Taryn & Jaryd Scher Real Wedding

When did your love story begin?

8 years ago we spotted each other outside our Synagogue…. The very next evening we met at The Reserve Night Club in Cape Town.

Tell us about the proposal

I had just landed back from a gorgeous trip to Bodrum with my girlfriends. Upon arrival home there were rose petals everywhere, champagne, a cheese platter and our cats sitting with some ribbon around them! I knew once I opened the door what was coming. We celebrated the next day at the Bulgari Hotel in Dubai. Jaryd bought me the most magnificent pear shape diamond ring!

How did you find the planning process? Did you make use of SA Weddings.co.za?

I booked Tracy from Trunk Events around 1 year before the actual wedding date. So, planning with her and her amazing team made it easier. I definitely did use SA weddings while I was searching for venues. It was stressful at times planning the wedding in SA and living in Dubai so I ensured I visited CT at least 3 x to confirm everything before the actual date.

Where did you draw your planning inspiration from?

I work in retail so I am fortunate to be able to travel a lot and am surrounded by gorgeous colour palettes and loads of inspiration. I used this combined with of Pintrest pictures and magazine articles to plan accordingly.

What was the most memorable and special part of your wedding day?

The Bedekken – which is the Jewish tradition of the groom coming to meet his bride after not seeing each other for 7 days. Also being surrounded by friends and family from all over the world.

What was your wedding theme (if you had one) and why did you choose it?

I started with the venue – Moreson Wine Farm. It has the most magnificent garden and I wanted to enhance that with colour palette of navy, rust, gold and creams. I don’t really like rustic so made sure to have unique elements of gold.

What was the inspiration behind your wedding dress as well as the bridesmaids' dresses?

I was inspired by a wedding dress by Lebanese designer Saiid Kobeisy and re designed it with a few amendments. I also wanted an ivory gown with unique details. My bridesmaids could select what suited them as long as they stuck to the palette of navy, cream or rich rust. We co -ordinated this well having everyone all over the world.

Your décor and flowers: Do you have a specific reason why you chose what you did?

I loved the idea of having a unique colour palette. I selected all the hanging flowers from a market in china and shipped them in. I also wanted to have blue and white vases to bring in the navy element along with gold highlights. The hanging bulbs and hanging flowers were always on the original plan.

Did you incorporate any DIY items?

I shipped in scarves from India, Kippot from Miami and Flip Flops. I also brought in fabric to wrap our little bread rolls. (we also use this fabric for the Chuppah) But did not make anything ourselves.

What song did you choose for your opening dance and why?

Jess Glynne “Take me Home” The words have deep meaning for Jaryd and I. As we moved to Dubai 4 years ago, it has been tough but we have always leaned one another.

What is your favourite, will-never-forget memory of your big day?

Standing under the chuppah with Hebrew songs being sung with my family and friends surrounding us in the most gorgeous garden was most special. Also our first dance which we went for many lessons in Dubai – worked out perfectly. Jaryd’s speech was exceptional – he surprised us all!

Any advice for other brides-to-be/grooms-to-be who are busy planning their big day?

Get a wedding planner and start planning way in advance so once you get to the date most things are paid for. I found paying for something every month leading up to the wedding really helped. On the day everything goes by so fast – take it all in and enjoy every minute!

Did you go on honeymoon and if so, where did you go?

We are probably going to do a road trip from San Fran to LA or go to Turks and Caicos. We have been very fortunate that we have been to so many amazing places already together.
