We thought we’d take a moment during our quieter winter period to show some gratitude to our suppliers, the people that create the beautiful produce that we serve with pride. We very seriously support local. It’s very close to our heart. It’s a way of paying our guests’ generosity forward and helping to sustain our local country community. This month, we focus on The Earth Centre Swellendam, our corner ethically-sourced veggie, fruit,...
Lizelle & Kevin’s Country Wedding… in the rain, in Swellendam
Posted on Fri February 1, 2013.
This post is going to look the prettiest yet! Firstly, because our Bruce ‘Flyinghorse’ Geils takes the most spectacular pictures, but also because I’ve finally worked out how to get the pictures the same size within this new ‘blog’ thing. Slowly, but surely, we get the hang of this… I always seem to start an entry with an apology. I seem to do the same with our newsletters! Honestly though, time runs away far too fast and there is so much to say and so many lovely guests to take care of, so once again, apologies for the delay in telling you all about this very special rainy October country wedding…
Lizelle & Kevin are a dream couple. They are gorgeous, uncomplicated, easy-going and we clicked with them immediately. They absolutely LOVED Wander’s food especially his homemade chocolate ice-cream. So much so, that Kevin ate it for breakfast more than once. Their wedding was HUGELY blessed by the relentless rain. Lizelle & Kevin galoshed (is that a word?) their way through their ceremony which was held at the most spectacular property close to Swellendam called ‘GodsWindow’. Lizelle had visited the farm there as a little girl and had kept it in her heart for her ideal Swellendam country wedding.
Their reception was held in our light and airy conservatory which looked so beautiful. We loved the ‘Candy Bar’ with sweets made themselves, we loved the white balls and fairy lights hanging from the ceiling and we loved the pure colours, succulents with soft roses, but most of all, we loved spending this glorious day with a truly lovely couple. Thank you to Lizell & Kevin for choosing to share it with us!
