A Fairytale wedding at Babylonstoren

The first time we were part of a wedding at Babylonstoren was three years ago and from that experience we couldn't wait for the wedding of Celest Botha and Duanne Dames on the 27th of April 2013!

For you who have not been to Babylonstoren you simply have to visit their website and go! It's an amazing farm and one of my favourite places in Cape Town boasting a boutique hotel, spa and the most wondrous feature-a spectacular garden and a glasshouse with the best food you will have in Cape Town! for more info visit www.babylonstoren.co.za

So back to the wedding! Celest looked like a princess! The pink silk satin was purchased in Paris and the dress had more than 100 bows! The headpiece was made from a vintage necklace from the family.
They got married under a tree with close family and friends attending. Her aunt, Maranda Engelbrecht, planned the styling, food and decor of this gorgeous Fairytale wedding with immaculate attention to detail and creativity.

Ilan also designed the mother of the brides clothing as well as aunts, cousins and flower girl's little pink dress with tulle.

The pastel colors of pink and mint worked great with the gorgeous autumn sun filled weather and everyone looked so gorgeous.

The reception, decadent and fitting for a princess, something you would expect from a classic movie like Downtown Abbey mixed with fantasy. Maranda always has the ability to literally take you into a piece of heaven with the white rooms and the delicacies spread out like you are in a dream!

This is definitely one we will remember for a long time and we wish Celest and Duanne all the best!
