Real Wedding at Clouds Estate {Jeannine & Liam} Part 2

We’re back with Part II of this amazing wedding – hope its light, breezy French countryside flavour has put a smile on your face the way it has for me! Apart from all the amazing details, another thing I find really inspiring about this wedding is the way it isn’t bound by a single or set of theme colours, but rather has a range of soft pastels against a background of neutrals. Such a fresh, classy look, and definitely one worth considering for your wedding.

Jeannine was sweet enough to share more of her story:
I think that flowers can transform your day and reflect your personality – so much love and thought went into ours. My aunt did the bouquets and we had a mix of succulents (desert roses), lisianthus, roses and lavender. To create the herb favours, my father-in-law had a small greenhouse built specially in his back garden in Kalk Bay. We supplied our own ‘flowerballs’ from Heath Nash to hang over the pool, which were very striking. Having the herbs and rose bushes on the terrace meant that we didn’t end of up with lots of leftover flowers as the guests went home with a present and a lasting memory of our special day. We also didn’t print a lot for our wedding, but used chalkboards for decor and the menu. For dessert, we had three different types of cake on vintage stands - they were incredible!

I did a lot of things myself and had so much fun doing it.  I read a lot of wedding blogs and it was amazing to see it all come together on the day. I think it’s important to have your own personal stamp on your wedding. I also think it’s important to involve family where you can… makes it more personal. My stepdad made all the blackboards for the snacks (these were really easy to do using blackboard paint on ply wood). I made the ‘table name’ board myself, using a vintage frame. Liam drew the herb which we had on our wedding invitation/table layouts and thank you cards. It was nice to carry this theme throughout the wedding.

Congratulations, Jeannine and Liam, and thank you for sharing your lovely wedding with us!
