#4: The Invite {Wedding planning}

5

Iaan and I are both in love with design, beautiful things and quirky ideas. Even before we got engaged we always sent each other pictures of things we like. One day Iaan send over a brilliantly awesome invitation! It was designed by the groom himself, Matt Dorfman. The invitation was the story of the couple, Matt & Gill. Iaan and I saved the image. Then when we got engaged, we started looking around for some cool ideas for invitations, but never saw anything as perfect as Matt’s invite. We decided to take some inspiration from his design and tell our own story (since we have a 8 years, 1 month and 29 days’ long story to tell, we couldn’t just send out a normal invite :)

Suikerbos ek wil jou he!

Boer en Brit 001

We just love the pretty packaging of the Suikerbossie Cap Classique Brut by Boer and Brit, and in the spirit of Heritage Day we thought we would share this proudly South African wine with you. Boer and Brit wines are made by The Boer, Stefan Gerber a direct descendant of president Paul Kruger, and The Brit Alexander Milner, a descendant of famous general Field Marshall French. Their forefathers were bitter enemies during the Anglo-Boer War. But now, 116 years later, they’re making wines together as best friends.
