    While we can’t leave our homes right now, there’s no harm in dreaming right? We expect outdoor weddings will be majorly popular in 2021 once the coronavirus pandemic has wound down and people can once again enjoy the beauty of the outside world.

    Lovers of the outdoors will be right at home in a forest setting. With this kind of location, there really isn’t that much you have to do in terms of decor. A few twinkly fairy lights, candles (safely monitored) and draping will go a long way in transforming the space into a romantic venue.

    If you’re planning a wedding, now is the perfect time to do your research. Here is some dreamy decor to inspire you:

    One thing that can’t be avoided on your big day? Photos. Besides your official photographer, your guests will definitely be snapping some cute pictures together to remember this special day. So why not give them a beautiful backdrop to do it against?

Regardless, these beautiful backdrops will perfectly compliment the day. What makes them even better is that they can be made at home using a few key components, and customised to fit your day.

    You know what they say: Life is better in colour. If you’re not shy of a few vivid hues, why not incorporate them into your big day?

    Using bright colours adds a vibrant, happy feel to your wedding decor, and you’re guests are sure to be feeling it too. Too much colour, however, can feel a bit childish, so be careful with the combinations you choose. Consider using various shades of reds and pinks, or complimentary tones like yellow and navy.

    Here are some ideas to inspire you:

    Once you’ve made your walk down the aisle, all eyes will be on you and your partner as you say your I do’s. As beautiful as you two are, the space behind you should be too. Add excitement to your wedding venue with a creative ceremony backdrop.

    As one of the first decor pieces your guests will see during the day, your ceremony backdrop is an excellent chance to get your wedding theme started in style. They’re also really great for covering up eyesores like cracks in the walls or that one light fixture that keeps flickering. Another bonus: you’ll have some pretty epic Instagram shots!

    Here are some creative ideas we love to get your own creative juices flowing:

    Living in South Africa, it might not be a bad idea to stock up on candles for the scheduled (and not-so-scheduled) load shedding. Lucky for us, candles are a perfect touch to any wedding and will have you prepared should a blackout hit. (We strongly advise trying to find out if there will be load shedding on your wedding day and checking with the venue and caterers whether they have generators).

    Regardless of electricity, though, candles are beautiful, smell great and create a romantic atmosphere. Here’s how to make sure you have a lit wedding and incorporate these little lights into your decor:

    Your walk down the aisle is a magical moment, and you’ll want the scenery to reflect that. Line your path with stunning decor that beautifully pave your way to your loved one.

    Considering the small space of an aisle, you don’t need to go big with decor. Simple floral bouquets or even signs will do wonders. Extend your wedding theme with specific flowers and colours to connect your ceremony to your reception.

    Gather some inspiration from these wonderful walkways.
