Pretty in Stains is a Cape Town–based wedding planner studio, specialising in destination and local wedding planning, floral and decor design, and wedding stationery.
We work with international couples as a destination wedding planner in South Africa, while also collaborating with local couples. For those planning from abroad, we act as both guide and anchor — navigating distance, logistics, and local nuance with care, so that every step feels informed and steady.
We create celebrations for couples who value presence over perfection — who understand that true luxury lies in ease, intention, and emotional depth. While aesthetics are thoughtfully considered, they never overshadow the purpose of the day: two people choosing each other, surrounded by those who matter most.
Established in 2011, we bring over a decade of experience in planning weddings across Cape Town and the Winelands.
At the heart of our work is the belief that a wedding is not a performance, but a moment of genuine personal significance.
Our approach is calm and quietly assured — translating vision into structure, complexity into clarity, and ideas into meaningful, well-executed experiences.
Our Services
Pretty in Stains offers a considered range of creative and planning services for weddings and events. Each service is approached independently, allowing couples and collaborators to engage the studio where it best serves their needs.
Wedding Planning
& Coordination
Wedding planning and coordination through Pretty in Stains is offered to couples seeking calm guidance and structured support, where we first establish a clear foundation for the vision before curating a supplier team aligned to it.
Floral Design
& Décor Styling
The studio develops floral concepts that support the overall mood of the celebration, enhancing spaces through considered placement, natural movement and thoughtful scale. From personal flowers and table arrangements to larger installations, florals feel integrated rather than imposed.
Stationery Design Services
Each piece is approached as a tactile extension of the celebration by means of paper choice, typography, and colour. From invitations through to day-of paper goods, stationery is designed with cohesion and restraint, allowing detail to feel intentional.
