So, you’re getting married in Johannesburg? Eeeeek! First of all, congratulations. Second—let’s talk decor. Because let’s be honest: even if you’ve got the perfect venue, the right flowers, textures, lights, and linens are what turn “just nice” into “drop-dead gorgeous.”
Johannesburg isn’t just South Africa’s bustling heart of business and culture—it’s also a playground for creative wedding visionaries. Whether you’re after a romantic garden fantasy, a sleek modern affair, or something totally offbeat (disco balls and pampas grass, anyone?), Jozi’s got decor suppliers to make your Pinterest board jealous.
Below, I’ve handpicked some of the city’s most sought-after wedding decor suppliers, peppered with helpful tips, mini-stories, and real talk.
SA Wedding Décor – Where Vision Meets Vavavoom 💫
SA Wedding Décor in Lanseria is a dream for couples who want a “wow” wedding without blowing the whole honeymoon budget. Their event stylists have that magical knack for listening to your actual vision—and not turning it into something that screams “bridal expo 2009.” From elegant charger plates to full-blown stage design, their range is wide, wonderful, and well-curated.
Insider Tip: Ask for their “mock table setup”—it’s like a mini dress rehearsal for your décor!
Home in 1 – For the Stylish, the Practical & the Pinterest-Obsessed 🎀
Need 200 ghost chairs? Banquet tables for your white-on-white affair? Home in 1 is a wholesale supplier with style. Their selection of chairs (Tiffany, Wimbledon, Phoenix—you name it) and event furniture is massive. Bonus: you can get restaurant-grade quality at fair prices.
You don’t have to know the difference between acrylic and Chiavari, just bring your vision—and maybe a mood board—and they’ll help translate it into reality.
Décor Trends – Handmade Elegance with a Dash of Drama 🕊️
What happens when artisans meet florals, ceramics, and candlelight? Magic. Décor Trends specializes in handcrafted decor items that add that “boutique editorial” feel to your wedding. Think vintage urns, metallic underplates, and glass candle holders that flicker like they belong in a perfume ad.
They’re also trend-watchers: if there’s a new decor wave sweeping the international wedding scene, they’re already on it.
Hashtag South Africa – Where Stationery Becomes Keepsakes 💌
Okay, let’s not forget the details—menus, signage, cute little thank-you notes. Hashtag South Africa (yes, that’s the real name) creates wedding stationery that’s both Insta-worthy and heirloom material. You’ll find favors, groomsmen gifts, and all the paper goods to tie your theme together.
Pro tip: Get matching table numbers and name tags to keep the flow clean and cohesive.
