Today's wedding is all about modern elegance and simplicity. Against the breathtaking backdrop of the V&A Waterfront in Cape Town, Salubona and Olivia celebrated their wedding with family and friends, taking full advantage of the Mother City's abundant natural charms. Just looking at the light glinting off the water, at Table Mountain striking a pose in the background, at the range of guests suited up in both fashion-forward and traditional Swazi attire, reminds me what makes Cape Town so special. I love that Olivia and Salubona let this vibrant city speak for itself, accenting it with graceful white flowers, navy suits for the boys, and pretty baby blue for the bridesmaids. Like Olivia's philosophy on her gorgeous wedding dress - she wanted to wear the dress, not let it wear her - this couple struck the perfect balance with their nuptial style, and the fab Lindy Kannemeyer of Lindy Photography was on hand to capture every sun-kissed, romantic moment.

We chose the ceremony venue, St Mark's Church, based firstly on our religious beliefs, and then secondly because it was in District Six, where my dad is originally from - it meant a lot to my family. It was also close to the reception venue, and I didn't want our guests to be driving far between the venues.
In terms of the reception venue we went there to view the site one day, and immediately knew it was where we wanted our reception. The One and Only, Cape Town gave us both the outside space and the inside space that was perfect, and it was very modern.
