Kadou is Amanda Theron — floral designer, stylist and the creative heart behind some of the Winelands' most beloved weddings. Loose, romantic, never repeated. Every arrangement grown from your story.
I grew up in the Northern Suburbs of Cape Town, but it was the Ceres Karoo that shaped me. Those vast, quiet landscapes — where beauty hides in the dry and the still — taught me to look closer. To find wonder where others might see nothing at all.
I studied LLB. Logic had a plan. But my heart had been quietly making other arrangements, and eventually, I had no choice but to listen.
Kadou — the Afrikaans rendering of the French cadeau, meaning gift — came to me as only a divinely inspired name can: not chosen, but given. It has never felt more true than in the work I do today.
Over a decade of weddings has taught me that I am not the one giving the gift — I am receiving it, every single time. The gift of being trusted with love. Of being handed a moment that matters more than most, and being asked to make it beautiful. I would not trade it for anything.
My greatest hope is that when the day is over and the flowers have faded, what remains is the feeling — that something sacred was held, and celebrated, exactly as it deserved to be.

You transformed Natte Valleij into the most beautiful venue and we cannot thank you enough for your vision and giving us the magical, whimsical wedding we wanted!
The flowers at our wedding were out of this world incredible — everything and more I could have ever dreamt of. Every time I look at the photos I see something new, and it makes me happy all over again.
My bouquet was the most beautiful thing I've seen. When she brought it to me, I was nearly in tears. It was absolutely perfect — I never wanted to put it down.
Jy het presies geweet hoe dit moes wees en dit NOG beter gemaak. You understood my vision and made it more beautiful than I had imagined.
Someone pinch me!!! Thanks for adding your magic to our day — it was the highlight of the décor and everyone talked about it.
I got so many compliments on my bouquet. You took the whole look right out of my head — which I don't think anyone else could have done given we were so far away.
