Match making...

When you decide to get married it’s important to personalize this special affair so that your guests experience a reflection of your own unique interests, personality and the specific characteristics that tell you apart from any other couple. It needs to be seen, sensed and tasted in every intricate part, from your gorgeous gown and décor pieces, right down to every canapé and cup cake.

Classical, minimalist, bold and whimsical, we’ve seen it all, but today we mix together 4 very different weddings and challenge you to the task of pairing up each distinctive boutonnière with its matching wedding cake or dessert and décor piece.

Glamour in glass...

With any outdoor wedding, you’re likely to expect a massive, white Bedouin or Moroccan tent; however Eleanor and Lee had something different in mind when they decided to get married at Dock House Boutique Hotel, opposite the renowned V&A Waterfront in Cape Town.

With fewer than 40 guests the emphasis was on close family and friends celebrating the day in luxuriant contemporary style and comfort. The reception was held in an impressive glass house with striking crystal chandeliers and a long table running down the middle. Several tall, glass vases were placed on top of light boxes and filled with a luscious arrangement of crisp, white roses which helped carry the theme through beautifully.

Karla Oettler from Absolute Weddings co-ordinated the wedding and Ryan Graham was the official photographer. To see more stunning pictures of their wedding... click here!
