Keegan & Johan’s Lythwood Lodge wedding

Keegan and Johan Bester got married at Lythwood Lodge. Their wedding was a beautiful #BestFest with a super casual reception set up, food stalls, a “best-woman”, a “last dance” with dad before walking down the aisle, super fun bridal party and the most gorgeous bride with the biggest smile! It was a cold and windy day but as they said their I do’s under a beautiful tree outside the sun came out.

The night before the wedding the most amazing thing happened! Keegan and her girls found out that 4 bridesmaids dresses were 3 sizes to big and ran to reception in a panic, trying to find a seemstress that could help them alter the dresses. Sbonelo Madlala happened to be on duty as the receptionist and although he works at reception during the day, he actually is a fashion designer by trade. At 20:30 the night before the wedding, in a freezing cold Midlands, Sbonelo made his way down to the girls with his sewing machine in hand and altered the dresses for them beautifully! Well done Sbonelo, you truly saved the day! #bettertogether
