Relaxed Rustic Wedding at The Stone Cellar by Leandri Kers

via

They say home is where the heart is (and I say, where the wine is ;) ) so it's no wonder that today's sweet couple, Chris & Karin, wanted to create a home-away-from-home atmosphere for their wedding, in the relaxed, rustic setting of the Stone Cellar. The decor was simple and lovely - lace runners on long wooden tables, hanging greenery and wreaths, lasercut elements, a classic palette of white and green - all of which perfectly complemented the family-style dining and casual canapés that they had in mind. Add in some gorgeous scenery and photographer Leandri Kers to up the romance stakes with her dreamy pictures, and you have a wedding that's as warm and welcoming as it is pretty.

DIYs & Details
I work for a wedding stationery company, Pistachio Designs, so I designed my own invitations and stationery. I had so much fun being able to create designs exactly the way I wanted... however it was far more challenging designing for myself than I imagined it would be! I was able to make it very personal, which is one of my favourite things about our wedding day. I really loved our invitations as they combined two things I am obsessed with - wreaths and laser cutting. Another whimsical detail was our cake topper, a wooden laser-cut panda and squirrel, which are our nicknames for each other :)
My mom made 200 meters of bunting that we used on hooks that led all the way up to the chapel. She also made about 100 napkins because I was a little too particular about the exact shade of grey I wanted. My aunt baked us a delicious wedding cake, decorated with flowers out of my mother in law's garden.
