LUXE CULTURE by idoghana Spring/Summer | Page 150

Another cross Atlantic love affair makes its début with this wedding – and what a vivid one too! The international couple, Malika & Wamkele, decided on a destination wedding in Cape Town to truly seal the deal! With the tropical beauty, Malika being from the Caribbean islands and Wamkele being from South Africa, this guest list promised to be a cross-Atlantic celebration of note! They wanted their guests to experience genuine luxury and quality – and of course the expert Wedding Concepts Team ensured their vision would be materialized to perfection! Three key elements that would contribute to the success of the wedding were also foreign. Flown in directly from the Caribbean for the St Lucians – Chairmans Reserve rum. Flown in exclusively for those with a refined palate – French Champagne. And finally, the single and most important element that could make or break their party – the music. Two DJ’s were flown into Cape Town; DJ Luthando Tibini from Johannesburg and trendy DJ Shortman from New York. With all the details in place, Malika and Wamkele’s cross-Atlantic celebration started from the moment guests arrived on the estate. After the ceremony, guests broke out into spontaneous song and dance – and that continued straight through to the colourful reception! Shades of purple and violet dominated the Wedding Concepts designer décor and beautiful hydrangeas added vivid colour to the venue. Towering arrangements and submerged orchids were illuminated once the sun set by strategically placed lighting concepts that really brought the tablescapes to life. (written by wedding concepts)
