Made for the daydreamers and true romantics at hea Made for the daydreamers and true romantics at heart who would love nothing more than to stroll through lush, manicured gardens as the birds and butterflies flutter around, our dreamy '𝑁𝑜𝑡𝑒𝑠 𝑑'𝐴𝑚𝑜𝑢𝑟' editorial brought the enchanting world of Bridgerton to life. 🌿🦋💕 Waltzing through an era where love letters and stolen glances were the truest expression of affection; hearts whispering sweet secrets, and the vulnerability of the moment captured on paper. Inspired by the phrase, "𝑆𝑜𝑚𝑒𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑜𝑙𝑑, 𝑠𝑜𝑚𝑒𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑛𝑒𝑤, 𝑠𝑜𝑚𝑒𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑏𝑜𝑟𝑟𝑜𝑤𝑒𝑑, 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑠𝑜𝑚𝑒𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑏𝑙𝑢𝑒," we embraced the timeless charm of tradition and the promise of the future ✨ The art of written expression continues to stand as one of life's most powerful instruments; a timeless keepsake to endure for all of time. A heart brimming with emotions, we transfer ink to paper. It's in these strokes that love stories are etched, dreams take tangible form, and the seeds of intentions and promises are sown. In this fleeting moment, we craft a precious heirloom that will endure through the sands of time. 🖋️📜 Join me in celebrating the magic of 𝑙𝑜𝑣𝑒 and the beauty of the written word. #weddingsbyblythe Planning, Styling & Coordination: @_byblythe_ Photography: @nicolenemeyerphotography Venue: @mooikrans Flowers: @wildleavesfloral Décor: @eventdesignshq_ Napery: @setthetablehire Furniture: @reservedexclusive Cake: @dirtypeach_cakeboutique Bridal Gown: @simone_couture Shoes: @lapaireshoes_official Jewellery: @stellamoissanite Make-up: @missymakeupartist Hair: @timelessmakeupartistry Stationery: @rabbitstrail Silk Ribbon: @jonesi_silkribbon #NotesdAmour #BridgertonInspired #RomanticDreams #RomanticRendezvous #LoveLetters #TimelessElegance #TimelessLove #microwedding #southafricanweddingplanner #elegantweddings #gardenweddinginspiration #tabletopdesign #weddingdaydetails #romanticbride #fineartbride #pursuepretty #truelovestory #romanticwedding #timelesswedding #ByBlytheEvents
Do you know what is more beautiful than a bride on Do you know what is more beautiful than a bride on her wedding day? A beautiful 𝘢𝘯𝘥 relaxed bride! One that is free of the stress that naturally comes with planning a wedding. On one of the most important days of your life, your happiness is of the utmost importance, and the goal is to remove any and all sources of stress before the day even begins! It's a delicate dance of planning and preparation; a task that often only a seasoned wedding planner can execute to perfection. When I founded By Blythe Events, my dream was to craft classic, timeless, and unforgettable celebrations for today’s modern couple. And while that dream remains steadfast, at its very core, my purpose is beautifully simple – to ensure that my couples are happy and stress-free so that they can truly enjoy their season of engagement and their wedding day to the fullest!  #WeddingsByBlythe Planning & Coordination: @_byblythe_ Concept & Creative Direction: @_byblythe_ and @wildleavesfloral Flowers, Decor, Styling: @wildleavesfloral @wildleaves_thecollection Venue: @houghton.1938 Photography: @marniolivier_photography Bridal Gown: @theweddingcollectivesa Bridal Veil: @mrsrose_official Bridal Shoes: @vonve_shoes Jewellery: @miinella_jewellery_design Hair & Make-up: @canvas_makeup_artistry
I am often asked, “what is it about weddings tha I am often asked, “what is it about weddings that you love so much?” For me, it’s an absolute 𝘫𝘰𝘺 to build an entirely immersive experience centered around the couple from the ground up – every detail resonates with who they are, what they love, and tells their story in a way that only those who know them will understand. To an outsider, the wedding is a beautiful, romantic design. But to the couple, their wedding party, parents, and guests; everything feels so much more intimate and otherworldly because they recognize the couple in the design and how it tells their unique story. My couples are always at the heart of what I do, and I am so honoured to be part of your journey! #weddingsbyblythe Planning & Coordination: @_byblythe_ Concept & Creative Direction: @_byblythe_ and @wildleavesfloral Flowers & Décor: @wildleavesfloral Venue: @houghton.1938 Photography: @marniolivier_photography Catering: @olives_and_plates Furniture: @reservedexclusive Stationery: @jp____design Napery: @setthetablehire Fine Art Ribbon: @jonesi_silkribbon Flatlay Boards: @flatlaystudio.co.za Clay Tags: @theclaytag Confection: @kellyjaynecakes Macarons: @aimeelloyd_macarons Bridal Gown: @theweddingcollectivesa Bridal Robes and Bridesmaids Dresses: @mrsrose_official Groom's Suit: @zedmen_weddings Bridal Shoes: @vonve_shoes Jewellery: @miinella_jewellery_design Hair & Make-up: @canvas_makeup_artistry Live Painter: @k_bareuther Violinist: @adriana.naudescholtz @nastassjaras @brnrd.lb #intimateweddingplanner #microwedding #letselope #elegantweddings #gardenweddinginspiration #bespokewedding #weddingdaydetails #theprettyblog #romanticbride #fineartbride #pursuepretty #truelovestory #romanticwedding #timelesswedding #classicwedding #theperfectpalette #runawayromance #southafricanweddingplanner #weddingplannerjohannesburg #weddingplannercapetown #capturethemagic #simplyelegant #ByBlytheEvents

It is a dream come true to have our 𝘔𝘪𝘭𝘬 & 𝘏𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘺 editorial featured internationally on @thewhitewren Tenderness, poetic detail, and an ode to beauty form a romantic unity in this enchanting vignette. Our aim was to create something exceptionally delicate, feminine, romantic, and ethereal in style. The idea that something so stunningly beautiful can at the same time feel both effortless and unspoken is awe-inspiring! That was our goal: to create a garden-inspired look that embodied the effortlessly romantic nature of a lush garden while incorporating a touch of modern elegance. The all-white colour palette, no lace gown, and modern tablescape all came together seamlessly - bringing our vision for a modern, garden-inspired wedding to life. Our colour palette was inspired by the beauty of the spring season, blooming trees, and flowers that exude a sense of freshness. In addition to the enchanting floral masterpieces, it was the bride herself who was seen as artwork and as the epitome of perfection. For me, this vignette celebrates the themes of patience, stillness, and new chapters in life. These concepts are so poignant for me currently, but are also key for couples embarking on a new season in their lives. Creating a juxtaposition between old and new, modern and romantic depicts that timeless beauty never fades – perfectly blending the romance of garden weddings, with a touch of modern elegance!
