Frans uses the
