- I started this blog as a way of showing my friends and family all the wonderful and amazing weddings and ideas that I have come across in the process of planning our wedding. It's been such a fun and exciting journey and I hope you (not forgetting those Grooms out there) find some inspiration from the posts here on SYW.

Chris and Helena’s Beautifully Detailed Swartland Wedding
Posted on 11 March, 2014 | No CommentsWe have a beautiful South African wedding for you today. Chris and Helena had the most amazing details, which I think are even more special as they were all made by friends and family. It’s wonderful to see everyone helping to bring a little something extra to make the bride and grooms day special. As you can see it made for a very personal and beautiful day. The lovely photos are by Madre […] -

Marisa and Wynand’s colourful Garden Route Wedding
Posted on 12 June, 2012 | No CommentsThe colours in this wedding are gorgeous! Often people go for pastel tones, but Marisa and Wynand show just how effective bold pinks, turquoise, purples and greens can create an elegant and beautiful wedding. Marisa’s bouquet is stunning and the idea of having the contrast of simple lavender bunches for her bridesmaids was a wonderful idea. The fantastic pink car looks like it just came off the set of Grease and works […] -
Michael & Soretha’s Bright South African Wedding
Posted on 28 February, 2012 | No CommentsSpring is definitely in the air and Michael and Soretha’s bright South African wedding brings all the joy of spring to life.
