Handmade Rustic Little Farm Wedding | SouthBound Bride

via

I love bringing you fresh wedding venues here on SBB, and they don't get fresher than this one (in fact, Deidre & Leon were the very first to get married at the lovely Little Farm on the Stream, a gorgeous olive farm in Wellington. They incorporated the intimate, rustic feel of the farmyard into their DIY-tastic celebration, which also has a lovely, earthy feel to it - the heart-stamp leaf confetti is my fave! I also love that this fun couple included a whimsical element, with both river stones (from their own trips) and toys in between the antique bottles filled with wildflowers on the tables. There are so many gorgeous personal touches, right down to a handmade dancefloor, which is where they closed out the night with one final, incredibly romantic, dance. Sigh! And speaking of fresh talent, I'm so happy to welcome photographer Kristi Agier to SBB for the first time too!

The Proposal
The Honeymoon
We didn't have too much time but thought it was important to get away for a couple of days, just the two of us. So we went on a little road trip. For the first three nights we stayed at the beautiful Bergendam Cottage where we did not see one other person - absolute bliss! After that we did a couple of nights in Struisbaai, Cape Agulas and then Montague. One crisp June morning last year, while on a paddling holiday on the Orange River, in the cosiness of our little tent, Leon went down on both knees and asked me to be his wife. Without any hesitation I said YES!
