Wedding : Shona + Lourens

As I described in their teaser post, Shona and Lourens are two of the most unique and awesome people I’ve meet. Their wedding was fit for a Rockstar and Princess…totally outrageous ![]()
The wedding took place at the wonderful Le Franschhoek Hotel and Spa and was attended by friends and family from Scotland, England and South Africa. The theme of course was Scottish, so it was all about kilts and bagpipes with a purple colour theme.
Shona wore an amazing Vera Wang dress and shoes from Harrods (in London) and had them personalised with Swarovski crystals. Her hair and makeup was done by her totally rad friend, Tito.
Lourens spent a lot of time and effort making this wedding unforgettable; He designed their rings, the wedding cake, the skull wedding pieces, personalised Nike iD sneakers…he even sang the Johnny Cash hit “Ring of Fire” to Shona (I’m a huge Johnny Cash fan)!
Other highlights of the day was:
- The bridal party walking down the isle to a rock version of Amazing Grace (Bag pipes + electric guitar = AWESOME!)!
- A whole table of jars filled with assorted sweets!
- A rock band!
- Custom graffiti’d groomsmen shirts.
- Rock music allll-night-looong!
- Some music and singing from Lourens’s family!
