Rustic, chic, jazzy, intimate, beautiful, fun... I don't even know where to start with this wedding, I love it so much. Okay, scratch that, I do. THE DRESS. Seriously, how gorgeous is Robyn's lace feature back creation (dreamed up by the fashionista bride herself), especially topped off with a shiny gold belt that makes it unlike any wedding dress I've featured (or seen, actually) before? Huge wow factor. And speaking of wow factors, let's talk about the gin bar that Robyn and Grant set up as a way of sharing some of their London lifestyle with friends back home. Amazing (and personal, win). And those are just two aspects of a wedding that really takes rustic glamour to the next level - equal parts elegant and laid back, it's the kind of garden party I imagine people throwing in the '20s, with a touch of both France (where the groom proposed) and home, including lovely arrangements of fynbos and herbs. Look out for a hundred perfect little details - flowers frozen into ice cubes, table numbers in lace embroidery hoops, mason jar lanterns, mix and match bow ties. And let's not leave out the gorgeous pictures by dynamic duo Toni and Desmond of dna photographers, who so beautifully captured everything on camera. Hooray for all of it.

The Proposal
Grant completely surprised me - he swept me away to France and popped the question on 'The Lavender Terrace' of Château De Bagnols. He set it up so well that I had no idea what was happening. To me we were on an adventure driving around Burgundy and somehow blagged our way into this amazing château to take a look. Pretending to set up the camera for a shot of the two of us, he ran over to me and instead of standing beside me he got down on one knee... cleverly leaving the camera to record the whole thing!
