The Cape Town wedding planner team at Nicolette Weddings is just bursting with pride this week after the golden success of Sarah and Steve’s summer soiree that we recently planned and co-ordinated, to perfection (if we’re allowed to say so ourselves). While we wait for the professional’s shots of the day, we just couldn’t hold back these beauties that we took ourselves of this classic, romantic and just plain stunning wedding!
Sarah and Steve, a fabulous couple from the UK who were an absolute delight to work with during the build up to their big day, chose Grande Roche Hotel in Paarl to host their special occasion. The hotel offered us several fantastic spots to have the ceremony, and we chose the perfectly manicured lawn, with a spectacular backdrop of the Paarl mountain range to rise behind the couple as they exchanged vows.
The ceremony area was decorated with a mixture of crisp white elements, to pop off the green grass, as well as beautiful elements of floral décor to create a magical, whimsical look to the whole ensemble. We used white whimbledon chairs, alongside a white carpet aisle runner, lined with shepherd’s hooks with hanging jars of pinks roses, lovingly finished off with white ribbon.
The white iron gazebo was delicately wrapped in vines and roses, giving the whole ceremony space a romantic and mystical feel. Additional details around the ceremony area included fan shaped order of ceremony’s for the guests to keep themselves cool with during the ceremony.
Then, our favourite part, we set up and decorated the reception space in opulent details by using gold tiffany chairs, to accentuate the venue’s pre-existing features such as the grand ornate mirrors and the gold touches in the cut-crystal and gold chandeliers. We then further highlighted the crystal chandeliers by using glass under-plates and tall glass vases to display the abundant bouquets of flowers in the center of each table.
Sarah and Steve’s stationary was custom designed for their special day, to match the lavish details of the rest of their reception, and included table numbers, menus, and custom boxes which contained the guests’ special gifts inside.
We’d like to wish Sarah and Steve a big congratulations on their new marriage and their beautiful day! We were honoured to be a part of it and wish you many years of happiness ahead! Love, the wedding planners at Nicolette Weddings XXX
