On Saturday, 25th September 2021, Kate & Greg’s wedding at Nooitgedacht Wine Estate.
It was a beautiful day, celebrated with their closest friends and family. Subsequently, as a result of Covid-19, many of their guests were unable to attend the wedding. Ultimately, the ceremony was live-streamed and recorded for the couple to hold on to forever. Meanwhile, even watching the wedding through the screen, their love poured through!
Ceremony
Kate & Greg’s Wedding ceremony took place on the immaculate lawn area at Nooitgedacht Wine Estate. A blush-coloured fabric arch was draped between two magnificent old oak trees. The guests were seated in three long curved rows, all having a clear view of the couple throughout the wedding ceremony. Each guest was given a glass marble to hold onto and place inside a vase at the end of the ceremony as a symbol of a special ring warming tradition.
In the end, after the sermon took place, guests tossed dried rose petal confetti over the happy couple. The photographer rounded up all the guests to take a group photo, after which the guests proceeded to head to the pre-dinner on the lawn area closer to the venue.
