Four reasons you should take advantage of the bush for your wedding:
1. A truly African experience
The truth is that we sometimes forget how lucky we are to live in such an amazing country. Getting married in the bush means you get a wonderful colourful mix of cultures, locations and influences.
2. Photo opportunities galore
Which bride wouldn’t want to get photographed against the burning sunset or among the tall highveld grass? There are countless ways to take advantage of the amazing views.
3. African inspired decor
Let the outside in, and allow the landscape to be a part of your décor all freely provided by Mother Nature. Remember to host your cocktail hour outside on the patio looking at the sunset.
4. Where bush meets city
South Africa enjoys abundant bush, this means you need not travel far to experience it. Close proximity to the city means your relatives won’t have to travel too far for your big day and all your wedding suppliers will be close on hand.
5. Romance factor
Get lost in the vastness of your surroundings. Enjoy the intimacy of just you, your loved ones and nature.
