Cape Botanical Wedding I Vrede en Lust I Jamess and Josi

We've seen a lot of pretty weddings, in fact, we like to think that all the weddings we document are pretty weddings. But Jamess (yes, with two s's) and Josi's wedding blew our socks off.

We fell head over heels in love with the insanely talented Heike from Fleur Le Cordeur - and the killer job she did with Jamess and Josi's Botanical-themed wedding. Veggies under bell-jars, red onions spilling out of vases, mini-lettuce in sweet glass-jars and only flowers that bloom on vegetable plants, fruit trees and herbs were used. Look at those leggy leek flowers.

So today we're doing something somewhat unusual, dedicating an entire post to the details and decor of Jamess and Josi's beautiful wedding.

Be sure to check back tomorrow for more of the wedding of the sweet couple that dreamed up this gorgeous wedding!

Cape Summer Garden Wedding I Villa Steenhuis, Cape Town I Andrew and Emma

Winter is slowly creeping into Cape Town (boooo!), so we thought, to warm your cold toes and put a smile on your faces, we'd share this sweet Cape garden wedding with you today.

Emma and Andrew got married, under laterns and lights, at the beautiful Villa Steenhuis in Constatia on what must have been one of the most gorgeous summer days Cape Town has ever seen. No wind, a perfect 28 degrees, blue skies, the sweet summery smell of blooms, the taste of Pimm's & lemonade, swing music making it's way through the trees above and an ear-to-ear-smiling couple made this wedding too much fun to document!

We have the ideal weather and we have more space than we know what to do with in South Africa, so why aren't we having more wedding celebrations under the stars? In a field or in a garden, which ever, the atmosphere doesn't get any better.

Be brave, pray that it all comes together and you might just have a wedding as special as Andrew and Emma's.

love,
