My Special Day

Rosemary Hill’s distinctive attention to detail provide a stylish event in farm-style surroundings. Our wedding were a very unique blend of rustic, combined with elegance.
Me and my bridesmaids hair and make-up were done by a professional hair dresser and our makeup were done by my niece and a good friend.
I had my dress designed at claris by Gerrit Pienaar.

The Venue

Our wedding were held at the Rosemary Hill farm situated on beautiful farmland just east of Pretoria. It is an organic working farm and has been in operation since 1978. From cultivating seedlings and planting veggies to distilling essential oils, this farm is truly unique in what it has to offer. The herd of Nguni cattle is always nearby to add a beautiful splash of colour to the landscape.

Our close friends stayed in the Farmhouse were the reception were held.
