Our wedding guests enjoyed many cocktails at the “watering hole”, where the branches of the Acacia karroo thorn trees were bending under the weight of weaver nests. During the African summer, the male weaver bird works industriously, weaving many nests until his female partner decides to accept one as a suitable home in which to raise a family. Just as weavers get busy building intricate grass nests for their chosen mates, so too did it feel like Jonathan was preparing for his marital home, and the Thanda Nests fabric is designed to memorialise this sentimental and homely scene.
