Andrea and Garth nailed bohemian chic style in their wedding at The Cowshed<\/a>! Using a color palette of dusty blue, cranberry, and rose gold, they combined the bohemian classics, including a DIY macrame ceremony backdrop and protea flower arrangements from Maliflora<\/a>, with chic fashion and bold decor at the reception. The bride also gave her classic lace and chiffon White Lilly Bridal<\/a> gown a boho twist lace gloves and a tasseled rose gold belt. Photographer Judith Belle<\/a> captured every gorgeous detail of this wedding perfectly, including the couple’s epic first dance to a mash-up made by the groom!<\/p>\n

The Cowshed<\/a>, Lydenburg, South Africa<\/p>\n

Garth<\/span>‘s parents own a house on a game-farm in Hoedspruit, and we often pass through Lydenburg’s Badvontein Valley to get there. The thought of getting married in a piece of the world that fills us with so much joy whenever we pass through it sounded like heaven to us. The Cowshed<\/a> was the third place we looked at, and we knew right away it was the one! It had a relaxed theme with all the boho charm but with none of the kitsch art that often accompanies that look. It was perfect! It also accommodated 41 people in a couple of different farm houses all over the property, which worked perfectly with our vision of having a wedding-weekend as opposed to a wedding day.<\/em><\/p>\n

I wore my hair down in loose messy spiral-curls (which my sister braided up on the one side), paired with red lips, and a heavenly light lace dress with a silk chiffon overlay. I was happily in my comfort zone! We made a rose gold belt for the dress and actually bought a pair of beautiful tasseled earrings to add as a pendant to the end of the belt. Jace from White Lilly Bridal<\/a> also made me some pretty lace gloves. Other than that, I wore my favorite day-to-day jewelry pieces, as well as a gold charm bracelet passed down from my grandmother, which her father made for her on her 21st birthday.<\/em><\/p>\n

We never really chose a theme, but it organically evolved into a sort of bohemian vibe with a rock ‘n’ roll twist. I’m not a big “bling” girl and prefer natural textures and big beautiful flowers. Garth<\/span>‘s a part-time musician in a rock band. We combined our styles without thinking about it too much.<\/em><\/p>\n

During the ceremony, we had personalized vows, which we later dropped into a locked box along with some Polaroids of the day, a bottle of whiskey and some other bits and bobs saved over the last seven years of dating. We will probably open this again on our 10-year wedding anniversary. We were married under an exquisite tree in front of a beautiful macrame wedding arch draped in an abundance of our favorite flowers and married by a pastor who happened to drum in Garth<\/span>‘s band many years prior and also happened to be my English teacher at a stage in high school. It was very special!<\/em><\/p>\n

I made our macrame wedding arch with the help of my bridesmaids and an online tutorial or two after battling to find what I wanted online. It also served as our photobooth backdrop and was insanely beautiful draped in flowers.<\/em><\/p>\n
