The Story
Opting for a venue in the middle of pretty much nowhere, one knows you’re in the hot seat when it comes to pulling together the arrangements for your big day. Dejane and Erik, two soulful city slickers, envisioned a wedding that would be different to any other their guests had attended before. Together with Okasie our goal was to breathe life into the barren, dry landscape and old, partially dilapidated buildings by adding touches of modern glamour.
The use of vibrant colour was paramount in adding exclamation to the atmosphere whilst natural wood, rusted iron and antique furniture elements paid homage to the significant culture and history of this magical setting. The ceremony - “no flowers; only candles please” - took place in an intimately lit, refurbished barn. The reception tent was a glowing beacon of colour against the backdrop of massive blue gums and date palms.
If ever there was a farm style affair, this was it…menus printed on oversized linen napkins, starters served on individual wooden boards with snoek pate, fig preserve and biltong and curious farm animals joining in the festivities! A mood rich with genuine joy and fearless fun!
