South African Seaside Wedding

Let’s travel all the way to South Africa for this fun beach wedding shot by Wesley Vorster. As if the beach destination of Plettenberg Bay wasn’t enough to make one go gaga for a dream beach wedding, the couple also chose fun quirky details right alongside scrumptious paper goods by Elsje Designs. Not to mention, of course, the bride’s little number by Abigail Betz , a talented designer also local to South Africa. Thank you Elsje and Wesley for sharing! Lots more to see in the photo gallery.

From Elsje Designs : This lovely couple tied the knot in Plettenberg Bay earlier this year at the beautiful Old Timber Shed. After the ceremony they started the celebrations with a seaside shindig on the beach. Their opulent reception was held at Plettenberg Park Hotel, a boutique hotel situated on the cliffs of Plettenberg Bay with breathtaking views. The bride looked stunning in her Abigail Betz dress. We contributed to the magic with fun and unique stationery items – from the stitched brown paper bag menus and pop-up placemats to distressed foil paper rosettes. The trees outside the ceremony area was decorated with beautiful origami folded heart ceremony programs and paper lanterns.
