On Sunday we met Mam Fikile and Bab'Mlindeni who have been married for 37 years, having reached such a great milestone in thier marriage...they were looking to go big or go home! They had three items on their wishlist, the cake, the dress and the decor.
With the matrimonal taking place at Greenleaf Estate, the decor was taken care of by the inhouse team and their brief from the bride was elegant and timeless. They managed to move Mam Fikile to tears, after seeing the pink, white and gold decor with the specialised runner. The floral center piece was definitely added a majestic flair.
Mam Fikile's wedding dress was pearly white, with beaded embroidery. The dress was a slim fit with a mermaid tail, along with her white veil - she looked like a dream! This was particurlary symboliic for her as she hired her first wedding dress. She managed to transform to 10 years younger, Nomsa even gave her the 'slay queen' tittle! We agreed, she came to slay.
The wedding cake brief was simple, make it modern with a traditional element. This translated in the flavours used, with carrot and vanilla tiers at the top and the classic fruit cake at the bottom, The cake boasted frills for the traditional tier and smooth finishes for the top 'modern tiers.' The pastry chef Kuvandran added edible flowers to the beautiful cake.
The renewal of vows was a special occasion that ordained Mr and Mrs Madonda as Twitters #RelationshipGoals #MarriageGoals #BaeGoals! If you missed the episode catch the highlights here:
