In Gizelle and Johan’s South Africa wedding at Die Woud, less was definitely more! Using a black, white, and gold color palette, the couple added a moody and modern vibe to the open-air chapel and glass tent that made it feel unique while not taking away from the natural beauty. They also played up the drama and romance of the venue with free-hanging lightbulbs, marquee initials, and giant white florals designed by Wildeflower. For a hint of bohemian flair, Gizelle wore a stunning crochet dress from White Lilly Bridal and paired it with a delicate jeweled flower crown to match the minimalist vibe. Thunder & Love Wedding Photography nailed it in capturing the romance and exceptional beauty of this South Africa wedding!
The most important part in the wedding planning was just having fun together. It was such a special time in our lives, and I didn’t want to look back at it and cringe. So, it was definitely important for us both to have fun with the planning, to take the serious stuff seriously, and to not fight over the small things. It was also important to not create or allow any pressure to get to us.
Our pastor personalized the ceremony in such a beautiful way. We had messages and Bible verses from each of our mothers, and we used communion as a symbol for our marriage in Christ. I also had a dream about Solomon two nights before the wedding and asked our Pastor to incorporate that into the ceremony. It was incredibly special to me as the Song of Solomon talks about the bride confessing her love and his delight in his bride.
Die Woud was the first and only venue we looked at! One of my bridesmaids showed me the venue on social media even before we were engaged, and I immediately fell in love! So, Johan and I went down to Cape Town and had a look. It represented what we love, our style, and us as a couple. We love nature and the outdoors, so it was such an easy choice for us!
We wanted a vibe that was natural to complement the venue because it’s already so beautiful and striking on its own. So, we went with a minimalistic and bohemian style, which fits our personal style, as well! We also wanted a lot of lighting so it would feel magical in the evening. I am not a huge fan of colour, so we went with the black and gold, which made it more modern, and greenery with white flowers.
The most memorable part of the day was definitely Johan‘s speech! He really captured the essence of who he is and included almost all the guests in his speech. He had everybody crying with laughter! And, when he came to the part about me, his speech turned to being lovely and sincere. There were so many emotions!

Between the DIY flowers designed by the couple’s friends, the storytelling signage made by the groom, and the countryside views of the private property, this Yorkshire marquee wedding was a modern DIY wedding dream come true! Libby and Henry’s ceremony took place at St Mary’s Church Tickhill and their reception marquee was set up on the family’s property and was filled with long farmhouse tables, greenery installations, acrylic signs, and a circular bar. From top to bottom, this wedding was beautifully designed while also allowing the natural beauty of the property take center stage. The marquee they chose was light, bright, and large enough for not only dinner and dancing but one of the most fun bride and groom entrances we’ve ever seen! Remain in Light Photography and second shooter Chloe Lee Photography nailed it in capturing every gorgeous detail and light-hearted moment of this Yorkshire wedding.
The most important thing for us was to bring all of our nearest and dearest together and to have a big feast to celebrate the day. We wanted it to be quite informal and for there to be lots of energy and relaxation. Once we knew that we would have the wedding on the farm, we just wanted to enjoy the process and collaboration.
The venue was very special to us, we had a marquee in the field in front of our parents’ houses. We have amazing memories of growing up on the farm there. The tree on the driveway was very special. I always used to think of it as a Roald Dahl tree when growing up, and so we definitely wanted to have photos with the tree. We also liked the idea of having somewhere that we can come back to and remember the wedding. We had an oak tree planted on the site of the wedding in the hope of being able to bring our children and grandchildren there in the future.
There was a lot of DIY from both us and friends of ours. Our two very good friends Davina and India did all of the flowers for us. I had a vision of the flowers being very clean and green, being bold in the greenness of the leaves. I communicated this with Davina and India and they very much got our vision, what they produced was exactly what we wanted. They were such an integral part of bringing our vision of the day to life!
Henry also did a lot of DIY projects, creating the frames for the overhead flower hangings, making the acrylic table plan, which we felt brought a modern vibe to the day. He also made all of the signs that led the guests through the grounds and into the marquee, telling a story along the way.
