I may have got a little carried away when choosing the pictures for today's feature. But who can blame me, because after all, what's more romantic than a beach wedding in beautiful Cape Town. You can almost smell the sea air in Samantha Clifton's stunning pictures, and although Lise and Tiaan were married on Clifton Second, it's like they were on a private island in the middle of nowhere, with white sands and tumbling waves as their witnesses. And as if that wasn't lovely enough, after the ceremony they adjourned to the Royal Cape Yacht Club for an elegant reception with the lights of the harbour reflecting the warm glow of candlelight within. Let's just take a moment to mention Lise's gown, because I am absolutely loving this bride's style, especially paired with a soft cathedral length veil and a gorgeous protea bouquet!

The Proposal
He asked me on ta little private beach near his parents' house on the West Coast. There was no one there. The first person that knew about our engagement was the car guard!

The Dress
I am quick to make decisions as I was a fashion buyer in my previous life and just decided on a picture that I saw, just after we got engaged. A friend of mine, Genevieve Newman from Beloved Bridalwear translated my dream into reality.
