A Breathtaking Elopement by Runaway Romance

Elopement by Runaway Romance

Silvia and Alex decided they couldn’t wait any longer to get married and asked Runaway Romance to plan a magical elopement for them in 3 weeks in the lovely little village of Kaapsehoop. And what a magical elopement it turned out to be!

Megan from Megan Ann Photography was the obvious choice as their photographer. She’s been to a couple of elopements in Kaapsehoop. There are also some really talented people in Nelspruit, so it all fell into place quickly.

Their wedding day was super relaxed. Once everyone had gone to the ceremony spot, Silvia and Alex did a private first look.

The Big Day

Silvia looked gorgeous and Alex was blown away! And so began one of the most romantic elopements. The ceremony spot was a field of wild daisies with forests and mountains in the background. It was such an intimate ceremony, with only close family and Silvia’s best friend. You could just feel the love surrounding them.

After the ceremony, the family went back to the guesthouse and gathered on the patio for toasting, video calls, and chatting. Later, they sat down to a delicious Mediterranean (and part vegan) harvest table dinner prepared from scratch by Sandra, Heidi, and Laila from Green Venus. After some really moving toasts and dinner, everyone went off to play pool at the local pub down the road.

The next morning, they were all up early to hike down to the waterfall for some more couple photos. What a beautiful place; perfect for this adventurous couple, who ended up in the cold water by the end of it.

A quick side note… Silvia’s gorgeous dress was the dress and veil that Alex’s sister (who lives overseas) got married in. Silvia redesigned it and had it altered and combined to create her unique dream dress.
