Colourful Beach Wedding by Justin Davis | SouthBound Bride

via

Rain rain go away - it's a miserable day in Durban, but I'm curled up in bed with a dog at my side, bringing you this wedding that's full of colour and light and beachy goodness. I absolutely love SBB reader Sarah and Gareth's chilled out attitude, including their choice of Paternoster as a venue and bright colours and references to children's books and toys on the tables and throughout. In fact, there are tons of great ideas to be had here, so be sure to read Sarah's story as well as revel in Justin Davis ' lovely pics. But be absolutely sure to scroll down to the end, where you'll also find the AWESOME stop motion animation that they made for their invitation. So creative and fun!

The Proposal
DIY Elements
We made the groomsmen's Lego men boutonnieres, the cheese boards with 'Eat me/Drink me' from Alice in Wonderland, the hearts with our children's book quotes engraved on them that were hung around the wedding and reception venues, shot-trays for the toasts as well as all the shot and slushy and mixes on the day. My bridesmaids helped me sew our bunting together and we put the flowers and bouquets together on the morning.SERVICE PROVIDERS

On our seven year anniversary we went for a gorgeous lunch in Constantia. It must have been 35 degrees, so Gareth suggested a swim at my Dad's place afterwards. As it turned out, he'd been trying to get my Dad on the phone all day, without any luck. While I was changing, he quickly asked his permission to propose. Afterwards we went for drinks at the Alphen Hotel and, on our way back to the car, we stopped on one of the lawn benches for him to 'look for his car keys.' The thought 'Imagine he proposed right now - yeah right! That will never happen!' crossed my mind before he pulled out my beautiful antique ring and asked, 'Bokkie, will you marry me?'
