Natural Beauty Wedding at Wolfkloof by Adel Photography {Grethe & GR}

via

Over the last couple of years, I've noticed a big trend towards 'natural' weddings - ones that brides describe not just as 'rustic' but as 'organic', and that include shades from nature rather than artificial hues. Maybe it's part of the eco movement, or maybe it's a reflection of South Africans' love of the outdoors. I absolutely love it, and I really love when the relaxed feeling in decor transfers over to a relaxed feeling in the wedding as a whole. Grethe & GR's wedding is just a perfect example of this - they chose bunches and green garlands of eucalyptus leaves for their decor, muted pastels for their bridesmaids, a family-style feast for their meal, and a big tree as their ceremony backdrop. It's the kind of long, sunny, food-and-wine-filled afternoon that makes me want to pack up my laptop, grab a picnic blanket and head outside to the open air. Adel Ferreira was on the scene to take these lovely pictures of the laid-back lovebirds and their happy guests.
