a few weeks ago, riaan and i were location scouting sites for our e-shoot with wesley. we decided on this lovely restaurant called il giardino degli ulivi ('the garden of olives') at 44 stanley ave...it has a spacious annex (called "the room") next to an olive tree lined courtyard that we thought would make a great backdrop. soft light, rustic furniture, plus: cooled champagne and delicious pizza!
...girly heart-shaped stuff! Especially combined with wedding ideas! All images below discovered via the lovely Once Wed. Lurve the Vivienne Westwood acid pink-purply plastic pumps...!
my fiancé and i will be engaged for 3 months now on 31 august. i really feel like the luckiest girl and i'm getting all the more excited as our wedding plans are starting to come together. i have the best creative team behind me: my cousin, a fashion designer, freelance stylist and published trend analyst, is designing my dress. my colleague, francois jonker (who is the subject head of communication design at Open Window), has kindly offered to design the stationery (of which below his design of our 'save-the-dates' are featured), and my college pal, the wonderful cape town-based wedding photographer, wesley vorster, did our engagement shoot. i feel blessed!
