Inspired by the picturesque setting of Boschendal Estate, together with the natural colour scheme of only shades of green, white and cream formed a truly unique décor concept. This country celebration was taken to an inspiring new level, with just key suspended lighting and floral features, along with subtle additions of wood elements at both the ceremony and dining space achieved a beautiful balance of elegance and country chic.

The reception space displayed beautifully appointed tables whilst towering, and seemingly floating, hydrangea ceiling installations mixed amongst fairy light drops almost stole the show. The overall look and feel was a delicate balance of refinement and hints of country-chic style, which tied in naturally with the striking suspended hydrangea florals in soft shades of green and bespoke lighting. Lush green garlands and oversized lampshades continued the exquisite décor concept and created a wonderful and intimate feeling over the dance floor.

After an extensive venue search of the beautiful Cape Winelands all eyes were finally set on the picturesque Boschendal Wine Estate – which was to host 120 guests from all over the world and pay tribute to the couple’s multicultural and cosmopolitan Hong Kong Chinese – Belgian love affair.

A gastronomic menu, world-class wine, vibrant African entertainment and creating an inspired wow-factor design concept were the focus for our team during the exciting 10 months of destination wedding planning.

With the couple’s love for lush florals & greenery complete with lighting magic – this wedding was all about suspension and creating a veritable “Garden of Eden” by design.

After the gorgeous outdoor ceremony overlooking the vast Stellenbosch mountain ranges and accompanied by an African Choir – the guests enjoyed haute-farm-cuisine canapés to smooth live Afro-Jazz before being ushered into the transformed reception venue.

Bringing nature inside meant creating a mystical and visually mesmerizing glamorous look.  A botanical art installation, with hundreds of candles, a forest entrance feature and 40 meters of floral & lighting wonderland above the two gloriously long dinner tables.

As guests dined and enjoyed touching speeches all underneath the magical garden canopy, Charlotte – having worked in fashion all her life – dazzled in her couture Zuhair Murad gown. Soon family and friends were requested to join the couple on their custom-made parquet dance floor where they partied to the global dance sounds of DJ Rene and his Dream Team, who ensured that chic dance floor was never empty till the charmed hours of the morning!

Gretchen and Gabe wanted their intimate celebration to be a true representation of them as a couple with the focus to be on family, friends, incredible food and wine! Our design and coordination team set out to capture the simplicity and relaxed setting that the couple had in mind and perfectly complimented this with the romantic and elegant farm styled evening that we envisioned for their summer festivity!

The beautiful ceremony area was set in the lush gardens on the farm, which offered the perfect location for this intimate gathering! The bride left not only her groom, but all the guests breathless when she gracefully walked down the aisle in her bespoke Israeli Haute Couture Designer, Inbal Dror wedding dress!

The simplicity and uniqueness of the reception setting offered a platform that perfectly complemented the guest’s experience of ‘dinning under the stars’! The natural colour palette was carried through to the reception space, with the focal feature being a lavish floral band that ran along the center of the tables, tasteful elements of gold were brought through on dinner tables – adding a touch of elegance to the table tops!

Acting as a canopy of stars for the evening and a simple, yet striking lighting feature the ambient combination of fairy lights with exposed light bulbs perfectly brought this look together – truly a unique elegant farm styled celebration!
