Emily & Ryan’s elegant and timeless wedding at Casa Labia in Muizenberg was held on 7th January 2023. From the venue’s regal ambiance to the carefully curated details, this celebration epitomized natural sophistication and laid back charm.
The Essence of Classical Romance

The colour palette consisted of soft natural tones, featuring cream, white, and green hues, perfectly complementing Casa Labia’s ornate style. Vintage elements tied in seamlessly with the venue’s regal ambiance, creating a romantic and traditional atmosphere.
A Laid Back Cocktail Affair
During the cocktail-style reception, guests mingled and reveled in the romantic atmosphere while enjoying delectable canapés and bowl foods served by attentive waiters. Classic and simple decor enhanced the venue’s beauty without overshadowing it, including the choice of white and light furniture for a neutral touch.
Floral Splendor and Romantic Lighting
Exquisite floral arrangements, featuring shades of cream and white roses, hydrangeas, amaryllis, and dahlias, with touches of greenery adorned the venue. Beautiful lighting, including fairy lights and chandeliers, transformed the venue into a romantic haven. Floating candles clustered around the venue contributed to the romantic setting.
Classic Stationery and Traditional Touches
The stationery added to the classic and romantic theme, incorporating wax seals for a traditional touch. Each element, from ceremony programs to welcome signs, contributed to the overall theme of the wedding.
The Ceremony’s Classic Charm
Soft prelude music played while guests arrived. White Tiffany chairs lined the aisle, and parasols and posies added a touch of classic charm. The luscious white floral arrangements framed the couple while they said their vows. After the ceremony, guests showered the newlyweds with cream rose petal confetti.
Pre-Dinner Elegance
Guests were welcomed with arrival cocktails and a gin bar. While waiters roamed with canapés, and the bride and groom enjoyed their couple’s photoshoot, guests were entertained with upbeat music, a spectacular view of the ocean and lawn games.
Reception Bliss
Guests entered the reception area after sunset, where cocktail furniture set the stage for an elegant affair. The tiered white wedding cake formed a focal point.
