Real Rustic Autumn Wedding: Lindsey & Hayley

Succulents, lace and pink helium balloons are the recipe for a perfect wedding. Throw in an incredible South African venue and the autumnal turning of the leaves, and I'm in wedding heaven! Lindsey and Hayley celebrated their wedding in the South African countryside, saying their vows surrounded on all four sides by nature. I'm loving Hayley's exquisite feathered dress, fun Vivienne Westwood heart shoes {cheap but oh-so chic}, and the little fur stole to keep her cosy during her vows. Other fabulous wedding details include the pink table stationery {Eat, Drink and Be Married!} and mirrored table displays. I love how they covered succulents with bell vases, and put proteas in birdcages. Each table feels like a feminine dressing table - such a romantic theme for a wedding. If you'd like a similar ceramic ring-bearing bowl, you can buy them from Paloma's Nest, a US designer who's cornered the market on heirlooms of the future.

Real Blue & White Baby's Breath Wedding: Mireille & Johnny

It's the baby's breath that makes this real wedding one of my favourites. I'm planning to buy clouds and clouds of it for my own wedding, as it's a great way to create a dramatic look without breaking the bank. Johnny and Mireille celebrated their big day in the summer sunshine of South Africa, in their hometown of Pretoria. I'm totally thrilled by Mireille's stunning short wedding dress and flat ballet pumps - I love a bride who combines chic with comfort. The happy couple chose a simple blue and white gingham as their signature colour, and used it to fantastic effect on their jam-pot favours. It's often the simple colour palette ideas that are most effective; stripes, spots or floral - if you pick one and carry it throughout the wedding details, it creates a very 'together' look.

Real Breezy Beach Wedding: Ingrid & Pieter

This gorgeous beach wedding is going to make you long for summer days. There's nothing more romantic than walking down an aisle of sand, with the sea-breeze in your hair, and a delicious celebratory wedding BBQ. Pieter and Ingrid chose an intimate wedding, with only their very nearest and dearest, plus plenty of gorgeous personalised details. I'm loving how they wrote their names in pebbles on the sand - definitely something you could replicate with rose petals on a lawn. Other wedding ideas to steal include the streamer confetti, Ingrid's flower crown, the handmade Japanese cranes and the hanging single-bloom bottles. Many of the decorations were DIY, and Ingrid's gorgeous wedding gown was made by none other than her own super mum! Simply stunning photographs published with thanks to We Love Pictures.

Real Yellow-Themed Wedding: Lesego & Lize

This gorgeous garden wedding is bursting with personality. It shows exactly how you can combine your own quirky characters into a wedding that truly celebrates who you are as people. Lesego & Lize tied the knot on a beautiful farm on the outskirts of Johannesburg surrounded by their awesome families and lots of colour, love and joy! The happy couple chose sunny yellow as their theme colour, and added plenty of DIY wedding details. I'm loving the lanterns, the ushers ties, the hay bales, the white ceramic vases and the stunning grey and yellow wedding stationery. As a wonderful memory-maker, Lesego and Lize asked their guests to sign a quilt - such a clever idea, and a wonderful record of a beautiful day. Huge thanks to We Love Pictures for these gorgeous detail-filled photographs.
