If there's one motif that has quietly been making it's way into South African weddings recently, it's cows. Yep, cows. We love 'em, and considering our African roots, maybe that's not surprising. What's very cool is that our brides and grooms have shown how a motif like this can be incorporated in a classy way, and never more so than in today's 'organic, white and candlelight' wedding from the lovely Carmen Roberts. Lauren and Andrew were married at the beautiful Netherwood in the Midlands (so the cows were super appropriate to their farm venue) and created a sweet motif that was branded on to the boards at each place setting - cows also popped up in the cake toppers, in signs and table plans, and even in the table names. The rest of the wedding design was classic, white and natural - clouds of baby's breath and succulents, dapper bow-tied groomsmen and a bride in a beautiful long-sleeve lace dress. It's everything a winter bride could dream of.
