Miss World 2014, Rolene Strauss, tied the knot on Saturday (6 February 16) at a lavish ceremony held at Lourensford Estate in the Western Cape. The South African beauty announced last year in July that her longtime partner, D’Niel Strauss, popped the question.
The 23-year-old shared a photo from her special day on Facebook and wrote: “To everything there is a season and a time to every purpose under the heaven. Ecclesiastes 3:1.This is our time...”
Rolene’s wedding dress was designed by her friend and local designer, Casper Bosman.
The couple was engaged in December 2014 and commenced with the wedding preparations immediately. It was vital that the couple appointed a professional team to ensure that Rolene’s dream day becomes a reality whilst travelling as the reigning Miss World. And the dream team was none other than South African wedding doyen, Aleit Swanepoel, Founder and Chairman of the Aleit Group.
It was dream come true for Aleit, who has followed the beauty pageant for many years and Rolene in particular, since becoming Miss South Africa. Aleit recalls, “I will never forget that moment when Julia Morley announced second and first princess. We were all holding our breath before she uttered (which felt like a great drum roll), South Africa!”
The team from Aleit Wedding Coordination, made Rolene’s fairy tale wedding come true. Only the best service professionals were approached to form a part of the greater wedding planning team, consisting of industry leaders.
Since the couple had busier schedules than most, they were treated like overseas clients. In between her busy Miss World schedule, they had the opportunity to visit the venue on few occasions to meet the respective team. There was a full menu tasting and an extravagant flower and table mock-up where Rolene could choose her glassware, cutlery, crockery and luxurious linen for her special day.
