It was imperative for the couple that like their traditional wedding; their individual cultures were recognised and celebrated throughout the day. The intimate blessing ceremony, the Nikkah, took place in the morning surrounded by family, and this is where customarily the bride is welcomed into the groom’s family.  Great pride and detail went into this celebration, particularly into Sarah & Jehan’s outfits which were specifically designed for this occasion. The chic ‘all white’ look and feel was introduced almost as a teaser for what lay ahead.

The celebration continued at the über stylish Munro Hotel which overlooks the world’s largest urban forest as well as the Johannesburg skyline. The lavish reception was held on the terrace and this picturesque view proved to be the perfect backdrop to complement their décor look and feel.

Together with the all-white colour scheme it was key that our design team incorporated the couple’s unique sense of personal style, so this was introduced through the many custom made design elements. A distinctive botanical print was replicated on highlight structural and decorative décor pieces such as the cocktail bar, customised lampshades, the photo booth backdrop and personalised napkins – thus creating a sense of personalised luxury that continued throughout this one of a kind celebration! On-trend marble details were incorporated on the dinner tables adding a final touch of sophistication and glamour to the all-white floral look.

A key element of the evening was to create a ‘wow’ factor with the bridal table! Sarah and Jehan wanted something truly spectacular to frame them as newlyweds, and to ensure that they had full view of all their guests. Our team took the challenge on and created a custom built platform that was positioned over the swimming pool with a stunning white and blush floral structure that created a lush backdrop. This become the focal point at the reception along with the brides favourite flowers, romantic candlelight and not to forget the Johannesburg city lights in the horizon.

As the sun set, the evening’s festivities were in full swing with a live string duo performance and a highlight comedian act to surprise the guests. Talented South African house and HipHop DJ, DJ Voodoo, set the vibe for a night filled with heartfelt speeches, singing and dancing! Another highlight for the evening was the incredible wedding cake – a stylish marble show stopper! This beautifully complemented the dessert table that was filled with marble designed edible treats, including hand-made marble chocolates, another favourite for our bride!

Creating personalised and bespoke design details is a service that we pride ourselves on, when mixed with a couple who give us creative freedom with the overall concept and design – this truly is a recipe for a Flagship Wedding Concepts Celebration!

A key element from the word ‘go’ was ensuring that every aspect of the wedding portrayed the opulence and personalisation that the bride had envisioned. A unique and inspiring colour palate of soft lilac tones, mixed with shades of pink combined with subtle hints of silver & white was used as the foundation for the décor & design brief.

The ceremony setting was a prominent focus for our team, as the bride wanted this to be designed in such a way that it was a true showstopper for guests to be ‘wowed’ by upon arrival! The focus element for the ceremony was the dramatic 3 meter high gazebo structure adorned with white draping and elegant floral touches – a stunning chandelier was suspended in the centre of the gazebo to tie this look together beautifully!

Personalised stationery details were brought in throughout the day to add that extra touch of luxury. The couple’s customised monogram was expertly applied as an additional feature on key structural elements: a violet coloured vinyl application on the bar and then repeated in gold on the dance floor.

The hotel’s ballroom was beautifully complemented with long guest tables, covered with a combination of crystal vases, floral posies and ornate gold candle holders. This look was perfectly tied together by the addition of massive opulent floral arrangements that were strategically placed down the centre of the tables. Each of the ballroom’s existing chandeliers had additional floral décor suspended from them ensuring the glamour quota was fully achieved! The final showstopper for the evening was the 5 tier wedding cake, which was truly a masterpiece.

This Wedding Concepts designer celebration truly emphasised the very essence of glamour and sheer opulence expected at 5 star hotel such as the Four Seasons, two luxury designer brands perfectly in line with one another – creating a one of a kind wedding experience & setting new trends for the luxury market!
