Rainy Three-Day Sunwolf Wedding

December 6, 2022 | justine

Despite a downpour the morning of their wedding day, Grace and James decided to nix plan B and embraced the elements. The unpredictable weather couldn’t keep them from celebrating their love in the most beautiful way possible with their closest loved ones. Complete with stunning pop-up glamping tents, a traditional South-African braai, and lush florals in homage to the groom’s family protea farm, every detail of their three-day Sunwolf wedding day was simply magical. 

Armed with chic clear umbrellas, the couple exchanged heartfelt vows, surrounded by the beauty of nature and the love of their friends and family. Following their ceremony among the trees, their guests were treated to a marquee reception. From the towering florals to the tea lights in hanging glass terrariums and the canopy of string lights, the pair absolutely nailed the enchanting woodland vibe.

Instead of fighting the weather, they rolled with the punches and stayed focused on one another the entire time. And these gorgeous images by Junebug members The Godard’s prove that a rainy day affair can still be dazzling.

Why They Wanted A Three-Day Sunwolf Wedding Retreat

We wanted our guests to “walk into our world” with an epic three-day-long wedding retreat in the woods. The look and feel of this weekend were top of mind throughout the planning process, and we made every decision with the goal of a magical carefree experience. And Sunwolf Riverside Resort was truly an escape that provided a feeling of remoteness in a forest setting without leaving creature comforts behind.

Embracing The Rain On Their Big Day

We didn’t get bogged down in the stress of the day. We decided to embrace the elements and say our vows in the great outdoors. The rain added so much emotion to the ceremony and made the decor glisten and shimmer. Clear umbrellas were the true heroes of this day and allowed us to move forward with a beautiful ceremony in the rain without obscuring the view or interfering with photos. And now, we couldn’t even imagine our day any other way! 

Keeping Guests Entertained With A Photo Booth

Instead of favors, we opted for a photo booth to provide a more personalized experience for our guests to create and keep memories. This allowed for a carefree and fun-loving atmosphere.
