Wedding Weekend

This past Easter Weekend, we were privileged to be guests at the most beautiful wedding! The reception was held in the veld, with the most awesome view! In the Gamsberg mountains in Namibia. I only met the bride last year through a mutual friend, but since our first tea date - turned brunch - turned - coffee- turned to setting up a cycle date, we have become such good friends! We can chat about gardening, new recipes, wedding blogs, African adventures and love stories and dreams and all pretty things - all the things my husband is very grateful I have a girlfriend to share with : )

So when she asked me to make their wedding bands and gifts for bridesmaids, as well as gifts for both moms, I was so excited! I felt so privileged to be part of their wedding in such a big way.

To George and Karlien (who are at this very moment soaking up the sun in the most exotic honeymoon location!!!), weereens baie geluk! En vreeslik baie dankie vir die mooiste troufees! Wat n droom : )

The pendants for the mother of the bride and mother of the groom. Brass pendant on silver chain with personalized engraving.

 

Bridesmaid bracelets. Each shape different and each with a pastel shade of embroidery cotton detail from the wedding colour theme.

The 9ct yellow gold wedding bands. Rope ring and hammered texture wedding band with significant gps co-ordinates engraved.

 

I love this last photo. The engagement ring was designed and made by the mutual friend that introduced us, Alet Snyman. one of my good friends from University and an AMAZING jeweller! If you live in Durban - shes the girl to go to! Very special that we both get a spot on Karliens ring finger ; )
