    Musgrave Pink Gin - Explore the Moment.  

    There is a certain kind of magic that lingers around weddings – the quiet anticipation before guests arrive, the soft rustle of dresses, the way flowers seem to open just a little fuller on the morning of the ceremony. It’s a day shaped by small, beautiful gestures. The scent of roses. The glow of candlelight. The people you love gathered in one place. And somewhere between those moments, Musgrave Pink Gin has found a home.

    Musgrave Pink Gin carries a gentle blush tone that seems made for weddings. Infused with rosewater and botanicals, its fragrance is soft and floral, like freshly opened petals on a warm day. Couples often describe it as a drink that feels “alive” in photographs – the kind that blends naturally into pastel tablescapes, bouquets, and golden-hour lighting. It doesn’t shout for attention; it glows.

    A Taste That Belongs in a Celebration

    There’s something about the first sip of Musgrave that feels like a sigh – light, fragrant, graceful. It moves easily with rose, citrus, berries, and herbs, allowing each couple to create cocktails that feel personal to them. A welcome drink with floating rose petals. A toast shared under fairy lights. A cocktail hour that smells faintly of summer gardens.

    Musgrave has a way of slipping into the rhythm of a wedding without trying. It feels familiar, romantic, and quietly special.

    50ml Miniatures for the Ones Who Came to Celebrate You

    There is a sweetness in giving something small yet meaningful to the guests who surround you. Musgrave’s 50ml miniatures have become a favourite for this reason. They rest beautifully at each place setting – tiny bottles of blush pink, tied with ribbon or a handwritten note, waiting to be discovered.

    Guests pick them up, smile, turn them over in their hands. It’s a keepsake they can enjoy later, long after the music fades and the flowers are packed away. A reminder of the day they shared with you.

    And in photographs? They add the softest, most romantic touch – a hint of colour, a little sparkle, a lovely detail among lace, glassware, and roses.

    Where Beauty Meets Experience

    Planners and photographers love Musgrave for more than its taste. It’s a visual thread they can weave through the day. A bottle in a flatlay beside pearls and stationery. A tray of pink cocktails catching the light. A bar setup that invites guests to pause, explore, and enjoy.

    Musgrave doesn’t try to be the focus. It simply joins the celebration with quiet elegance, filling spaces with warmth and charm.

    Part of Your Story

    Every wedding has its own heartbeat – soft or loud, classic or playful. Musgrave seems to find its place in all of them. Perhaps it’s the colour, perhaps the rosewater, or perhaps the simple truth that some things just belong where love gathers.

    Whether it’s poured into a welcome drink, offered as a gentle thank-you to your guests, or photographed beside your bouquet, Musgrave Pink Gin adds a small, graceful moment to a day full of big feelings.

    A South African couple forewent tradition by requesting financial donations to help pay off Rhodes University students’ fee debts instead of wedding gifts when they got married earlier this month.

    James Rycroft and Toni Parsons are both Rhodes alumni. They each received a one-year bursary award from the English Olympiad and both went on to read for a Bachelor of Arts degree with English as a major, which is how they met in 2001.

    “We lost touch after graduating and it was through Facebook that we reconnected. We met again in 2016 through our dear friend Natasha, and got engaged in 2018 in Esizindeni, near Coffee Bay, during our December cross-country road trip,” they said.

    The couple got married in Southbroom on the Kwa-Zulu Natal south coast at the beginning of October 2019.

    The couple spoke to their alma mater to explain that their request for financial aid for students was inspired by a fellow old Rhodian and friend, Natasha Joseph, who has been running an annual call for contributions to clear students’ fee accounts since 2017.

    “Earning a degree is often a key life moment for a young person and we felt strongly about directing our community resources to helping a few young people at the university to graduate,” said James.

    Toni added: “We believe that earning a degree should not be inhibited by your [in]ability to pay. A degree from a quality institution like Rhodes University can lead to serious opportunities when you enter the world of work. The contributions made by our community are intended in that spirit – to help those students who are unable to graduate, not because they did not meet academic standards, but because they were unable to raise the cash.”

    Rhodes University Vice Chancellor, Dr Sizwe Mabizela accepted the couple’s gift and thanked them in a letter with these words.

    “This has impacted me deeply. It proves, once again, the calibre and well-roundedness of our graduates. At a time when young couples would normally and naturally only think of their own comfort and improving their lives, they have both actioned a social purpose and are living proof of our alumni.”
