Michelle and Ed’s wedding – KwaLapa, Newlands

Michelle and Edward got married at a little church near Kirstenbosch gardens, and had their afternoon reception at KwaLapa at Montebello Design Centre . KwaLapa ( ‘telling the stories of food)’ is an organic restaurant/ deli tucked away in Newlands Avenue, just around the corner from Kirstenbosch Gardens. It is a real gem of a place – the type of place you want to keep secret, but at the same time, tell the world about! What I found so special about KwaLapa, is that it’s in a bedouin tent, and In the middle of it is a massive ficus tree – so the restaurant is actually built around the tree!. Surrounding KwaLapa there is a close knit community of people who make jewellery, wooden hand carvings, stunning African paintings…and then tucked away at the back is a little nursery jam-packed with quaint little finds for a garden. Some of Michelle and Ed’s guests flew in from the UK and enjoyed the sunshine in one of the most beautiful areas in Cape Town. Thanks Michelle and Ed for your patience with this blog update during this busy wedding season!
