Extraordinarily elegant and hopelessly romantic, this unforgettable four-day fete was planned and styled to perfection, from the chic cocktail reception to the spirited South African braai, the windless Waterkloof lunch and the bedazzling black-tie wedding.

Upon arrival, all guests were handed a custom-made, hand-painted wedding booklet in a personalised welcome bag, providing them with a sense of place, preceding the parties.

Commencing at the continent’s take on the Tate Modern, guests were privy to a captivating cocktail reception and awestriking impression from the sixth floor of the Zeitz Museum of Contemporary African Art. Following an auspicious garden gathering with delectable canapés, guests were taken on a private tour of the nine-floor cathedral-like gallery. Celebrations continued late into the evening in a lustrous looking lounge, with a dedicated international DJ, flown in by the groom.

The second celebration took the form of a South African styled barbeque, held at Blaauwklippen’s brand new earthy-yet-elegant glass cathedral. Set in a charmingly romantic scene, the African-themed edifice was adorned in brightly coloured, indigenous, textured florals, framed by warm, glowy ceiling bulbs lining the glass roof. Choosing from a large harvest table feast, splayed in flavoursome barbequed food, guests were served zesty cocktails, amid a stylish, casual mix of tables and lounging. The groom – an avid music fan – specially flew in the UK based Dele Sosimi Afrobeat Orchestra to entertain their guests on the night, under the magical night sky.

The wedding itself – a sophisticated, Lebanese-style, black tie soiree, took place at Molenvliet. (You can read more about this celebration here.)

The couple’s, four-day fairytale ended perfectly with a private lunch at the breathtakingly beautiful Waterkloof Wine Estate, where they took some more time to let it all sink in.
