The couple, who have been together for five years, tied the knot during a white wedding ceremony two years ago. Nono first met with the couple in July to start wedding discussions, and it took the team two weeks to plan ahead of the big-day.

About working with the couple, Nono says: “They are very calm and welcoming. Baby is always happy and cheerful while Thabo has a type B personality, this combination made the working relationship easy. Nono added touches of black to mirror “sophistication and elegance,” which reflected Thabo’s personality. “The colour white is considered to be the colour of perfection, this matched well with Baby,” she added.

The colours complimented the couple’s theme, which they described as: “elegance in a traditional setting.” In keeping with the theme of the ceremony, which took place at Virginia Airport, Baby and Thabo arrived by helicopter. A popular choice from newlyweds in recent times, according to Nono.

Nono’s favourite element on the day was the head table. She says: “This plays a major role in the look and feel of the reception. We always try to make it as unique as possible for every couple.” And Nono’s favourite part of the day? Witnessing the couple enter the venue for the first time. “The look on their faces was valued,” she says.
