From Creative Heros

We used a modern twist on the traditional wedding theme as well as incorporating African colors like warm browns, burnt orange, nudes and a hint of blue. We also included very traditional elements like tin cups and plates giving the tablescape a rustic edge while still maintaining an elegant beauty. We used several wooden elements that gave the day a modern minimalist vibe.

For the save the date and wedding invitations we went with a modern painterly look with bold font. Elli-Nicole‘s accented our wedding shoes and they were truly a hit and both the accessories for the bride and groom were to die for! Myrtle floral design & styling knocked it out of the park with her floating centerpiece.
