This was the most fun part of all the wedding preparations
as we did all the décor ourselves. I started about 10 month before the wedding
making story boards, checking for references, mainly on Pinterest, and doing
plans layout of ceremony, cocktail and main reception area. And little by
little filling up boxes with all the “stuff” I’ve done. Seriusly, If I had left
this to the end, we wouldn’t have made it on time.
The concept for our wedding was simple: we wanted to
celebrate, we wanted a party! So we focused everything around the dancing… Our
wedding was all about having fun and being happy combining both South African
and Argentinean’s traditions.
Regarding colors, we love color in general, so the wedding
was a carnival of color. The main colors where coral and turquoise but we
included some pastel ones for the beach part and then for the reception we
brought in brighter colors.
I think that sometimes people under estimate DIY but for me
it was one of the best parts of our wedding. When I was standing on the dance
floor and saw all the things we’ve done ourselves I thought, “This is just the
start of what we can achieve together”.
