There's just something so fairytale-surreal-lovely about oversize paper flowers, and this wedding is full of 'em. Cornelia and Paul's Old Mac Daddy celebration was a labour of love, quite literally - together with friends and family they created their gorgeous decor from scratch, every petal and every origami fox (yep, foxes - this couple loves them, and they made an absolutely adorable motif woven through the wedding in unexpected places!). With bright pops of yellow, blue and orange - including a peekaboo yellow train on Cornelia's dress - as well as the sunny Elgin weather, this was a wedding that was full of cheer, and as fun and laid-back as it was original. Lindsay of Dear Heart Photos took these amazing pics!

Proudly South African Details
Advice for Future Brides & Grooms We tried to use local produce for the food and drinks. The pear and apple ciders produced in the Elgin valley were a hit on the hottest day of the year!

• Enjoy the planning of your wedding- it's fun to spend time and brainstorm ideas with your fiancé.
• Accept help, and ask friends and family to help, especially with DIY projects!
• Try to obtain references for service providers you want to use.
• Prior to the wedding, we had an engagement shoot with our wonderful photographer. We would recommend it, as it helped us to practice being in front of the intimidating camera.
