Cape Town Wedding Planner Reflection: Romantic Autumn Wedding at The Mount Nelson Hotel
Freda and Roland were one of our favourite couples that we worked with last year. They were friendly, warm, lovely to work and, and as you’ll see below, had great taste! The lovely couple tied the knot in a romantic garden ceremony at The Mount Nelson Hotel in Gardens, Cape Town, followed by cocktails and canapes around the hotel’s famous fountain, and then dinner in The Garden Room which was beautifully decorated in deep shades of reds and oranages, to honour the time of year the wedding took place in, Autumn (or as our American friends would call it, the Fall).
Each table was decorated with gold underplates, with gold candelabras to match, topped with an array of flowers in deep autumn colours which brought a beautiful, romantic colour to the room.
The flowers consisted of roses, daisies, and other local grown gems.
To add more detail to the room, we also added single gold candle sticks in varying heights, which we placed amongst the flowers arrangements.
We also added some flair by folding the napkins perfectly!
The rectangular head table which stood proudly at the top of the room was no different, and decorated beautifully with a selection of candle sticks in varying heights and small flower arrangements.
One of our favourite details of this wedding was the name cards which were printed on laser cut leaf shaped signs which were displayed on the edge of each guest’s wine glass.
Another stationery item that we loved was the order of service fans which were used during the ceremony and both kept guests cool, as well as informed as to the proceedings of the day.
We’d like to wish Freda and Roland a huge congratulations on their beautiful wedding and thank them for letting us be a part of their wedding journey – it was an honour!
