Smaller groups do not mean less detail, in fact it can mean more attention to detail. The cake was a masterpiece, incorporating the design from the stationery.

The Story:

Tamara and Billy where high school sweethearts and after almost 10 years together they finally decided to get married. As they live in England and Tamara’s family in Malaysia, South Africa was the perfect midway meeting point. The combination of bright bursts of turquoise, snow white orchids and the damask décor theme, meant these classic elements were given a refreshing and unique twist and made for a dazzling colour palette. The setting at Grande Provence attributed to the elegant occasion with world class cuisine. The couple spent several days celebrating with their families with an informal BBQ the day before followed by the wedding which was simply breathtaking. Each mother also prepared some special words for the ceremony, making this part of the day very moving. The fire dancers later in the evening where an absolute highlight!
