Christiaan & Danties Romantic Autumn Wedding
ROMANTIC AUTUMN WEDDING
On a picturesque Autumn day, Christiaan and Dantie exchanged vows in an intimate ceremony at Riverside Country Estate. The couple’s unique blend of modern and warm elements perfectly captured the essence of their love story, imbuing the atmosphere with a sense of romance and togetherness.
Flowers & Decor
Pronkertjie Flower & Décor Styling’s Lizelle shares that the décor styling was a harmonious blend of their signature style and the venue’s aesthetic. Dantie’s vision for a clean and minimalist look was expertly executed by opting for an all-white décor palette, allowing the lush flowers and candles to inject warmth and romance into the celebration. The intoxicating aroma of garden roses and peonies added an extra layer of elegance, often missing when working with local blooms.
Lizelle believes that many brides underestimate the beauty of a winter wedding, but this stunning event serves as a perfect example of what can be achieved.
Bride Dantie’s Inspiration
Lizelle thrived in creating harmonious contrasts between dried foliage and fresh flowers, which added an exciting layer of depth to her designs. Her passion for crafting unique, modern yet romantic arrangements was palpable as she worked on Dantie’s bridal bouquet. For Lizelle, this project stood out as the highlight of their wedding day collaboration.
Dantie had a clear vision for her special day – a colour scheme and style that reflected her love for flowers with deep reds, burgundy, and pink hues. She opted for a modern approach over traditional norms, allowing her personal taste to shine through.
With Pronkertjie Flower & Décor Styling’s expertise, Lizelle brought Dantie’s vision to life.

Advice From The Bride
Dantie emphasizes the importance of authenticity in planning a wedding. She suggests that brides should be true to themselves, identifying what they truly love and dislike. This clarity will enable talented creatives to bring their unique vision to life, resulting in an outcome that may differ from initial expectations. The key is to accept this deviation and find joy in the beautiful culmination of efforts.
It’s essential to recognize that a wedding is not solely about the couple; there are also personal and professional endeavors to consider post-nuptially. To set oneself up for success, Dantie recommends seeking guidance from a counselor, addressing differences, and embarking on this new chapter with confidence.
