So, while Pyper, Dani and I were being blown by the luscious wedding of Dirk and Anika, less than 15 kms away, Natasha, Marizaan and Simone were having a similar experience. I've always had this running theory that somewhere there's a secret Facebook group for brides that no vendors know about and on that group they get sorted into teams that have to either inquire for the same date or the same venue, or request the same engagement shoot location, all within a very short time frame...if my theory were to have been true, I guess the team that all our 20 April brides had been sorted into was putting together weddings that can really only be described as "wow". And so, definitely, was the case for Cerwyn and Steflin.
Steflin shone radiance with her glamour makeup look and elegantly, tight fitting, dress, while Cerwyn held nothing back showing off a hunter-green suit. Now, even though these two were the showstoppers, on their own wedding they did have one aspect that came very close to stealing their thunder and that was the workings of our dear friend, Willem from Willem Styled Events. We had been working a lot with him around this time and although every wedding he had put together had been exquisite to put it mildly, with this one, he had held nothing back. He had joined his talents with Decoflow and Happinest Hire to put together a setup that was not only a feast for the eyes, but that pushed Drosberg onto a completely new level.
The theme was matched perfectly with the shade of Cerwyn's suit, while breaking the mold with touches of coral pink, giving a look that was both classy and totally unique. The stationary had been done by Cerwyn himself, laying to rest the rumours that all grooms do on weddings is show up.
Their feel was completed by the joined musical talents of Saxophonist, Duncan Johnson, instrumentalists, The Ploemies, and the DJ talents of DJ Waleed, ensuring that their guests got just as much merriment out of their wedding as themselves.
With all this said and done, the wedding of Cerwyn and Steflin was an amazing one, it was a day of class, it was a day of decorum, but at the heart of it all, it remained a day of love; yes their vision was big and over-the-top, but that was simply an opener to what this day was truly about: the first day of a lifelong celebration of the lives they promised to share together, and a promise that big, deserves to be celebrated in the biggest possible way.
