Oyster Box Walima in Umhlanga: Mohammad & Zahra
I would like to welcome Mohammad and Zahra to our blog today! This couple held their Walima at The Oyster Box Hotel in Umhlanga, and it turned out beautifully, especially as I had a whole hour and a half with the couple!
A First Look and Garden Portraits
We started with Mohammad’s first look, then headed to the gardens for some family photos. We wandered the entire hotel and its surroundings to find great locations.
A Beautifully Planned Walima
Both families were wonderful, and Sue did a great job with the décor. Ginny was a great wedding planner, and everything went according to plan. When the speeches were shared, there was not a dry eye in the hall.
Thank you, Mohammad and Zahra, for allowing me to share such a great day with you!
