Planning a wedding is not just about the venue, vows, and food. Before you walk down the aisle, the bride-to-be has to get a few things together before she ties the knot.
Get It collaborated with a few vendors in Bloemfontein to put together a pre-wedding checklist for the essentials every bride should have by her side just hours before the ceremony.
The venue: Pepper Tree
Pepper Tree offers a Chapel with a panoramic north facing window which is a backdrop for a wedding ceremony and the perfect venue for the bride to get ready for her big day. Situated north-west of Bloemfontein, Pepper Tree offers a modern guesthouse with seven en-suite double rooms that are situated in an established garden. Contact 064 709 6274 to find out about packages they have to offer.

The perfume: Marc Jacobs Daisy
Delicate and dreamy, Marc Jacobs Daisy is the perfect scent for a bride – fresh wild berries and soft white violets open into a heart of jasmine, resting on a warm sandalwood base. Romantic, radiant, and effortlessly feminine, it’s a fragrance as unforgettable as the big day. R2,095 from DisChem, Northridge Mall.
The shoes: Vincentia-r Crystal stiletto
She’s not just walking down the aisle – she’s making an entrance. Vincentia brings show-stopping shimmer and a killer stiletto for the bride who owns the spotlight. R1,899 from Steve Madden.
The flowers: Africa Flowers
A bouquet is more than just flowers it’s a message. This elegant bouquet features a classic arrangement of ivory white roses, complemented by delicate sprigs of baby’s breath and soft eucalyptus greenery. It is available at Africa Flowers in Willows. Ranging from R650 per bouquet, the crisp white tones create a clean, sophisticated look perfect for weddings, anniversaries, or timeless romantic gestures.
