Local wedding advice

If you’re planning a wedding in Zimbabwe, consider the time of year carefully. The dry season, between May and October, is the safest bet for outdoor events because the weather is cooler and less humid. Harare’s Borrowdale neighbourhood has several lovely venues that catch a nice breeze in the afternoon. If you’re leaning towards something more rustic, farms on the outskirts of Chitungwiza offer a genuine Zimbabwean countryside feel but make sure to arrange adequate transport for your guests. Also, hiring local florists familiar with native blooms like the flame lily or the protea can add a special authentic touch to your ceremony without the extra cost of imported flowers.
