An Unforgettable Boho Wedding Under the African Sun

Share

Phantsi komthunzi welanga (Xhosa) - Under the African sun

Under blue skies and fluffy clouds this next couple pulled of a very chic desert wedding. With both the Groom and Bride rocking white the elegance is unmatched for this boho yet rustic wedding. As much as we love a clean minimal vibe, when done right the maximalist details you can incorporate into your big day can be so enchanting. The proof is in the reception, just take a peak at the perfect floral decor and disco ball shinning high above. A total mood for getting down on the dance floor. If you are going to wear a long veil be sure to take a look into the gallery, this Bride has some epic posing ideas for how to get that perfect veil shot.

Keep scrolling to see all of the beautiful photos by Davene Prinsloo Photography and the absolutely stunning wedding dress by Casper BosmanAmo Creative planned every detail and Sweetfontein created all of the amazing florals. You can see all the images in the full gallery.

Absolutely Desert Chic

A destination wedding weekend no one would expect is something Amo Creative wanted to create. Hidden in the middle of the beautiful South Africa is an area called the Karoo. You will find kilometers of nothing and then find the hidden gem that is Sweetfontein.

A weekend starting with a romantic and adventurous drive through the South African desert, Bride and Groom arrive at a picnic set up to perfection. These unique details will help you immerse yourself in what the land has to offer while also enjoying a VIP experience.

Ceremony + Reception

The ceremony is set on the top of a peak overlooking the open fields and also the perfect viewing point for what I feel is the most beautiful sunsets I’ve ever seen. Adding the fact that the bride and groom is dressed to perfection by Casper Bosman and hair and makeup by Monique Linde you know Davene Prinsloo Photography had the perfect setup in front of her camera.

Pre drinks normally a time we wish over, but we wanted to incorporate some local talent by adding some Xhosa Tribal face painting I think all guests will enjoy being done. Being one with nature and acknowledging the land we reside in influences how we style a wedding. The idea was that the decor had to give you the feeling that nature is growing up as one with the setup. The amazing Amo Creative team outdid themselves in creating this concept and adding the trendy stationery by Fleur Design Studio was just perfect.

We had to end the night in style so moving from the field we had a disco setup and with some fun lighting and music from Dj Brakkies, just to make 100% sure you are going to dance the night away.
