A Soft & Elegant Free State Wedding

A wonderful September spring wedding nestled in the heart of the Free State with the sun shining and just enough clouds to create the most beautiful photos. The décor was soft and elegant with shades of dusty blue, gold, white and green.

The groom’s reaction to seeing his bride for the first time was priceless as he could not hold back the tears and the bride’s soft glance and smile just confirmed how special they are to each other. The ceremony was held outside with a cool afternoon breeze and birds chirping under the roof of the outside covered area.

The party was filled with fun, special moments and a lot of laughter. It was a small but special wedding with just close family and friends, and the love could be felt everywhere.

A soft and elegant Free State wedding is defined by open landscapes, gentle colour palettes, and timeless simplicity.
