Last month, we featured our styled eclectic story, using the Mountain Breeze forest as our backdrop. It was magical to say the least, so we can only imagine the splendour of Denton and Lorrae’s special day as it was celebrated within the same mysterious setting of De Uijlenes in Gansbaai.
When we featured Elonah and Gregory’s colourful wedding back in 2011, we knew there was something special about this bride. It’s evident from her wedding’s gorgeous decor that she is exceptionally creative, and the bright hanging squares they made have been copied and pinned many many times.

Back in the heydays of Nook Eatery, my favourite daytime hangout in Stellenbosch a few years ago, their pear and almond tart was one of my ultimate pastries to enjoy with a strong cup of fresh coffee.

If you haven’t heard of minted yet, they are a very hip, online stationery site that crowd sources all of their designs.

We had the pleasure of guest judging one of their recent wedding challenges.
