The Gentle Regality Wedding Concept
Warren-Stone Weddings and Just Jack Weddings and Events collaborated to craft a one-of-a-kind wedding concept that embodies modern elegance. The brainchild of these dynamic teams, the theme aimed to captivate the contemporary South African couple with its opulent, dramatic flair. Renowned planner and bride-to-be, Precious Thamaga, graciously served as muse and model for this exclusive styled shoot.
Set against the picturesque backdrop of Nooitgedacht Estate’s lush oak trees and historic manor house, the photo shoot began with a single table setup that harmoniously combined heritage with opulence. The rich tones of the table layout were beautifully complemented by Mable M Florals’ soft-hued centrepiece. As Precious and her five bridesmaids gathered for their Bridesmaidsmoon celebration at Nooitgedacht, they indulged in a sumptuous brunch and champagne toasts.
One notable highlight was Shirley’s 30th birthday surprise, marked with an exquisite cake from Inke Cake Design.
The Floral Angel Wings
The second part of the shoot took on a new level of glamour as all the girls donned stunning gowns crafted by Jacoba Clothing. Makeup artist Mandy Nxumalo worked her magic, transforming each bride into a real-life princess. But the true mastermind behind this section’s visual splendor was florist Mabel from Mabel M Florals, whose creativity knew no bounds. She designed exquisite floral accessories for each bridesmaid and a show-stopping headpiece for the bride.
The pièce de résistance, however, was the breathtaking floral angel wings that transported the scene to a whimsical fairytale realm. This masterful creation perfectly captured Precious’s effervescent personality and radiant energy – she truly looked like a goddess come to life. As photographer Stefan Steenkamp attested, ‘They were a dream to work with; we didn’t have to tell them what to do, they just worked that camera so effortlessly and had an absolute blast.’

Extravagance, Style & The Wedding Stage
As the photoshoot came to a close, attention shifted to the breathtakingly beautiful bridal table setup, which served as the pièce de résistance of the reception. All involved – from the vendors to the couple themselves – shared a collective vision: to create a visually stunning and Instagram-worthy setting that would leave a lasting impression on their guests. And boy, did they succeed!
The decor expertly blended rich, deep tones with romantic undertones, striking a perfect balance between opulence and whimsy. The show-stopping floral arrangements, replete with lush greenery and vibrant blooms, provided a stunning counterpoint to the dramatic black candles and tableware. Meanwhile, Nico from N Concepts and Designs brought his A-game by introducing an innovative, mirror-backed wedding stage that added a sleek, modern dimension to the overall aesthetic.
Candles scattered across the floor cast a warm, golden glow, their soft light reflecting off the mirrored surface and illuminating the surrounding area with an ethereal radiance. This trend, popular amongst African couples, allows the newlyweds to bask in the spotlight – literally – as they’re treated like royalty on their special day.
