DIY Wedding Details to Adore ♥
Roelien and Migael from Hartbeespoort, South Africa, were married at the gorgeous Imperfect Perfection wedding venue on a day filled with vintage inspired DIY details fabulously captured by the lens of Genevieve Fundaro Photography. The day was filled with dreamy decor created with the help of Hester Peters from Love & Grace - vintage paper, lovely lace, hearts and pretty pearls. The theme represented the couple's personalities: "We have a very deep love for one another and can be a bit old school, but are still young and adventurous." There are so many delightful DIY details throughout today's wedding feature that I advise getting your Pinterest finger prepared! "We wanted to make a lot of the decor items ourselves,' shared Rolien. "My grandmother made jam in cute jars for the guests, my mother baked small little heart shaped cookies to go with the jam. The jam jars were beautifully decorated with crochet. We made all the strings of pearls and added sparkly beads in between. I made the boutonnieres for the men. We even made the save the dates ourselves. We really wanted the guests to us and our personalities shine through the wedding decor."

Love Story: We met in high school. We both attended winter school in Pretoria and stayed at the same guesthouse. Even at that young age, it was love at first sight. After five years together and both completing our studies, we knew it was time. He took me to a spa, but couldn't wait until we got there (he was scared of losing the ring), so he shook me out of bed early that morning and stood there on one knee. The rest of the spa day we enjoyed being engaged and dreaming about the future. It was perfect!
Bridal Style: My dress was a mermaid style dress covered in beautiful lace by La Sposa. The lace has a flower pattern and the dress was designed around the pattern of the lace. It had a sweatheart neckline and is off-white. I wanted natural make up, with some emphasis on my eyes using sparkle eyeliner. For my hair we decided to do a curly side pony with a beautiful braid from the one side of my head to the other.
Bouquet: My bouquets had to look classic, yet fresh and modern. We had strings of pearls in between the flowers and fun paper elements like pinwheels and paper flowers. We used mainly roses, carnations, lilies and tulips.
