Celebrity Wedding of Dewald and Anel Wasserfall

Thank-you to all eager brides and grooms that were looking at Glitterati on Kyknet, week by week, looking out for the celebrity wedding of Dewald and Anel. As you probably saw on the Kyknet insert that was aired - their wedding was supposed to have been screened but due to technical errors (they deleted it by mistake) it was not aired. Dewald and Anel said we could show you some of their photos of their special day! Thanks Dewald and Anel! The two of you were an absolutely awesome couple! Thanks to Traudi Riegger, from Wedding Memories for the lovely photos. http://www.weddingmemories.co.za/

Dewald's Album - "Asem In" is quickly climbing the Afrikaans treffers. Well done guys! To find out more about Dewald and his band - go look at their website http://www.wasserfall-band.co.za/  and join him on Facebook to see him live at one of his shows.  Dewald also writes lyrics for many artists, and you can see why he is so popular, if you listen to the beautiful words in their album, "Asem In". 

Well, on their wedding day, Dewald made sure that the focus was not on him, but on his very special beautifully radiant bride, Anel!  Anel knew exactly what she wanted for their dream day, and together with Kobus they conceptualised the fairytale.




Their colour scheme was black and dusty pink, with dusty pink beads and crystals. With this the theme of branches or 'takke' was brought in with the dusty pink ribbon and lights that lit up the 'takke' on the tables. In the Chapel, 'takke' with soft dusty pink organza ribbons, roses and crystals were hung from the beams of the Chapel's ceilings.



The cake was cut in the garden, and afterwards the guests were served canapes, whilst the couple took photos. The wedding cake were dusty pink cupcakes in beautiful white knitted doiley cups.



Inside the napkins were seed pods with a dusty pink bead that was specially made by Anel and family for the special day. This tied in with the 'takke' theme, and was a stunning finish touch for the tables.

Some of the distinguished guests, included celebrities such as the music group, Eden, Theuns Jordaan,  one of the Kolesky Broers....



...and they danced the night away...

The hand bouquet was made by the talented bride and her mom - an absolutely beautiful crystal beaded bouquet...

Thank-you Dewald and Anel for allowing us the priviledge to share in this very special - beautiful fairytale day where you celebrated your love story! You are a very special couple - may your love for each other be an example for others. The Casablanca Team.
