Kelly & Jaco’s Romantic Wedding at Cradle Valley | Gauteng Wedding Décor & Florals by Criore Wedding & Events
When it comes to romantic weddings in Gauteng, Kelly and Jaco’s celebration at Cradle Valley was pure perfection.
With soft candlelight, cascading fairy lights, and lush floral arrangements, their special day captured everything we love about modern, timeless wedding styling.
A Dreamy Wedding at Cradle Valley
Nestled in the heart of the Cradle of Humankind, Cradle Valley Wedding Venue offers one of the most breathtaking backdrops for couples who love natural beauty and warm, intimate atmospheres. Kelly and Jaco’s wedding day was filled with golden tones, greenery, and soft textures that made the entire venue glow.
The couple exchanged vows beneath the open wooden chapel, framed by romantic floral installations of greenery, white, peach, and burnt orange blooms — perfectly designed to blend with the scenic mountain view behind them.
Warm Tones, Romantic Lighting & Lush Florals
Inside the reception, the space was transformed into a magical wonderland of fairy lights and florals. Each long wooden table featured:
* Soft chiffon runners
* Crystal glassware and gold cutlery
* Rustic woven placemats
* Candlelit ambiance for that perfect evening glow
The floral designs combined white and cream roses, peach carnations, orange roses, eucalyptus, and pampas grass — a balance between boho romance and modern elegance.
The Bride & Bridal Party
Kelly looked absolutely radiant in her fitted lace gown, carrying a bouquet that mirrored the warmth of the décor — soft ivory, nude, and coral tones tied together with flowing ribbons. Her bridesmaids, dressed in deep sage green gowns, completed the colour story beautifully, creating a natural and earthy harmony throughout the day.
Magical Moments That Last Forever
As the evening unfolded, the entire venue shimmered beneath layers of soft lighting. Guests enjoyed heartfelt speeches, laughter, and joyful dancing surrounded by the cozy, inviting atmosphere that only Cradle Valley can provide.
Kelly and Jaco’s wedding was a true reflection of love, family, and faith — brought to life through thoughtful design, detailed floristry, and the signature Criore touch.
