An outdoor ceremony in Gauteng in February is warm, and a bottle of water on each chair is the practical courtesy every guest quietly appreciates. Putting your names on it turns a necessity into part of the styling, and it photographs well, which is where most of the value is.
We bottle mineral infused reverse osmosis water in Pretoria and print your design onto the label. Still or sparkling, 330 ml, 500 ml or 5 L, from 144 bottles, delivered across Gauteng in 1 to 4 business days.
Where the bottles go
The ceremony
One on each chair, or in a tub at the entrance. 330 ml suits a ceremony where nobody wants to be carrying a half-finished bottle down the aisle; 500 ml suits a long outdoor service in full sun.
Welcome bags and out-of-town guests
Guests arriving from out of town notice the bottle in the room more than most of what goes in the bag. It is also the item that gets used first.
Reception tables and the bar
Sparkling on the tables reads as considered rather than functional, and the label carries the same design as everything else on the table.
The dance floor, later
Not glamorous, but the bottles you put out at 23:00 are the ones your guests will thank you for the next morning.
The label is yours
The label is a blank canvas, not a template with your name dropped into a slot. A monogram, your names and date, a botanical illustration matching your stationery, or a full photographic design all print. Two label stocks are available: clear, which lets the water show through and reads as understated, and white, which gives fine type and pale colours something solid to sit on.
Start on the preview tool on the homepage. Upload your design or monogram, switch between bottle shapes and label stock, and see it wrapped on the bottle. It is considerably more useful than imagining it from a flat PDF, and it costs nothing to try.
Two things worth knowing
Order earlier than feels necessary. The bottling is not the slow part; settling the artwork is. Couples almost always underestimate how many rounds a label design takes. Come to us once the design direction is decided and there is room to get it right.
Order more than the guest count. Bottles do not spoil on the day and nobody has ever regretted the extra case. Guests take two, children take three, and the photographer has been on their feet since morning.
The water itself
Purified by reverse osmosis to a clean baseline, with a fixed mineral profile added back for taste, so it is consistent from the first bottle to the last. It is laboratory tested more often than regulation requires. Bottles and labels are 100% recyclable, with the recycling marks printed on the label, which is worth knowing if you are trying to keep the day's waste down.
Common questions
How many bottles do we need for a wedding?
Our minimum is 144 bottles, which covers a ceremony and welcome table for a mid-size guest list comfortably. Count on rather more than one per guest if the ceremony is outdoors or in summer; bottles left over keep.
Can we put our names and the date on the label?
Yes. The label is your artwork, so names, a date, a monogram or a full illustrated design all print. Upload a finished design if you have one, or start from a logo or monogram in the preview tool.
Can we have still and sparkling at the same wedding?
Yes, with the same label on both. Sparkling on the reception tables and still for the ceremony is a common split.
How far in advance should we order?
Earlier than you think, because artwork approval is the part that takes time rather than the bottling. Talk to us as soon as the design is settled and we will tell you honestly what is achievable for your date.
