A Gauteng summer wedding is one of the most beautiful settings a florist can work in. The light is golden and dramatic. The landscapes shift from lush greens after afternoon storms to warm dry gold by late January. Getting your colour palette right isn’t just about aesthetics — it’s about choosing something that feels completely true to you, and that works with everything around it.
After years of designing weddings across Hartbeespoortdam, Pretoria, and the broader Gauteng region, these are the palettes that consistently stop people mid-scroll.

Regardless of palette, Gauteng’s summer heat means setup timing matters. Outdoor florals go in as close to ceremony time as possible, and everything stays refrigerated until then. Afternoon storms are real — we always plan for them.
The best palette isn’t the one that’s trending. It’s the one that feels like you.
