RETREAT FOR wedding creatives
SOUTH AFRICAN REPUBLIC |
MARCH 16-18, 2027
Welcome to the Concept Page
Here’s where our South African vision begins to take shape.

This page is dedicated to sharing the creative concept we would love to bring to life at La Cotte as part of our first South African Retreat. Together with Anika, founder of Papier Handmade, and our lead photographer Diana Vartanova, founder of Still Miracle and co-founder of Sparkling Moments, we envision creating a refined wedding editorial inspired by the beauty and character of La Cotte.

Our aim is to thoughtfully bring together fashion, florals, stationery, styling and photography to create a beautiful wedding story that feels fresh, elevated and true to the destination.
Below, we’re sharing the visual direction and ideas behind the experience we would love to create together.

The Concept
What will a wedding day at La Cotte look like?
At La Cotte, we plan to recreate a complete luxury wedding day, designed to feel and unfold like a real destination wedding.
Featuring one professional model couple, the experience will follow the full wedding story — from bridal and groom preparations, styled details and flatlays, to the ceremony, couple portraits, reception setting and golden-hour moments in the vineyards and gardens.
Through elevated fashion, florals, stationery and carefully curated styling, our vision is to create a fresh and inspiring interpretation of a luxury South African wedding, beautifully connected to the character of La Cotte and the Cape Winelands.
