Darling! That’s the only word I’ve got for this shoot. That should come as no surprise, I suppose, since it debuted in designer Beth Helmstetter’s new online magazine, Darling! The minute I saw it I knew we had to feature it — there’s something so Southern about the clean lines, soft patterns, and vintage touches (and, of course, the peaches and magnolias!). Beth was gracious enough to lend us the photographs, taken by the talented Steve Steinhardt. Hannah Bergman directed this lovely shoot, including blooms by Holly Flora, a cake by Susiecakes, china from Z Gallerie, glassware from West Elm, and calligraphy by Laura Hooper. To see all of Beth’s tips for pulling together a look like this on your wedding day, be sure to check out the first issue of Darling!

We have one last treat for all of y’all that loved Christine + Iaan’s wedding this morning! (If you missed it, click here and here!)
Whew! So gorgeous and fun, right? Christine, who is apparently a talented graphic designer as well as photographer, laid out the whole thing herself, then printed them on her Canon printer. A friend helped her score and fold each piece. As she says, “It was quite a job, but they turned out really well!” I’ll say!
Be sure to check out more of Christine’s work and inspirations on her blog here!
P.S. The “uiteindelik” in the URL means FINALLY!

Today we bring you the wedding of Christine + Iaan, or, as I like to call it, the Freaking Adorable Wedding of Two Freaking Adorable People. Seriously: could they BE any cuter? I think not. The giant proteas that Christine loves so much make a fabulous style statement in this wedding — no big surprise, since Christine is an extremely talented photographer and blogger with a great eye. These two South African lovebirds got married at Kleinevalleij in a gorgeous outdoor ceremony with the bride in a beautiful gown by Lace Blossom and heels by Stuart Weitzman. I’m always interested to see who wedding photographers choose to shoot their own weddings, and think Christine made an amazing choice in Julie Lim! We’ll be back with more soon!
Describe the proposal. Iaan and I traveled to Germany to shoot a wedding and also combined it with a bit of holiday. It was our last day in Münich when he suggested we have an ice cream later in the afternoon before we fly back, as we both LOVE ice cream and found a yummy little store close to our hotel. I didn’t suspect anything. We went to the ice cream store and past us walked a photographer, I recognized his cool gear and showed Iaan, but he quickly changed the topic. I didn’t think much about it. We then bought some ice cream and headed to a little area in the mid of Münich. Meanwhile there were two photographers following us all the way from the hotel and they captured the whole thing! Apart from getting engaged, this was totally AWESOME! We sat on a little bench, had some ice cream and then Iaan pulled out my iPad. He had been working on a slideshow without me even knowing! He showed me the slideshow and straight after he said he wanted to spend the rest of his life with me. We both cried and then it was smiles all the way!
Three adjectives that describe the day are: Stylish, funky and festive.
Our favorite detail of the wedding was: The bunting.
Tell us about finding your wedding dress: I’ve always been in love with Vera Wang. We took a lot of inspiration from her range and a good friend of mine made the dress for me. From the moment I saw the design, I was in love with it! It was a replica of my personality – modern and classic all in the same dress.
Describe your wedding flowers: I had peonies for a bouquet and we had different bunches of flowers on the tables in small vases. The colors were all pink and turquoise.

Oh my! This is all just soooo to-die-for! I can’t help but think of my much-loved Pretty in Peach Barbie from when I was a kid. I thought she was the most beautiful thing in the world! ;)
Love the idea of “real” chairs outside! Looks quite lovely altogether.

Love this, it is just so feminine.
Everything looks so perfect! From the the color coordination , decorations, table setting and even the mood. It’s like everything blend in.
This shoot is so light and sweet! I love the idea of a single bloom tied at each place setting!
