Charlotte and Gian planned every detail of their Cape Town wedding from overseas, which meant every supplier recommendation, every décor decision, and every extra request landed with us on the ground. Babysitters, shuttles, a dress that needed steaming before she walked down the aisle. Wet grass at the ceremony space on the morning of the wedding was dealt with quietly, and nobody else needed to know about it. That is exactly how we prefer it.

​

Colour was the brief, and it stayed that way. Charlotte came into the first planning conversation with hanging greenery and basket lights already non-negotiable, and the rest of the design built outward from there, deliberate pops of colour instead of the expected all white or all blush. Every guest went home with a unique South African spice, the kind of personal touch that takes a little thought and says a lot about a couple. The cake cutting turned into one of those unexpected moments that got the whole room, and it still stands out as one of our favourite memories from the day.
