💡 Rooftop Wedding Tips — From Someone Who’s Been Up There
-
Timing is everything: Golden hour is chef’s kiss for ceremonies.
-
Plan for weather: Jozi can switch moods quickly. Ask venues about rain plans or shaded areas.
-
Sound & light check: City noise is real — invest in good mics. And lighting? Make it dreamy.
-
Keep it comfy: Heels + rooftop tiles = disaster. Consider flats or bring backups!
-
Minimalist décor wins: Let that skyline shine. Less is definitely more up here.
