Bruidsgids Cover: A Special Moment

For decades, Bruidsgids has been a name synonymous with elegance, inspiration, and South African weddings. For many brides, it’s the first gift they receive after their engagement — and certainly one I’ve always treasured myself. That’s why it was such an honour to be invited to contribute to the 2025 cover shoot.

The magazine is truly one of the country’s most iconic bridal publications. It celebrates creativity and the joy of wedding planning. Being included in this year’s edition was a special moment in our journey. How wonderful it is to be part of an industry that brings people together around love, beauty, and one of life's most meaningful moments.

A heartfelt thank you to the incredible team who brought this vision to life so beautifully. Bruidsgids represents more than just a collection of beautiful ideas. It’s a legacy of creative entrepreneurship and a reminder that with heart, vision, and care, meaningful work can flourish.

The 2025 edition is still on shelves nationwide, filled with inspiration for your special day.
