 Mireille and Patrick created a magical garden wedding at their home in Harare, Zimbabwe that was simply unlike any other. Drawing inspiration from Swan Lake and Out of Africa to create an atmosphere of vintage glamour, what they achieved was a veritable wonderland of magical, ethereal beauty combined with the African landscape they love so dearly. Live cheetahs walked down the aisle, dream-like gauze decorated the reception and surprise performances by a band, a belly dancer and the South African National Ballet delighted guests and the newlyweds alike!
