A floral explosion in the heart of Franschoek

Amy and Stru’s wedding at La Cotte was a celebration bursting with joy, color, and life—all while holding onto a thread of timeless bridal elegance.

Planned by the ever-talented Kraak, the day flowed seamlessly, balancing playful vibrancy with classic romance. Fleur le Cordier’s floral designs brought the spaces alive—bold, bright arrangements that felt modern yet refined, perfectly echoing the couple’s energy.

Set against Franschhoek’s vineyards and mountain views, La Cotte’s charm made the ideal backdrop. From laughter-filled moments to the quiet elegance of Amy’s bridal look, it was a day that felt both full of life and beautifully timeless.

Getting Ready


The morning unfolded in two very different, equally special ways. Amy got ready surrounded by her closest ladies, with D&M agency creating her timeless hair and makeup look. Between final touches and sweet moments with the flower girls, the room was filled with laughter, excitement, and a touch of calm before the big reveal.

Meanwhile, Stru and the guys enjoyed a relaxed start to the day with lunch by the pool—easy conversation, good food, and the kind of carefree energy that set the tone for everything still to come.
